Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Not knowing what you mean by boat, exactly, maybe start calling the area yacht clubs and/or marinas for suggestions of where to start looking/how to look?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, I think I need to share this baby alpaca with Good Stuff followers. IJS.

So sweet!

On the heat front, my first year out of college, I lived in a rowhouse in DC with two roommates. It was the worst winter ever, so we were home from work for a week or more, in a house that was super drafty, especially on the first floor, where of course we were all hanging out. AND I was a temp, which meant I wasn't getting paid for the snow days, but did have to pay for the heat. The worst.

Also, shrift, I found a *YourLastName* in my family tree, so I'm now convinced that we're related.

Ha. Out of curiosity, I just checked how common MyLastName is, and while it's no Smith, there are a lot of us.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Apparently I would rather *read* Unfuck Your Habitat than actually unfuck my habitat. I am made of lazybones and slothful organs

Interesting place to read . I like the tone better than fly lady - except for one thing. I refuse the label lazy. But that is a big label I had had to fight to peel off.

They don't look like they emphasis routines. That 's been a big thing for me . I get up and do x, y , z and sometimes a . when I get home I do e, f and g. And if I miss a day - because I do these things all the time, there is no heap of stuff, just a little extra.

Our heat is now set to go on in the am if it is under 68 degrees in the house. I forgot that I set it to run a little longer on tuesday ( work later ) and wednesday ( the day I am most likely to be off) . Glad I don't have to think to much about it.

Jessica, my co-worker and her husband are big boat people. I can ask her if you'd like.

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

I love fashion vocab guides: shoes and bags.

OMG. Apparently, like $ ita $ (I'm not makin that s thing on my phone) I am a bad judge of age. I have been occasionally traveling and working with a coworker. I assumed she was in her early 40s or so...found out today we are the SAME AGE. Oops. (I feel minority better that she also thought I was younger than her, but still!)

So, Lupita Nyong'o has been killing it, fashion-wise, and I wonder if it doesn't help that she doesn't have to worry about what to do with her hair.

(I had a moment thinking, "But she's so gorgeous, and with that amazing body -- of course she looks great." Yeah, no. They are ALL gorgeous with great bodies!)

But seriously, I could look at Naya Rivera all day long, and she shows up at events in some fugly shit.
