My grandmother is someone who Saves Things; when she moved out of her house we hired an estate company, and even they had never seen anything like her basement. My mom ended up with custody of several sets of heirloom dishes and a lot of old photos, and my grandmother still has more of both, apparently.
I have a tendency to accumulate pretty old things I don't need: vintage hats, jars of buttons, photos of strangers. Not to mention the clothes. I'm better than I used to be, though-- I found the original owners of my giant suitcase of vintage photos and gave them back.
I am impressed with how often most of you wash your sheets. I find putting sheets on the bed to be incredibly onerous, so it only happens when they start to smell off or a cat manages to sneak into the bedroom and do something terrible on my bed. Aside from the semi-annual Seasonal Changing of the Sheets i maybe wash them twice. Pillowcases, OTOH, get changed every time i wash my hair. I require clean pillowcases against my face. I have a huge stack of clean pillowcases next to the bed. Needless to say, they rarely match the sheets. Years ago while i was living in San Diego i bought one of those wee bitty sewing machines and made stacks of pillowcases out of remnants and discount flat sheets. That's as extensive as my sewing ever got.

Puppy Bowl!
Tep, you need to dress Tim up like a seraphim and you could go to parties as the Marriage of Heaven and Hell.

We're going to my mom and stepdad's, and I think my sports-loving would throw a beer at my head if I suggested the puppy bowl. Philistines.

There was some crazy random dude there last night, wearing bright green pants, suspenders, and just a plain white dress shirt, and a full-face gold sparkly mask. Every time I bumped into him, he pulled a bible out of his pants and pointed at me and then the bible and made the crossed-fingers-get-away gesture. And I would laugh and tell him that as the devil, I was a major character in that book.
The last time I bumped into him, he opened the bible to show me it was hollowed out so a flask would fit in there. Good times.
Hey, LAistas, I might need to beg a pharmacy run tomorrow. Could anyone help?
If you still need any help with this ita, let me know. Do you have my cell number?
I have the World's Softest Sheets thanks to megan walker. We technically have other sheets, but these are the only ones that go on our bed. I wash them every 1-2 weeks depending on how busy I am.
Pete thanks for the coffee rec! So I should order the ground 5 lb Costa Rican blend?
God, waking up at 6 was somewhat useful during the week, but weekends? Meh. And the cats are onboard with it, so I get pawing at the face, biting of the toes and whining and meeping. And I can't go back to sleep until after Mister Kitty's shot. I'm not ready to be awake.
This morning kripkat started PULLING MY HAIR at 6 am. Biting my head, getting a hank of hair, pulling, and making a fart spitting sound with his mouth from the suction. Unbelievable.
Miss Kitty is in a mood. No matter what I'm doing, she is up in my face meowing.
I have changed the sheets on my bed, there is a load of laundry in the washer and one in the dryer, my bathroom has been cleaned, lots of misc. stuff has found a home, and I have a pile of clean laundry staring at me, awaiting attention.
I'm updating the several versions of my resume. Later, there will be Puppy Bowl, and possibly going out to a near-deserted movie theatre.
Tep, I love Devil Girl! You look fantastic!
