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.

Punishingly Intricate

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!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

I think it's just entirely possible that there is nothing on the planet that looks wrong on her. I mean, she should NOT have been able to pull of that bird dress. No human should have pulled off that bird dress!

She could wear secondhand Bjork and make it look amazing.

Damn her. Damn her beautiful everything.
