I thought I'd do a bit of a Grand Re-Opening here at Hot Water Bath, planned just right to follow my most recent Unannounced Periodic Shut Down wherein I don't post for an unspecified period of time (carefully designed and timed to drive away the couple dozen people who check in faithfully). To kick off the festivities, here is a little bit of information about me and what it is that I'm up to - just to provide a little context for the next time I up and go without so much as a by your leave.
In no particular order:
1) Today is my 13th wedding anniversary. Brainiac's, too.
2) We have two children, a Boy and a Girl. They are delightful.
3) We have two cats, a boy and a girl. They are somewhat, but only somewhat, less so.
4) I work for a hugegantic global corporation that makes products which a) some folks adore and b) some folks revile. Your mileage may vary.
5) We are Episcopalian. Some take this to mean we are too Christian and still others find us not Christian enough. That thing about mileage? Ditto.
6) As I get older I find righteous indignation more difficult to access.
7) My recent reading habits would have appalled the 20 year old me. I'm o.k. with it.
8) My superpowers include always finding good parking and rarely waiting for elevators.
9) I'd like to see new places, but hate the process of traveling to get to them. It's less taxing to stay home.
10) When I eat French fries, I match them up by size and eat them two by two. If there is an unmatched fry left at the end it doesn't get eaten.
11) I don't like ketchup with fries unless there is also malt vinegar.
12) My latest Strongly Held Conviction is that there are only three reasons people do any given thing: they want to, they have to or they *think* they have to. There are probably more of the last than the others. I have no idea if this would be considered true by actual scientific types, but it seems like it might be, yes?
13) Corollary to my latest Strongly Held Conviction: The reasons that people don't do something are: they don't want to, they can't or they don't *think* they can't. There are probably more of the last than the others. That thing about science types? Ditto.
14) I am a terrible housekeeper.
15) This is why I try to have large amounts of company every few months so that I give into a week long cleaning frenzy.
16) I reserve the right to an unlisted phone number for myself but am driven bonkers when other people have them.
17) I haven't been to a movie theater since the first Harry Potter film.
18) My Netflix queue tops 275 items as a result.
19) I love bread pudding.
20) I don't understand
pass interference or
roughing the passer in football. Unlike baseball's
infield fly rule, which is just inexplicably random and something I can therefore ignore, the first two seem to completely oppose the entire point of football - to knock people over and prevent them from doing things that could lead to scoring. Placing limits on that goal, short of actual violent stuff (
facemask penalties I totally get) seems counterproductive to the game as I understand it. Which apparently I don't.
21) Not understanding football is putting a damper in my newly begun career as a Football Mom. Who knew that
Right Tackle was an actual job description?
Good night, everyone...:)
At first it was Lulu, then LC and Dreamecho. Haaaaa…I could only heave a sigh at that time, trancing to have one of those killler TRIPP studded boots they have but at the same time take in that the shoe price plus shipping cost was just too much for a pair of shoes that may not be that wearable. But the fairy shoe seemed to understand how deep my love (and lust) is for them, and led me to Ebay, the one and only source to the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite…oh wait, that’s Gossip Girl…;p
PS: You can save your advice this time, Sharjeel...this one's on my dad hehehhe...;p
