Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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

Caring even a little bit about what I'm wearing on the weekend is throwing me for a loop. Getting dressed is hard.

Eta: settled on an acceptable combination of jeans and a t-shirt. Whew!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I was just coming to post that it's kind of sad to catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror on the way out the door and realize that you aren't even dressed well enough for a 9:00 Saturday morning trip to Target.

I went anyway, since I am an adult and we get to do that, but still

I maintain an aggressively fuck-it-I-don't-care attitude about what I wear to grocery shop. Sweats and crocs are fine! That's right, I have given up, deal with it world.

I'm hanging out with Mom today, though, which requires slightly more effort, apparently.

Because books.

I have gone to the grocery store braless, no makeup, wearing a ball cap over unwashed hair. Do I win?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have only done McD's drive thru braless.

Congrats Matt on the Jesus Christ pound loss.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Going braless is what my jean jacket is for.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I'd use less liquid -- to use less thickener for the soup.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My Paleo friend uses - I think - pureed cauliflower for thickening.

I don't go out braless because they're just too big. I rarely wear makeup at all anymore, and I have an assortment of hats and wide headbands for bad hair days/days I didn't feel like washing it. Buff headbands are great for covering the gray roots. I draw the line at wearing pajamas to the store, but sweats and yoga pants are fine.

I bailed on the movie group tonight. I'm still coughing and gross. At least tonight they're showing Magic and Chucky, so I'm not missing movies I would've really liked to see.

Speaking of movie group, did you all know Jack Daniels has a vanilla flavor whiskey?

Vanilla flavored whiskey?? Really? Strange. I wouldn't think whiskey drinkers would be into that. Or is the plan to attract new ones? I guess there is Fireball, which is popular...

For me the issue tends to be less a clothing problem (I don't normally leave the house in yoga pants, but will if I feel super lazy), and more a "but I have to put on SHOES?" problem. Less an issue in summer when there can be flip flops.
