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!

Why must I hunt hither and yon for a long handled dustpan! Target did not have one! My well-stocked grocer store did not have one. I have much sweeping to do in the kitchen, and I sure as hell am not going to bend over to use a dustpan. Don't make me go to WalMart!

Oh, sure, you don't have to do the DIY things right now.

Hm. Gorgeous sexy dress is not right for going out dancing, I take it?

I hardly shovelled today, and my shoulders are hurting like woah. I actually started shovelling the mound the city plow left blocking the sidewalk (The sidewalks are a city responsibility, but where the plow is too narrow for the sidewalk, they just leave snow.), but it was no match for my plastic shovel, and I was in a dress, so I decided to go at it later. When I went out, my neighbour had done it. This morning was the first time I left the house since Thursday evening.

I can't believe we are getting more snow. I give up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I did nothing yesterday but Internet and nap. So today I did laundry. I wanted to work out but decided I needed to dig my car out before it gets cold and all the slush turns rock-hard. Then I figured out digging my car out could count as a workout too. And it was, as I was all sweaty by the time I was done.

No, definitely not going out--it's fully lined.

I'd say it's similar in style to this: [link]

Except sleeveless, and with a neckline much lower (more like this one?) [link]

Vaguely similar to this one, only not snake print (it's a smoky blue with darker navy on the sides, which helps the curvy look) [link]

(I think possibly what I need is to be going on super-fancy adult-type dates with someone??)

I have similar issues with this dress, that I bought right around the same time and have likewise never worn:

I've been checking my e-mail every half hour to see if the deluge of files I'm supposed to get done by EOD Tuesday has actually started flowing my way yet. Well editors, it was a barely possible deadline when I told you I could work on it today back on Friday, but squeezing 3 busy days worth of work into two isn't going to work out so well.
