JZ, I totally agree. I have a pile of hemming, resewing buttons, reattaching snaps etc that needs to be finished and no time.

If ever I could wish for a superpower, I'd wish for the ability to stop time for everyone but me. So, I could stop time and take a nap while everyone else was frozen. Or read a book. Or take an uninterrupted shower. Or move Antonin Scalia into scandalous situations where he would be forced off the Supreme Court. Or, you know, more time to finish ANYTHING.

So you bought multiples of shoe styles that fit and are comfortable ... this is a problem because?

Yeah, I see no problem with that.

Actually, what I REALLY want is to organize a stitch'n'bitch -- I have a bunch of stuff that's easily mendable and partly done projects that would be time-consuming but ridiculously not difficult, but it's just so frickin' hard to get a chunk of uninterrupted time to plow through it all. I don't want to throw it out, I just want time!

There is a reason I always am doing some sort of sewing while watching TV or movies. It's the only way I can get the stuff done!

Now tagless for your comfort.

We did drive down 2 along the lake front. Gorgeous, sunny day. It was actually a nice drive. Then we got into Shawano County in Wisconsin and got slowed down.

We've decided that the drive up along the UP is a better way to get to Northern Michigan than taking the car ferry across the lake. The ferry was ok, once. But for the cost, it doesn't save a lot of money or stress.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Cash - next summer we should plan a Miraclemere/Cashborn UP trip. The kids are at an age that I think they would LOVE Fayette State Park or the Porcupine Mountains.

Now tagless for your comfort.

DH was talking about that. Ours will definitely be old enough for a fun trip next year.

In Bellaire, they dug their own nightcrawlers, fished off the dock, played with the worms, caught two toads, watched a garter snake and went canoeing and swimming.

Lots of fun!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Or you could send the kids off to UP and the adults to Vegas...

Compassionately intolerant

So you bought multiples of shoe styles that fit and are comfortable ... this is a problem because?

I believe the disapproval came because I wasn't buying fuschia heels or being 'more creative' with my shoe wardrobe.

A girlfriend once nominated me for 'What Not to Wear' (I'm not even half as bad as all that) with an exasperated, "She doesn't know a THING about shoes!"

I just assumed that meant I should turn in my 'girl' card.

I've learned to be okay with the lack of that particular skill. I just wish I enjoyed them as much as other people do. For instance, I love Glamcookie's shoe pics. It just seems like so much fun.

Then again, some people like roller coasters and I'm TOTALLY okay without that little pleasure.

Finally, a bumper sticker for me! [link] (The blue one. I mean, I like the other 2, but I may just have to buy the blue one.)
