We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Today was "clean off the DVR day," which seems to be a tradition, and after all that effort I took a nap. Now I will get up, put on clothes, make dinner, and then tidy in preparation for Calli's arrival.

Tomorrow, I dunno. Hopefully cleaning, bill-paying, and paperwork. And then the aforementioned anti-Super Bowl activities.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Love the skirt, Tep!

Warning, dull list of errands to follow: Today I went to pilates, then DH and I bought dog food from the pet warehouse store in the really bad neighborhood, then lunch out. We found a cool baby store and bought baby shower presents for the niece: A Ramones onesie, a tiny Sublime t-shirt and size one pink and white checked Vans.

We bought a bottom sheet at Macy's to replace the one which got a hole this week--yeah, we are the kind of peeps who only have one set of sheets at a time. We have one back-up set, but don't like it as much.

How many sheets do you guys have?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh dear lord my linen closet is ridiculous. Like, 5 flannel and 6 regular cotton sets? More or less. I have no idea where that particular mania came from. I'm not allowed to buy more sheets, though.

Weekend plans: kitchen cleaning, cookin' up a mess of greens, maybe watching the Superbowl, maybe mowing the lawn, definitely looking for the small bag of hardware that was supposed to come with my worm bin that I hope is hidden somewhere in my living room rather than completely missing. The usual.

Eta: I love that skirt, Tep. It'll look great with your flamey corset.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I use one set at a time, winter and summer, but I have a couple of others I never use. One I sacrificed to the cat as a sofa slipcover this summer....

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I like having 3 sets of sheets: plush micro fiber for winter, 400 thread ct cotton for summer, and then a backup set that's also cotton for laundry issues. But then i was gifted my friend's old matress set for my guest room when they upgraded from double to queen and was also gifted ALL their sheets. At least 5 sets. Maybe more, i haven't fully investigated the box. They had a baby at the time and lots of laundry emergencies, so many backup sets. So now i have LOTS of spare sheets. Should prolly donate them soon, i have no use for that many sheets.

eta: and i have 3 different king size flat sheets for protecting furniture from cats. The cat sheets.

I was planning to buy sheets today, but haven't yet. I think it's time for food. And then maybe a massage. Or a movie. And I might buy a soda maker if I can find one.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

We have 2 sets of regular cotton sheets and 1 set of t-shirt material sheets. The t-shirt sheets tend to get used only in the summer, because they sort of "stick" to whatever one wears to bed, which means that rolling over results in a MASSIVE stealing of the sheets. In the summer, when one tends to sleep in less clothing, it's not a problem. Or, it's like the sheets ARE your jammies!

Good thing I sleep alone, because flannel sheets + flannel jammies means every time I roll over, all of the sheets come with me! It's like I'm a felt board.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yeah, I have to choose between my flannel sheets or nightgown, because I hate feeling stuck in my own bedclothes.

This is why I sleep in the nude, people.
