Living without the luxury of laundry facilities on premises is an acquired taste and I am not a fan. Nope, not a fan of the lifestyle, but hey - my rent is cheap, so I can deal. I finally did some laundry yesterday after letting it pile up for about a month and I can safely say, I've got the process down.
1. Separate (whites, lights, darks, dry clean) before leaving for laundromat.
2. Get cash for change machines.
3. Drop off laundry at laundromat.
4. Run errands to Target, Trader Joe's, etc.
5. Change laundry from washer to dryer, removing all items that must not be dried.
6. Drop off groceries at home and hang up wet clothes removed from washers.
7. Pick up laundry at laundromat, folding before departure.
8. Return home for another month of letting laundry pile up.
I seriously HATE doing laundry, even more than doing dishes. But after the process I must always go through to obtain fresh sheets, I feel a sense of satisfaction, like I actually accomplished something for the day and it motives me to be productive for the rest of it.
Yesterday, after returning home from laundry fun, I set a bag filled with detergent, softener, bleach and wet clothes on my bed while I started putting away clean, dry clothes. The smell of chlorine had followed me inside the house and I was confused as to where it was coming from, until I realized I had bleach ... in a bag ... on my bed.
Oh, bleach. You do so much good, yet cause so much destruction. RIP beige duvet, blue corduroy jacket, new dress only worn once and blue sweatshirt I love so much. You will be missed.
Needless to say, I was not very productive after this.

The Romance
Said the pelican to the elephant,
I think we should marry, I do.
Cause there's no name that rhymes with me,
and no one else that rhymes with you.
Said the elephant to the pelican,
there's no sense to what you've said,
for rhymings as good a reason as any
for any two to wed.
And so the elephant wed the pelican,
and they dined upon lemons and limes,
and now they have a baby pelicant,
and everybody rhymes.

Simple and to the point. I love this take on romance.

Good Morning, I'm Naked!
Via The San Diego Union Tribune — A Pacific Beach man had a surprise waiting for him in his living room Sunday morning: a stranger sleeping naked on his couch.
The naked man had mistakenly arrived at the condominium after a night of drinking, inexplicably took off his clothes on the porch and entered the unlocked front door, San Diego Police Lt. Jim Filley said.
After discovering the disrobed interloper around 7:30 a.m., the homeowner went back upstairs to his bedroom, armed himself and told his wife to call 911, Filley said.
“This gentleman thought he had been walking into his own home, which is in Mission Valley” nearly 20 miles away, the officer said. “We think it was an honest mistake.”
The homeowner declined to press trespassing charges against the intruder.
“He was sober, so he got dressed and went on his way,” Filley said.
Ew! Scary!

Amazing!
I have had a long term love affair with the movie Labyrinth for as long as I can remember. It was my favorite movie when I was 8 and it's my favorite movie now. This girl, however, loves it even more than me! Look at this work of art!
And if you don't like it, screw you! Go away and rot in the Bog of Eternal Stench for all I care.

Look at this thing.
What is it doing? It's really cute and really creepy, but I don't know which category holds the majority. I can't stop looking at it. Help!

You Were Always On My Mind
So, I haven't spoken to my parents in almost a year. It's a strange thing to not have contact with your immediate family. The weirdest part is that I feel mostly stagnant about the situation ... now.
I've been so hurt by my family over this time, I wouldn't even know how to have a relationship with them if they even tried to contact me now. Still, Mother's Day was an emotional day for me. I don't know why I thought I would hear from a mother who missed her daughter, when mine obviously does not.
I was disappointed from the lack of communication I didn't expect. I feel like an idiot. I like feeling stagnant better.
