Since my tweet he's played Suzanne Vega and Jefferson Airplane! The previous hour was all dudes. Maybe he's paying attention.

Hah! Good for him (and you).

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

I took today off. I'll wear red when I leave the house. I think I can get through the day without spending any money. I'm going to make a donation to a women's org, other than PP because they get my money anyway. Suggestions?

Thrive to spite them

I wore my uncomfortable red shirt. I'm going to therapy and not sure after that.

Compassionately intolerant

Zen, DC has local shelters like Martha's Table and Capitol Hill Group Ministries. I'll bet your town has them too. Without the marketing budget of Goodwill and such, they always need help.

I'm wearing red and staying off FB. I just checked Twitter, so I need to add that to my Self Control app.

I have two appointments today that I chose to keep because they are both about supporting women. Beyond that, I'm not spending any money. Cagney has a play date and I might do some filing.

Livin' the wild life over here!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The excellent chocolate store in my neighborhood is owned and run by a woman, so I may need to buy chocolate today.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My silence is being noted in the office. I usually greet everyone and take a mid morning break to visit with people. The coworker who visits with me the least just stopped by to ask about my vacation next week.

Being off FB is hard.

I am getting the pink in my hair redone and increased and I think I will go buy cupcakes from the woman owned bakery.

Is it OK to spend money if I'm buying a major appliance for a woman? My mom needs a new dishwasher and tonight is the evening she picked to go shopping for it.

My classic rock station regularly plays women. The morning guy loves Heart.

Like a pathetic member of the bourgeoisie, I'm at work munching on the breakfast the company supplied for Women's Day. And I forgot about red.

I'm wearing red, but working--had I known about this earlier I could've but didn't hear until after I'd already taken most of yesterday off!

And since I just got home from a week long trip yesterday I really do need to spend money today...are there women owned grocery stores? If I go to the co-op does that count?

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I'm wearing red, but I'm not working right now, so I couldn't take the day off. Only did minimal housework though - I made the bed and emptied the dishwasher because I couldn't live with myself otherwise, but definitely not doing any extra sweeping/mopping/dusting or anything today.

Yesterday I took a train 40 mins to hang out at the Humane Society with some cats, and I didn't realize that I am literally around the corner from Miami-Dade Animal Services. I think I'll head over there this afternoon. I'm having trouble deciding if I think I'm allergic to cats! I was a tad sniffly yesterday morning before I ever went near one, and it didn't get any worse after having some cats crawl all over me. I'm paranoid, though - we want a cat, but I don't want to get it home and THEN realize it makes me sick - I could never bring it back to a shelter. So I guess I'll check out another shelter and see if I can get some more cats crawling all over. I hope I can have one :(
