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

When I had a cleaning service, I did as meara and stayed in my office while they cleaned. I didn't have them clean the office, but they usually vaccumed anyway, which was nice.

I miss having a cleaning service. Once my car gets paid off, I might hire one again. It's really nice having the whole house clean at the same time, which I never seem to manage on my own.

We are sometimes here, sometimes not, but our cleaning person has been cleaning for us for about 5 years now, and is our ex-nanny's sister, so we were comfortable with her from the start.

I'm always here when the cleaning service is working, but that's because I'm paranoid that the cats will get out/do something unfortunate/have problems.

My Mom's maid worked for her for over 30 years and became a family friend who house sat when Mom was out of town.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

We are usually here when the cleaners come, but we stay downstairs while they are upstairs and vice versa. They cleaned for the people who owned this house before us, and have been cleaning for us now for a couple of years, so we're fine leaving them alone.

I looking at dresses again because I have coupons and there's a Buy Two Get One Free Sale. I don't need more dresses. And yet I kind of want them?

I like the first and last.

And now I want to start shopping.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I love the navy, but maybe with a tailored belt--no sash bow. And the skirt is adorable, but I really like the dress in the third link.

The sash bow is putting me off, I agree.

Edit: Oh, wait! It's removable! Crap. Back in the game, dress...

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

One of the crazy people is posting on the cancer list. I won't point out how remarkably fact free the article [link] she linked to is. I won't point out....

A sample:

Oxygen, hydrogen peroxide (which our bodies continually create ), air pollution (ozone), tobacco smoke, most chemotherapy drugs, radiation therapy and alcohol are among the more common and noteworthy free radicals in nature. Chemo and radiation are free radicals that work, hopefully, by killing more cancer cells than healthy cells. We are constantly “rusting” from within, just like a nail rusts outside. We can slow down this rusting with antioxidants, such as vitamin C and lipoic acid, but we cannot stop it completely.

I don't know about her, but I am not rusting from within.

No wait, that's Wall-ee, isn't it?
