My not-so-beautiful laundrette

I'm looking for some help about laundry detergent. I, apparently, have toxic sweat. It stains, it stinks, it clings like some sort of marsupial. I've found that I can conquer the pee-yew by washing things twice or with a pre-wash of Shout. Is this too much information about me yet? I'd like to find a detergent that would do the whole job in one washing by itself. Anyone have any ideas? Right now I'm using ALL, the version in the white jug.

Thanks!

Changes in Latitude

Can you hear me sighing from where you are? I'm feeling SO much better here in Florida. It took me a couple of days, but I'm finally over my depression, I'm relaxing and not thinking, nonstop, about stuff I really can't control anyway. It's warm and sunny, the breeze sounds very different through palm trees than it does through the pines at home, and the beaches here are actually fun places to be. I've always, as a New Englander, felt cheated by our beaches. Grey, slimy, COLD places they are. Here, the sand is white, the water doesn't send you into cardiac arrest at first contact, and there is a variety of shells unlike any I've ever seen. Our greatest challenge is trying to maintain a certain complexion. White is good, red is BAD. So far, so good.....

I did it!

Ladies,

I quit my job.

YAY!

The free feeling is just setting in and I'm having a little too much fun telling everyone that I'm going. It's like a prison release date. Mark the date, February 25 is my last day.

For those of you wondering what the hell is wrong with me, like my mother is, I've got another support job that I'll start on March 7. It's 4 days a week from 9 to 5. A reduction of 10.5 hours over the course of the week and it frees up a week day for me to both market and perform my Shakespeare.

So relieved I can't even express it fully.

The Only Good Thing About February....

...is that we leave for vacation right in the middle of it. The middle of January through the middle of March have historically been difficult for me, but this year I've been particularly pathetic. The other day, for example, I wept in my car because, for the first time in recent memory, the sun coming through my window felt warm. I SO need this vacation.

Welcome!

Welcome Girlfriends!

I know this seems odd to some of you but I think it could be fun.

I'm hoping it will be an easier way for us all to keep in touch and keep each other updated on the events of our days. Nice place to put birthday wishes too.

If you're still wondering what the hell this is all about you can check out my personal blog at www.117Hudson.blogspot.com well, or the many millions of other examples all over the internet.

Hope to see your words here soon!
