I haven't ever heard it either, so you're not alone.<br /><br />Anon, it seems to me that you'd probably be able to do it if you were motivated enough. If, for instance, a wicked witch was coming home at six pm and would kill you if the kitchen weren't mopped, you'd surely find the willpower! But maybe those things are just a low priority, and that's okay. I mean, that woman with the spotless house and amazing legs probably struggles with crippling self-doubt and that's what drives her to be perfect in all the outward ways. I'm happier being lazy, messy, squishy me.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10853868724554947854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464977109229359349.post-70534997624668324532016-02-02T20:01:52.247-05:002016-02-02T20:01:52.247-05:00Mop the kitchen, vacuum the staircase, really clea...Mop the kitchen, vacuum the staircase, really clean the countertops instead of running a rag over them as company walks through the door... I could go on and on. Lose that last 10 pounds. Say no to a 2nd glass of wine, a 2nd cup of coffee, a 2nd scoop of ice cream.<br />What's stopping me? Plain old fashioned self-discipline.<br />There is always that woman out there who makes the rest of us feel awful. Her house is spotless, she's got the legs of a ballerina, and she never complains about anything. I want to be her.

I really want to listen to that new musica...+JMJ+ <br /><br />I really want to listen to that new musical <i>Hamilton</i>. I'm not listening to that new musical <i>Hamilton</i> because I'm upset that I haven't already memorised it. I have fantasies of friends tying me to a chair, putting it on perpetual loop, and leaving me alone in a room for twenty-four hours, because that is the only way I can envision myself ever listening to that new musical <i>Hamilton</i>. <br /><br />Incidentally, this is also the reason I have never studied a certain language that I've since learned to refer to as "broken Italian" or "the barbaric version of Portuguese." I may go to my grave like this. Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.com
