    How nice of you. You'll have to take a number though, hunny. Currently that position is magnanimously filled. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    I miss RL! Ave Maria is now moving in its first residents & businesses. Wanted to move up this thread b/c it has truly been a hilarious read. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    I definitely do not hold on to anything I have no use for. I can't stand clutter. And I have little to no emotional attachment to most things. It's VERY easy for me to donate or toss it. Just the other day, I noticed we had two shelves full of video tapes. What the hell am I going to do with those? I loaded them in a bag and dropped them off at Goodwill.

    Auf Wiedersehen. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    I don't yet again... But when I do, one day BZ will come home to find me in a sexy lady-tux and I will proclaim, "I'm ready now" and whip out some "Flight of the Bumble Bee". Which is not so sexy unless you're WAY into it, and of course wearing the special outfit. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Just when you captured my interest, all points must be utterly destroyed. I did enjoy The Village--would have rated it 3/5 Netflix stars. Certainly not 5. And to think I put a couple of your "must sees" in my queue. I'm so disappointed. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    That's what's so vexing about it, isn't it? I know EXACTLY what you mean. It makes NO sense I don't learn Spanish. No sense. I will take the time to research things that are of no importance to me whatsoever only b/c I'm amused at those debating it with such emotion (when it seems so inane to me). But, I won't learn Spanish??? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Oooo, pretty.

    The Village was an OK movie. I remember the line. It wasn't on your "must see" Netflix list, though. Neither would it be on mine. I love that you have a repertoire, though. Reminds me of Finch in American Pie. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    You've mentioned that before and I made a mental note.

    I ordinarily don't care at all about making a fool of myself (which you already know.). But in this case--at the risk of tooting my own horn--I'm "supposedly" really good... But, I haven't touched a key in 12 years. But, enough about that already. I will buy a piano soon. New house first. Piano next. If I buy one, I'm going all out. Big daddy grand, baby!

    But, you said Mandarin Chinese. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Can you believe Billy has never heard me play??? He's heard the stories, seen the awards, blah, blah, blah. I know he really wants me to play for him, but after all that hype??? It's a major deterrent. One day I'll surprise him when he's long since given up. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    The "borrowed" Rosetta Stone CDs. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    You know, I'm happy you said that... We all do some things and not others even if we think we want to do them so considerably. As a sidenote: Music was a natural thing for me. I began piano at 4, only b/c my father said I should learn that before drums (which is what I really wanted to play ). While I hated it at times, it was a very natural ability. And I never hated music. I HAD to be in EVERYTHING--O.R.F. ensemble, recorder (think elementary school), chorus, music appreciation, etc. But you know, I wanted to burn my piano at age 14. Instead, I just quit. And now at 26--for the first time since--I've had the urge to play again. But you're right about the "later in life". Everyone seems to think I'll pick it up instantly and play like I did before. I haven't yet bought a piano b/c...well...I don't feel like I remember. It's almost as if I blocked it out entirely Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    I don't really take much too seriously. It's typically only after a drink or two I read something in SC and start rambling to myself and my fingers follow. I played concert classical piano for quite some time. My fingers are used to keeping up with my brain--sometimes quite unfortunately. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Not the big things, but the "I've always wanted to learn/do that but never get around to it..." If you could snap your fingers and instantly learn/do one thing, what would it be? I was just thinking it'd be nice if I could snap my fingers and be able to write & speak Spanish fluently. It makes no sense I don't already. I mean, I like to learn. It would be useful in both my position and location (not to be confused with one another). And I certainly love rolling my tongue. I do it all the time, just for fun. Yet, Spanish One CD (of nine I bought in a pack) still sits in my CD player. For some reason I'm always just a little bit more in the mood for some classic rock. So, that would be my one thing, I think. Y, tu? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    If you REALLY love Posh and Becks, please DO check out the latest issue of W magazine. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    I do that all the time. I quit when I'm no longer amused at the ridiculousness, but am saddened by it. Of course, sometimes I'll check back in hopes of once again being amused. If saddened once more, I tend to then move on toward annoyed--this usually happens after my first or mid-way through my second glass of wine. It is during this time I'll post something I later read and get annoyed at myself b/c I could have been MUCH clearer and concise in making my point. I, like you, need to learn to quit after the first . Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Perhaps. But, on the other hand I'm constantly moving things Billy has placed randomly in the middle of the kitchen counter--right where he knows where they are. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Would such a society have ample cocktail umbrellas? I've noticed a severe shortage in my local bar's supply. If the government could step in and encourage cute-paper-umbrella production, I'd support that.

    We have one laundry basket and one empty rack above it. The rack is for clothes than can be worn again, but should be washed if doing a load. I separate my loads come laundry day--no need to have a separate basket for that. You never know when you'll have more of one thing than another and have to deviate from the traditional plan.

    For starters, you must gradually switch to wooden hangers and space your clothes at least one-inch apart. This will help them last longer. I group shirts together, pants, jackets, etc. But, then each are organized by "work only" then "both work or play" then "play only" for each category. I don't organize like colors, though. But, I won't keep a red shirt next to a green--looks like Christmas. Jeans & casual shorts I keep folded on my open-shelves so I can still see them all at once when deciding which pair my amazing bootie shall grace. Shoes are typically organized right shoe forward, left shoe backward so I can see both the front and back of the shoe when browsing. It will take you some time. But once organized, it's super-easy to keep that way. I am faster at getting ready than any of my "no maintenance" friends. I never stand forever wondering what to wear and/or trying on a billion things, nor looking for things. I can be ready in two seconds for anything.
