I think almost 80 degrees and sunny here means I'd better do some laundry so I can hang it on the line, because it's going to be cold and rainy starting tomorrow.
I feel so housewifey.
Unrelatedly, my feet STILL hurt today from dancing at the wedding reception Saturday. I am nothing if not enthusiastic, and I never pass up the opportunity to do the chicken dance. I also got Tim's brother -- the father of the bride -- to do the Pogo to Devo (because he did it at OUR wedding), and then I felt like it would only be right for me to do it, too. And of course there was "YMCA" and "Hang on Sloopy" (because, you know, O-H-I-O [Tim and his brothers went to Ohio State University]). After the first hour or so of music, I told Tim that I was going to ask his dad to dance at the next slow song. Which was "Let's Get it On." So...NOPE. Can't dance with my FiL to "Let's Get it On." But we did dance later.
I did NOT do the Electric Slide or any of the other line dances (are they called that if they aren't country music?), because I have NO idea how to do them. But the groom's family did, and they were hilarious to watch. I love when people are just flat-out getting their groove on because it's time to celebrate.
At least you didn't forget lunch, t?
I need to get some work done before I leave this afternoon. ...will start that any minute now. Yup. Annnnnnny minute.
Also: I finally the other week got around to requesting a return package/refund for my Fitbit Force (it did give me a bit of a rash in the summer, and I quit wearing it for a while, and these days a few pieces have cracked off and it's starting to come unglued--which since I've only had it since like, February, and didn't even wear it all the months since then, that's pretty sad). I was looking at the Garmin Vivofit as a possible replacement (since I have other Garmin products), but now Fitbit just announced new stuff! Not sure if I want to go with them, though. Hrm. They're prettier than the Vivofit, and it doesn't have vibrating notifications, which I like, but....
The only reason I didn't forget lunch was because I had no lunch to forget. But that is something, I suppose.
Which means (1) you won't be missing the lunch you'd packed at home and (2) you won't go home to some ... um, aged ... tuna salad.
Even Ad-Rock agrees with my old tag line-- Pat Kiernan and Roger Clark, OTP. [link]
Strix, I'm so glad Cosmo is home safe! You were clever as hell, baiting that trap like you did. I'm sure that's what lured her in.
I've eaten something green. There was broccoli in my pasta chicken salad and I didn't have the will to pick it all out. I'm determined that that won't be the only grown-up thing I do today. I'm off to wash the bed linens now. Later I'll gird my loins and clean the kitchen.
I abhor the tedium of the never-ending daily chores. The more stuff you have, the more of your time goes into maintaining it.
Relatedly, someone needs to invent a self-cleaning carpet.

Washing dishes drives me nuts because I just get the sink empty (some people aim for inbox zero; I aim for sink zero) and then someone who shall remain nameless comes along with a dirty tupperware from his lunchbag and puts it in the sink. PERFIDY.
This is why when I get my dishes all washed ( a rare event) I like to eat out for at least a couple of meals. I haven't worked out a practical way to not generate laundry, yet.

It was kind of revelatory to me to look at a pile of useful dishes and think "If I didn't have these, I wouldn't have to wash them. Hm, thrift store."
