A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

My mother says that most people get their cars washed once a week. I have no idea -- I've been getting mine washed usually twice a week lately, because the salt and sand from the roads builds up on the windows so much that I can barely see through them if I let it go any longer than that, but during the summer and fall, I'd get it washed maybe once or twice a month.

BWAHAHAHAHA! Once a week? I'm sure your mom is wonderful, but that is crazy talk.

I wash mine maybe twice a year? In the spring and then sometime in the summer. I shovel out the inside maybe 4-5 times a year.

I resent the time I spend gassing it up and getting the oil changed, much less cleaning it. I focus on cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry, and that takes up enough time.

God, I am beat. I fell asleep at about 11:30 and woke up at about 3 am with horrible stomach pain and some GI distress, to put it politely. I never wake up to pee or whatever once I am asleep. I couldn't fall back asleep til 4:30 or so, and then DH's alarm goes off at 5, so it was all patchy "God, let me just get 5 more minutes" nappage until 5:45.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Did DCistas all get home safely? I am currently in Silver Spring, after a three-hour stint in traffic. Luckily a friend of a friend lived nearby and offered to put me up.

8" on my deck. And that's AFTER 2-3" compressed under sleet and rain. Oooohkay.

Yeah, Maria's got a raw deal.

Punishingly Intricate

It took a friend of a friend 4 hours to get 7 miles. The local news is saying people are preparing to sleep in their cars on 83 (the highway that runs north-south from the beltway into bmore). It's been closed for hours after a tractor trailer jacknifed on it.

I am VERY happy I was able to leave work early this afternoon.

ION, my next door neighbor is belching REALLY LOUDLY.

I regard not washing my car as a protective measure that makes it less attractive to potential thieves.
