What the cornstarch does is it binds to the oils and dirt inside the mat and lets you work the hairs loose of it all. You can just dump some on a mat and work it in, and it will break things up. You probably don't want to do this while wearing good clothes or near furniture that you want to remain clean and un-white-spotted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Like dry shampoo, or the timeless classic of using cornstarch as a cheap dry shampoo.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
How do you get the cornstarch out of the hair/fur afterwards?

It's a rare thing to have nieces who think you are a good travel companion.
Pretty much, yeah. I think it'll be great fun, although I intend to skip out on the clubbing they will likely be doing.

oh man! My DirecTV box died! TRAGIC! I lost all the things I've recorded and have been saving to watch when Bob is out of town. Like, last week's Project Runway All Stars! Does anyone know if that's available online anywhere?
(I'm pretty sure I'll be able to watch tonight's Downton Abbey at pbs.org, at least.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Our homework rule is no tv, no games, no toys, nothing until the homework is done and it starts the instant you get home from school. That ways it's done and out of the way. Em's is split up over a couple of days, but we get each day's done right after school. It's helped tremendously with the dawdling and fights on Sunday.
The best thing EVER for Emmett was having an aftercare program where everybody did homework, together, for 45 minutes before play time. Really got him in the habit. School was out at 3 and homework was done before 4.

Art Crawl!!!
lisah - its online at the lifetime website.
The cornmean cat fur thing is interesting. Also, my friend's extra fluffy cat gets a clip (you know - lion clip) about once every six months and she's a much happier beastie for it.
My Sunday: lazed around, wound some yarn, did some knitting, and then went to knitting group where I knitted some more.
