I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

bon! We need to watch TV again soon.

Absolutely. Stuff has been not happening because of the new job; I'm going to the OC again tomorrow for the week. How about 2/19?

I felt like the little junk woman in Labyrinth trying to make those decisions. I don't now.

Ahahahahaha. Yes. That is how I feel right now, going through the BOXES AND BOXES of stuff my Mom had squirreled away. Jesus, the woman could have opened her own yarn & needlepoint shop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, burrell. I need to not need to get med refills on a Sunday. We'll see if they let me fill it.

Bon, I will pencil you in. You really need to see the end of S2, and I need to get back into Wire. Your silly job.

Oh! Your meetiversary with rob rob is soon.

Which reminds me, for some reason I'm grumpy about Valentine's this year. Not sure why. Normally I'm okay with whatever. Halloween made me grumpy too. Candy holidays bad? WTF?

bonny! Find someone with a button box--I'd send you my grandmother's, but I gave it to a friend who makes her living from her ebay store--or who collects or keeps old photographs --also given to the ebay cause. Hey, I figure anyone willing to pay for old buttons or old photos wants them and will use them more than me. And this way my friend gets to feed herself and her rescue animals.

Oh my god. I could totally open my own vintage ebay shop with all this stuff. Buttons? check. Old photos? check. Bits n bobs of old silver, like salt cellars and teeny tiny funnels? check.

huh. Never really thought about ebay for all this. Actually, despite having taken an ebay university class, I find the whole process pretty intimidating.

But I WOULD love to turn these stores of things into cash...and space.

Beverly, can you point me to your friend's store? I could use some encouragement via someone else's success.

Pretty much the only time I wear pajamas is at the F2F. You're welcome.

I go a fairly long time without changing sheets but I am a night showerer who sleeps alone. I don't see much point in doing it frequently.

Oooh. I may want to talk to you about the teeny-tiny funnels. Those are good for filling teeny-tiny perfume bottles.

Fucking hell, we're old.

Remember how I told you V-Day was a bad idea? Yeah, shows how much I know about shit. Although I'm going to crinkle my nose at the day, I will raise a virtual glass to you two cuties.

That's what they are for.

My great-aunt worked for Estee Lauder...the actual woman. And was an international cosmetics model for Alexandra de Markoff.

I've also got a set of commemorative brandy snifters for an Houbigant event.

And a Cappe de Monde handkerchief box featuring a Satyr and her children.

So MUCH stuff I have had a hard time letting go of...not because I want to use it, but because I don't really know how to sell it intelligently.
