On Quirks: Is Their Ignorance Our Bliss?

When barefooted, I walk on my toes. Apparently this is something little kids often do, so maybe I just never outgrew it? I never realized I did this until a roommate's friend watched me walk into the kitchen and said, "Aw, that's so cute how you walk on your toes!" And I was like, "Whaaa?" Now I'm aware of it, but I still can't help it.

@LornaLoo I rub my feet together too! I'm glad I'm not the only one!

On Author Leigh Stein on Her First Novel, The Fallback Plan

Oh man...I used to be LiveJournal friends with Leigh back when LiveJournal was still a Thing. I'm so glad to see she's becoming a successful writer! I always enjoyed her entries!

On Things to Do in the Winter

Something about the music made me think of Mister Rogers. And that made me happy.

On The Secret Lives of Shoppers

@celacia Okay, seriously, I thought I was imagining things when it comes to Febreeze. B/c back in college, I used it to get the stank of stale cigarette smoke out of my non-machine-washable items (too poor for dry cleaning) and I thought my clothes smelled, you know, passably clean. A year or so ago, I bought some Febreeze to take with me on trips (I'm a flight attendant) to spritz my uniform blazer to keep it fresh-seeming and was horribly grossed-out by the smell. It's like the smell of the Febreeze compounded with the people smell lingering in the collar of my jacket. Gross gross gross. I've found that spritzing a bit of my perfume is a waaaay better bet than relying on Febreeze. Febreeze be nasty, y'all.

On Happy Day After Valentine's Day

@New Hoarder Oh man, I think I was about 10 too when I checked that book out from the public library! It seemed like a fairy tale to me!

On Friday Bargain Bin: Be Your Own Valentine

@ghechr I need to get over being too cheap to go to the tailor, for real.

On Friday Bargain Bin: Be Your Own Valentine

@Katie Scarlett Oh god, you guys...that thought didn't even occur to me until y'all brought it up and now I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD!

On Friday Bargain Bin: Be Your Own Valentine

@The Everpresent Wordsnatcher Okay, so I am tall-ish (5'8"), but I too have a tiny torso and petite shoulders. AND I have fleshy hips, so either skirts dig into my chubs or they go up OVER the chubs and then I'm flashing my bits and that is never a good look. Oh, and if I try to purchase things to sit on my hips without digging into my chubs, then they are so big they fall down. I had this issue with underpants-under-skirts for a while.

On Friday Bargain Bin: Be Your Own Valentine

@alphabiddycity Girlfriend, don't sweat. I do actually HAVE some sexy underthings, but I never actually wear them and instead wear the same two non-sexy bras I own...the same exact style, one in nude, one in black. But not at the same time. Because that would be weird. Have fun buying sexy things!
