I find her little winged logo highly offputting.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, because aren't you supposed to swat flies?
Also, why do I have to wear shoes? A system that requires I put on outside pants and shoes is a system destined to fail for me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We found this book very helpful: [link]
It gives you a way to organize when to clean what and lots of time-saving tips. He's quite bossy and thinks his way is the only way, but I just ignore that part. It really helped me clean faster and more efficiently, so I have to spend less time doing it.

I don't get the shoes thing either. My dislike of the shoes and clothes is one reason I work at home. Also, when my mother still had the energy, she was a housecleaning machine. The woman used to wash walls. She habitually did all her housework in her pajamas, then got dressed. Sometimes that was at 3 p.m., but she would have done more cleaning in that amount of time than I do in a month.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Seconding Scrappy's book rec, which I had totally spaced the title of! It's actual techniques and advice on tackling cleaning things in a quickie pass vs a more thorough job, with no glurge about how you obviously have no self-respect if you don't keep things clean for your man. I should dig it out from under whatever pile of clutter it lives in.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Purple puddles are happy tears. I like the shiny sink, I think because it's easier to talk myself into cooking food if there's not already a pile of nasty dishes to deal with.
I am going to have to check out Batlady! And the book rec.

Thrive to spite them
There were a couple of cleaning/organizing books in with the others I got off freecycle. Speed Cleaning book was one of them and the How Clean is Your House book.
I guess the idea behind wearing lace up shoes is that you are wearing actual clothes versus pjs and slippers. Or something. I don't like wearing shoe, esp in the summer. So I'll only wear shoes sneakers if I have to wash dishes or cook (if I'm barefoot my legs/hips start to hurt. I really want a gel cushion pad for the kitchen).

Trust my rage
I have a black sink of some sort. I love that it needs no polishing

I don't polish my sink, I just give it a quick wipe and then dry it. Keeps the Lutherans from breeding.
