I definitely, absolutely watch too many of those hoarding shows.  What are there, like six of them now?  I can't help myself.  It's the morbid fascination of watching people with a disorder that you don't remotely share.  I'm like the anti-hoarder, I purge constantly and don't save much of anything.  If I haven't used/worn/thought about it in six ( Read more... )

Ever have a day where you just have a bunch of energy and you Get Shit Done? That was me last night. Here was my rundown ( Read more... )

Keurig Alert: I found Green Mountain Pumpkin Spice (which is super yummy) K-Cups at Sam's Club. Eighty cups for $33. SCORE. I might try and stock up in a few weeks ( Read more... )

Sleeeeeepy. One, got up at 6 a.m. Two, for the first time it was cold enough in here to turn the heat on because I was freezing, so I went upstairs and took a really hot shower, so I have that post-hot-shower-snuggly-clothes sleepy feeling ( Read more... )

I made an appointment to see a foot/ankle specialist this afternoon (the ankle feels better today but I'd rather be safe than sorry) which means I'm going to have to leave work around 3:30, so I decided to get up extra early...at the unheard-of hour of six-freaking-a.m....and get to work before 7 ( Read more... )

• Being an Adult Report: Slept a little later than intended but got out of the house before 9, got to work at 9:15 (slightly late but no big), packed a lunch last night so aces on that. But I think having my carpets cleaned earns me extra Being an Adult points. Spending $100-odd on having something cleaned is definitely a sign of adulthood, as is ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I'm having my carpets cleaned. Well, some of them. The living room and both staircases, plus my bedroom. They desperately desperately need it after seven years of living here and never being cleaned, just vacuumed. I'm also having the cleaners clean my ancient but oh-so-comfortable sofa, which is just dingy ( Read more... )

So many interesting responses to yesterday's post about curiosity re: venipuncture! I never thought about how paramedics would have to be super good at starting IVs in a moving vehicle. Thanks for all the insight! Also, my mom confirmed on FB that I never made a fuss about having blood drawn and would always watch. That was reassuring; you know ( Read more... )

I am making another one of my attempts to Be An Adult. (Oblig: link to Allie Brosh's infamous column This Is Why I'll Never Be An AdultNow, the things in Allie's column are things I've mostly mastered. Bank, groceries...well, the Clean All the Things is touch and go...but yeah. The things I'm going for are a bit next-level Adult. Change the ( Read more... )

Wow, some days I feel extra industrious and some days I don't. When I do I try to take full advantage. I am apparently feeling super industrious this afternoon ( Read more... )
