A few little things

My legs are so itchy I don't even know what to do. Look at them!




The mosquito bites this summer have been the worst, worst thing that has ever happened to me in the annals of bugbite history. Only at my parents. Only in the evening. I get eaten alive and soon there will be no more of me to eat!

On the other hand, I look super cute at work today:



Other things you should know:

--[livejournal.com profile] hogwarts_elite is back in full swing and YOU SHOULD ALL APPLY. Yes, I am talking to you. And you, and especially YOU. It is more active than it has been in years! So much fun.

--I am taking classes at Amor Y Amargo. WHO HAS TWO THUMBS AND IS GOING TO MAKE HER OWN BITTERS? THIS LADY.

--I made a public playlist on Spotify if you are using it. It's here. There are only five songs in it, but here's what I'm doing: every time I catch myself humming or singing a song to myself repeatedly, it goes in the public playlist. This isn't necessarily a playlist of my favorite songs, and I am sure at some point I am going to get something I hate stuck in my head and it will end up in there too, but a list of the songs that are on my brain. So right now, you can go listen to about 23 minutes of what is on my brain. I'll keep updating it.

I have so many photos and recipes to post, you have no idea. SO MANY. To both blogs.

Thanks! I look fantastic other than my legs, which look like I fell onto a nest of angry mosquitoes.

Witch hazel!

Hydrocortisone cream is good while out and about. When you're home, a colloidal oatmeal bath is great stuff. Put oatmeal in a blender, food processor, or similar, and grind into a fine powder. I think I used a cup of powder per bath.

Benadryl for the bites!

I don't know what's cooler, the look on your face or that groovy necklace. It's a tie!

You can just smash it with a rolling pin or a mortar and pestle, which I personally find more satisfying. ;-)

You look mahvelous, dahling. That dress is absolutely the right shape for you, and the pattern is nifty.

OMG Kat do you remember two years ago when I was asking for fashion tips because I was UTTERLY CLUELESS? Do you see how far I have come?!

I AM SO PROUD OF ME.

I love witch hazel! I was using that at home but not at work!

Hahaha I guess this means cleaning my bathtub right?! <3 TY!

You are an awesome June Cleaver/Gloria Steinem mashup. :)

By the way, as far as I'm concerned, telling someone they've got some Gloria Steinem in them is a high compliment. I saw her on Colbert the other night and she was amazing. Easily able to laugh at herself AND get her points across.

And June Cleaver - I mean, I'm 52. Leave it to Beaver was a necessary part of my childhood. :)

Pearls!!! So classy :D

ALSO. I tried poaching an egg the other week and it was lush :D I've had about four since and each time I think of you XD

[identity profile] i-smell-apples.livejournal.com 2011-08-17 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
The pearls? Indeedy yes!
And the eggs too! :P So easy and quick and then just so yummy :D I think that has to be tomorrow's dinner sorted as well, I feel a craving coming on..
