If you want to come over for dinner (we're making shepherd's pie) and Leverage later, you are more than welcome to! If you bring ginger ale we can make that Pimms drink you like...
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It also explains the success of systems like Fly Lady for some people. If you cover many things you do with checklists that are done on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, you've removed, or at least pre-made, a crowd of decisions.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thank you, Nora. I may do that. I'm making red beans and rice for lunches this week, but that sounds lovely.
Ginger, yes. And that's why I stay subscribed to the FlyLady emails, though my eyeballs hurt from the rolling.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
smonster! Can't see kitty pics--I have you friended on flickr. I dun geddit.
Also? Totally not you. And also also? What Ginger said. 'S why some people have a dozen copies of the same outfit, so they never have to decide what to wear. Decision-making is paralyzing. The only way around it for me is insta-decision with no chance for dithering. It's often the wrong decision, but it's decided, and that's the de-paralyzing thing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
smonster, another introvert chiming in, here. When I need to recharge, I don't want ANYONE around, even my bestest best friend. I get really cranky and I don't to be cranky with the people I love. Also, you are not a PITA. You are delightful.

Oh, god, yes. Too much decision-making is paralyzing and exhausting. I'm suspecting that part of what I've always called my depression is a tendency to get overwhelmed with decisions, until even the simplest decision is enough to send me crawling into bed to hide.
Ginger, that article was really interesting, especially the part about dieting. It may explain why I've always found diets, paradoxically, easier to stick to and more effective if I have some of the forbidden sugar.

You have a stronger stomach than I do. I think her principles are really sound, but I can only take so many LOLs per square inch.

"Purple puddles" is what kills me. But actually, I find Flylady less annoying than the No Excuse Workout dude.
I will check what's up with my flickr account. After a nap. I just talked to my family and it made me tired.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Purple puddles sounds like Barney had a little accident. But it is a known thing that my hatred for the flylady overrides my respect for the structure underlying the method.
Flylady autocorrects to goulash, btw.
