Doing this! Today!

20 minutes is not a long time. Marathon cleaning sessions, while satisfying, are exhausting and make you never want to clean ever again. 20 minutes at a time, once or a few times a day, is a sustainable way of keeping your habitat unfucked.

The Divyn Lair: The Unemployment Story →
Been there. Done that. Best thing to ever happen to me. I look at money entirely different now.

Nobody ever says, “Well, if gay people don’t want to be called ‘faggots’, then they shouldn’t use the word ‘faggot’”. No one ever says, “well, if Latinos don’t want to be called ‘wetbacks’ then they shouldn’t use the word, ‘wetback’”. It is always, always…
this is why i love this person.

Complaining.
Justifying.
Wallowing.
Groaning.
Bargaining.
Procrastinating.
Promising.
Failing.
Wishing.
And do the fucking work already.
Xoxoxo.

I thought this web series was an awesome mix of compelling quality content at a cost-effective rate that integrates a brand seamlessly….until I realized these so-called smart women were wasting a gang of paper by ePrinting all these snapshots on their HP printers. Then they all just seemed wack, like why are you killing trees and such by printing out several random (but useful) snapshots you...
