I have to make a haircut appointment ASAP. I haven't had my hair cut since Halloween, and it's finally gotten to that "waaaay too long" stage.

In our old house, one of the showers was just up against an exterior wall (with a window!!) so there were just two shower curtains, one hanging in the normal spot, and one against the opposite wall.

My last two apartments had this, but luckily, the tub was big enough that I didn't have suckage on my body issues. At my last apartment, the window was boarded up, but it overlooked the back stairway leading up from the alley. Very strange layout to that apartment.

I much prefer my more modern current apartment, with an interior bathroom with a lot more square footage than all of my other apartments' bathrooms had.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Our last place had the sticky shower curtain issue. DH is tall and burly and it while the curtain annoyed me, it drove him batshit. After going the magnets route, we got a teflonized fabric one at Target and that actually helped. It draped better and was less interested in glomming onto us. Now we have a separate shower and tub, which totally RULES.

I just realized I have yet to use the jacuzzi tub in the new apartment. Maybe if I'm feeling indulgent and pamper-able tonight.

And you need sweaters, because Chicago is crazy cold.

Yes. Because I just went outside, and that was painful. I'm hoping that it gets above freezing next week so I don't have to go to my concerts wearing a parka and mukluks.

It's supposed to warm up this weekend, getting up to 35 or so by next Tuesday. Tonight will be bitter cold though, so wrap up!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I got a tour of Tim's remodeled place (well, basically rebuilt from ground up to a third story).

There's a sunken jacuzzi with....wait for it...a fireplace in front of it.

Don't get me started on the underground bunker. No, I'm not kidding. There's a bunker.

I think I could move in and he wouldn't notice I was there for like, months.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Jacuzzi + fireplace? I... guess that's like putting a space heater in front of your bathtub, right? Except fireplaces can't electrocute you.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

A significant other is just gratuitous at that point.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Allyson, is there a TV? Fridge? Because I might never leave.
