Man, I love Manhattanhenge!
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just - well, examined my toilet carefully, and decided it does not need scrubbing! AIFG!
(The other one, the one the three year old uses, does. Note me here, not scrubbing it.)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I don't mind toilets (mine, that is) but laundry? I DESPISE it. The folding and the putting it away.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
My usual rule is 20 minuets. But for certain jobs -- 5 things would be excellent. Like putting clothes away. I hate it, I dont do it, yet get frustrated when I can't find things. 5 things would never finish the job, but 5 more things would be put away and that would be excellent.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Indeed...It's the extraordinary things we rise to. It's scrubbing the toilet that defeats us.
Erin, may I tag?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'd like to note that while my boyfriend is building a laser-time-travel mousetrap, our 2 cats are sleeping on the back of the big comfy chair.
Better mousetrap, my ass.
t edit And this discussion is prompting me to stop reading Doonesbury and go was some dishes. Maybe not all, but some.

Of course, smonster!
we have four cats. We should have MORE mice for those lazy bastards to chase.
The indoor/outdoor cats DOES kill birds, I suppose...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Put me in the "what Erin said" camp as well.
As someone who frequently uses both the 5 things rule (mostly for clothes) and the timer, I've found that creating a done! list, rather than a to do list, can also be helpful for me. It lets me focus on what I have accomplished, instead of what I should do, plus gives me a reason to stop working/be in front of the computer for a few minutes between tasks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I never manage to be in the city for Manhattanhenge, but it's awesome.

That's a good idea, Perkins! Sometimes I do that in my journal; try to focus on the stuff I DID get to, instead of the infinity of crap I didn't.
Sometimes, i surprise myself!
