Can this please let up for awhile?

Indeed.

Even though I don't go anywhere, I bought myself a nerdy little skirt on Etsy. I may end up buying the Halloween-themed skirt, too, even though -- once again -- I don't go anywhere.

Super cute!

So cute! I had it in my head you already bought the Halloween skirt, so obviously I think you should.

No reason you can't wear cute skirts at home for your own enjoyment

Both skirts so cute!

Thanks, dcp, that's probably the answer.

I posted it on FB a couple of weeks ago to admit that, although under normal circumstances I shake my tiny fist and rail at people who get hyped for Halloween in August (because it is Too Damn Early), I was eyeing up that skirt, so I have fallen prey to Early Halloween.

I live in gym shorts or t-shirt dresses when the temperature is above 70, so a flippy little skirt is really no different.

That's a cute skirt.

Well I don't have to worry about if I have enough hours next week we are back to 39.5 hours and it looks like maybe the store hours are changing again because on Friday and Saturday I'm scheduled until 8. Hopefully more hours means there will be more people to do things rather than I have almost 40 hours and there is no one to do anything.

Well, the evacuation zone is this side of the hills now, but still the other end of Fairfield from me. Still feeling like I am probably ok where I am but do not like

Timelies all!

Came home yesterday to find a sign in the grass in front of my parking spot that said repair work was happening from 8/19-8/21 6:30 am to 6:30 pm, so no parking. Parked in a guest spot. Came home from work today to see no indication that any work had been done, but the sign was still there.

-t and Katerina Bee, I hope you stay safe and breathe easy (ditto all the other nearby Cal-istas).

juliana, are you in California now, too?

Teppy, I like both skirts. They're really cute.

Elsewehere in Greater Camberville, somebody had the Madonna stolen out of their front yard.

I'm not Catholic, but that seems like a good way to get yourself cursed.

This is what always gets me about the theft of religious objects, particularly something like an outdoor yard statue, that is unlikely to have any monetary value.

If you believe it, you (should) be of the opinion that having a stolen statue isn't likely to bestow any divine favor.

If you don't believe it, and didn't steal it for its value, why do you want it; aren't you just the eensiest bit suspicious, just in a popular conception of karma way?

They must have had to rest from putting up that sign.
