I have had the best day. I never did get to the Goodwill, but instead added to the pile of things to go. I have a hard time getting rid of things and will look at a shirt that I've not worn in a year and think, "but it's so nice, I should keep it..." Instead today I thought of how happy someone else would be to find a shirt at the Goodwill that was ( Read more... )

Anyone have a particular position on ex-boyfriend stuff? About a year ago my friend convinced me that if I wanted to meet someone to share my life with, I had to make room for them and that started me on a clean out binge. I got rid of half my shoes and emptied half my closet so someone else could have room to move in. Around the same time, someone ( Read more... )

Also, feel the power of the LJ!

Hi smart friends. This is the letter I've drafted to the CEO of Travelocity. Any input? I'm trying to keep it condensed to one page and to be as reasonable as possible, but, boy howdy, it's hard! Let me know what you think... I mean about the letter as I already know they stink. I'm trying very hard not to sound like a crazy cat lady, but it's ( Read more... )

Police Meetings are Back! This week I learned about the mounted unit which is on the verge of being disbanded. Turns out they do more than show up for parades. The horses fit easily down our little alleys and the officer is high enough to see over our concrete walls and privacy fences. Given the odds of them peeking at me versus spying a bad guy ( Read more... )

Too good not to share - Buffy vs. Edward. I think it's clear who wins that one. But this video, it's brilliant!
