I'm pretty proud of myself that I thought to start using the garden shovel on the ice -- it's way better than the combination of ice breaker and plastic shovel I was doing before. And I got the idea from a professional! Last winter, one of the guys who had done all the work on my apartment came by to check on us and he got the ice off the front steps in approximately .1 seconds, thanks to a metal shovel. That guy is the nicest!
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's almost 70 degrees here. It was freezing a couple days ago, and in a couple days will be freezing again. Whatever, Nature.

Yeah, it's 50 degrees in Ohio today. I think I convinced my mother, who is in Boston, 65, and has a head cold, that she should ask her stepdaughter's husband, WHO OWNS A LANDSCAPING COMPANY WHOSE MAIN BUSINESS IN WINTER IS SNOW REMOVAL to do her shoveling today. Did I mention they live next door? My mother is very tough and reluctant to ask for help, sometimes to her own detriment.

73 here which is ridiculous. Will be the same for the next 3 days. Of course Mac and I are both inside.

Our wings are not tired.
I feel like we haven't heard from omnis in a while.
I was thinking that same thing a while ago too. If he doesn't appear soon I'll send him a note via FB.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
70-ish here. I am wearing shorts. Less than a week ago, I nearly spun out on pack ice.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I feel like we haven't heard from omnis in a while.
He checked in at the Gaming thread on 27 January. I think he's lurking for the moment.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You can do all those DIY things, meara! Just take your time and follow the instructions (consult good/youtube if the instructions that don't come with the lock/sconce/whatever aren't good) and you'll be fine. It's very satisfying.

Well, at the moment I think I don't want to drag my ass to Home Depot, so I'm going to work on taxes and potential house-refinancing, and then maybe some clothing reducing if I can (I go back and forth between "I don't wear it but it's still awesome/useful for some particular outfit!" and "screw it all, I will donate ALL the shirts!", so we'll see).
Also: i have this super dress that I bought....over a year and a half ago? And right now it fits me great. BUT I can't figure out where to wear it! It's a gorgeous sexy dress, but it's ponte fabric, and a sheath dress, so doesn't really work for like, fancy fancy occasions. But it's way too nice and way too sexy to wear to, say, a work occasion. Help? It looks amazing on me and I want to find a place to wear it!
