That's right. Take a day off. It's cold, there's plenty of time to scramble. Today just slow down and count your blessings. Maybe post something for which you're grateful, or help someone else. The dishes aren't going anywhere.
Take the day off? I can't. Rather than cleaning, I spent the better part of Saturday responding to email that was suspiciously like spam, but was not. I now must at least catch the basics. Those sink drains must be sterile or I can’t rest. I am thankful for my friends, mindful (sans foot-in-mouth) of those who feel blue during this, the most celebrated of commercial seasons, and hopeful Santa drops a sweet new lens under the tree (M will read this as a 100mm f/2.0 for portrait work).
Dob-I heart Moxlings who cannot take the day off! I'm not either. Everyone's so stressed out though, I thought it would be satisfying to read that that is today's assignment. OT: I hate the mismatched shit graphics on this post and apologize to anyone who sees it. Way to work in lenspeak to Mesina you GEEK! You should have her send you peace sign rubber boots. OMG Mes you have to!!!
Off to fold laundry and get ready for one hell of a day.
I love that Dobby totally slipped his geekness into his cleaning post to share the drool over the 100mm f/2.0 lens he's got on his list for Santa! Hey, I can totally get down with hookin up a fellow photography geek some peace sign rubber boots....especially since he is an entire ocean away and so thus cannot possibly steal my thunder while I am sporting mine. Cos I can't be havin' that!
I won't be getting a new lens from Santa this year however - however much I beg and plead, Santa's money will just have to be goin' to these sweet lil ones first! If he has a box of chocolates or some funky ass socks for me to wear with my awesome boots well then I'd just be a happy camper.
Today I am busting my butt around this house catching up on what the weekend didn't do, so thus I am up to my backside in laundry, ironing (light...most done tomorrow) and bascially letting Mr Dyson suck up to his lil motor heart's desire where the dirt and doghair reigns. After that I dunno...prolly GEEK OUT with this month's edition to Practical Photography. Cos I'm totally awesome like that ♥
I'm a mother, reader, writer, and an open-minded Democrat. I'm funny, but have said my share of regrettable things in life. I admit my mistakes, and expect the same of others. I fail at getting out of hammocks. I can detect and deflect facades. I make friends easily and when I listen I REALLY listen. I always remember your aunt Clara and her cats. I'm approachable and genuine, willing to do anything to help, be it moving a piano on my back, making you laugh when it feels impossible, cleaning, and have dressed in drag to make someone smile. I will accept/succeed at 99% of dares. I'm a picky grammarian, but I'm not perfect and you don't have to be either. I draw the line at vicious behaviour, flakes who don't even offer plausible or amusing excuses, thieves, bitches, bitch-face, and people who choose to believe what they know to be false. I don't like sci-fi, the words "nother," "prolly," nor "irregardless." I will not abide ANYONE who would harm a child with their words, bodies, actions, inactions, or indirectly. I will fight for any child, and I will go Dexter on your ass if you threaten my child.
I'm more fun than not.
