Reminder: come by my place tomorrow at 7:30 to give, get, or trade clothing -- or just hang out! Help me eat the last batch of bespoke cupcakes from my personal staff of bakers!

(If you don't know where I live, ping me at my LJ address.)

The big winner in the poll was Thursday, July 16th. Shall we say 7:30 pm? Come on over if you have clothes to trade or give away, or if you just want some new-to-you clothes! I have a lot of clothes I want to get rid of! People interested in hanging out are also most welcome ( Read more... )

Obviously, since I'm going to be in Las Vegas this weekend, I won't be hosting a clothing swap. However, I'd still like to do this soon, so here is a poll of available dates next week and weekend. Note that this will not be a strict "swap" -- my focus is certainly on getting rid of my two huge bags of clothing, not on receiving clothing -- so the ( Read more... )

I still have a bale of clothing to give away and lots of pairs of shoes. Anybody else in a similar situation? Would folks be up for an impromptu clothing/shoe swap at my place this weekend? If so, sound off as to whether Saturday or Sunday afternoon (or Sunday evening, for that matter) would be good for you. Next weekend is also a possibility, if ( Read more... )

Be warned that the purpose of this trip is to check out the camping sites on Lovells, and, if there's time, Grape and Bumpkin, so I won't be spending a lot of time wandering around, and will only by on Georges long ( Read more... )

Today I am full of miffedness at people who come into my home and gouge up my floors. I mean, I know they're going to get scratched and dinged and so on, but does it have to happen so quickly? Today's etiquette tip : if your enjoyment of someone's hospitality depends on rearranging furniture without asking, at least pick it up and place it down ( Read more... )

As I clean up for the party, I am reminded again how having plasterwork done is kinda like taking your whole house to the playa. Fortunately, plaster dust is less stubborn than playa dust.

I'm having another Demolition Party this Sunday from 12 to 3 to take down the closet in the bedroom. Come vent your frustrations on my crumbling plaster! Party ends at 3 because that's when parking on my street is no longer allowed due to the block party starting at 4. However, given that it only took us a few hours to take down an entire wall, I ( Read more... )
