Not a Desperate Housewife Here
Sometimes I am a crap housewife and I don’t clean for a few days in a row and the kitchen gets messy which sucks because I don’t do the cooking so then we end up eating out because I have guilt and don’t want Adam in there if I’ve been neglecting my job. This is the only job I’ve ever had that I don’t have to worry about getting fired from and sometimes I think I may take it for granted a little BUT I make up for it in other ways I promise I do. I did take a good number of beer bottles out to the alley for the homeless yesterday that were taking up too much counter space and there was already a dude out there about to leave so I said “HEY do you want these?” He did. I used to always take all my stuff to the Salvation Army. Not empties but old shit I didn’t use, old clothes, basically the regular crap you give. I hate it when I get rid of stuff and then want it back, I do that a lot. But now I give everything to the alley. It isn’t to be lazy either. Why have someone selling it when there are people in my alley who need it NOW and I don’t need it.
I did something HUGE. It actually cut into my dishes/cleaning time because I had to drop it off. I lent a hard cover book without the cover to a friend that I JUST got in the mail and I have not read. It is a girly book, Shopaholic and Baby, a great fluff summer beach book. I opened it, the fresh new sound a hard cover makes when you open it creeped out from the bind and the smell of untouched pages filled my nostrils. Heaven. This is a big step in trust for me. I do not like lending books. Really I don’ t like lending anything. I have to like you more than a little. It made sense for me though because it arrived when I had JUST started Fall on Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald and it is almost 600 pages long.
Also, while I’m just spewing out random shit which I guess is what I normally do here ?? Hmmm. I wanted to let you know that we finally watched Snakes on a Plane. Some of you know that snakes are the animal that scares me the very mostest of all things that scare me on earth. But yet crocodiles and alligators are my favorite animal. I don’t try to make sense of it either. Snakes on a Plane ruled. It had insanely bad dialogue, bad acting, a ridiculous plot, one snake that was so big there was NO WAY they could have even gotten it on the plane and as IF it fit in that bin that the rest of the snakes came from. I screamed out loud a couple of times. SPOILER: There is one part where a snake bites this chicks tit, right on her nipple, only thing that could have made it better is if her implant exploded.
I gotta go do dishes because eating MacDonald’s makes you fat.
Eight days till I’m 30.

I am like that with lending books too. I hate it.
I know you like Chuck Palahniuk, have you read Haunted cus I started it the other day and it almost made me puke. When I heard that people has been fainting during book readings I thought it was crazy cus I have read so many of his other books and was never too affected. Seriously I almost threw up and so now I am all freaked out by this book and just to add to it last night was the first night I left it in my room and the cover frickin’ glows in the dark and now I am freaked out even more.

i have it, it was given to me by Terra in fact but i have not read it yet. now im scared. his new one is supposed to be about a serial killer too.

okay, so
1) haunted did not really freak me out. i actually considered it a crappy “must adhere to publishing contract” type of book. i mean, its good, but it’s no choke.
2) i was just trying to remember this morning what book i’d been planning on buying at book warehouse, and i couldn’t - it’s the new CP one. THANKS, all!
3) i am half done shopaholic. thank god for silent treatments.

Rilah, that one “Guts” story didn’t get to you? I felt sick the whole day after reading it and I am not usually like that!

I often let the house get messy and neglect my cleaning duties but I do all the cooking so fuck it. Don’t beat yourself up Corinna. Just clean when you can. It’s not that big a deal and hey, it’s not like that’s a deal breaker with Adam. I mean, you all have lived together for some time. I’m sure this isn’t coming as a huge, dissapointing surprise to him. It’s all good I’m sure. If not just hug it out bitches.
And HUGE step on lending the book. I love your description of opening up a new hardcover. YUM!

jacki - i’ve read some pretty disturbing gore…ever chanced upon poppy z. brite? vampire gay erotica, usually, but there’s one book…basically about necrophilia and serial killers (for the point of n.philia). that kinda wigged me out. it takes a lot, in fairytale land. not so much in real ife.

It’s great that you give your unwanted stuff to the people in the alley. Sad that there are people in your alley that need it. Are there a lot of homeless people in your city? I think it’s good to get rid of stuff we don’t need. Such a waste to just store things and not really use them. Geezer and I are going to see if we can volunteer our time with the Salvation Army. My mum was telling me that a single mother of one of the kids from her class has someone come in from the salvos who does some cleaning and cooks dinner for a couple of hours twice a week so that she can spend time with her child who is epileptic and autistic, and I’d like to do something like that.
It’s amazing you’ve lent someone one of your hardcover books. And a brand new one! You must love Terra a lot

Maja: yes we have a large homeless problem here. the climate has a lot to do with it. the government does nothing but make it worse for them.

Hey I just did the same thing with one of my books. I just got A thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini - you know the dude who wrote Kite Runner. And I lent it out!! yah kinda a little nervous about the whole thing but I have faith people will return it due to the size of my husband. He could kick some a-s-s if he had too:) Joking, I have faith they will return it because I will stalk them until they do. Way to make a major trust connection, she must be a good friend.
Take care
PS I still have 5 1/2 months to go until that special day

Giving things directly to the people who need it. What a novel idea!
I too loved Snakes on a Plane. I’m a bad horror movie junkie, and there are too few modern day creature features. -grin-
There’s also a “Snakes on a Train” (no relation to the former)

Three points to make:
1. Great on you for giving directly to your local homeless folks. As you said, they need it NOW.
2. Great on you for loaning your book out like that. It says a lot about your relationship with Terra
3. Fall On Your Knees is a FANTASTIC book. I absolutely adored it and so have many of my UK friends. I would love to hear what you think of it when you are through.
Thats it!

Hello Everyone,
I am a golfer myself and I like to play whenever I get a chance.
A short while ago, a very good friend of mine told me about a great golfing equipment and accessories website that has discounted prices on all their products, same day shipping in most cases and there is no state sales tax, they are paying that.
So if any golfer here is ready to save some money on quality products at highly discounted prices, you might want to check out their site at; http://hoffmangolf.com
