more method madness

you know there’s something not quite right about you when, you get excited about the fact that your favorite maker of cleaning agents has introduced laundry detergent. even sister #4 who loves me unconditionally couldn’t resist making fun of me. i’m a sad, sad creature.

I saw this at Target today and got entirely too excited, so it’s not just you.

clearly you have very fine taste in cleaning products. i refrained from buy the laundry soap, because i have a big ol’ box of tide to use up. i did, however, have to buy the GREEN GREEN GREEN bathroom cleanser. i will have to take a picture of the top of my refrigerator for you.

I didn’t buy the laundry detergent either. Considering we do approximately 248 loads of laundry a week since the kiddo arrived, it seemed a bit frivilous.

Truthfully, I think I’m so drawn to Method because I like the bottles. I’m such a whore for good marketing.

Things I Want to Tell You

Interview #2 at place I would enjoy working at went really well. I'm pretty pumped. [+]

Can I get an AMEN! This woman responds to the Jezebel Hullabaloo the way I wish I could have, had I not been blacking out with the rage. I agree that drinking a lot and having a lot of sex with different men is not feminism. It might be your lifestyle choice and a lot of fun -- go you, but it has nothing at all to do with being a feminist. I think once I simmer down a bit, I will chalk up the whole Hullabaloo to a few drunk 20something girls being stupid and naive, because, that's what 20something girls do. We've all done it, and not to get all sage woman of the earth, but something changes for women when they turn 30. I don't know what it is, I cannot define it, but other woman will agree 30 is a magical age where suddenly you seem more yourself, you think before you speak, you look back at your 20something self and realize what an idiot you were, but you still love that girl. I'm just hoping these Jezebel-girls will be so kind to their 20something selves when they look back at how absolutely foolish they were. {via fimoculous, whose comments are all men discussing the issue which makes me a little sad}. [+]

I had avoided the whole Jezebel hullabaloo until this morning when I was reading Mediation's thoughts on the nonsense. I followed his links to the Metafilter discussion and it was after watching the video there that I blacked out from sheer rage. I'm so angry I can't even write anything coherent. [+]

I just applied for a for reals job for the first time since 2000 (three fors in one sentence, go me). I feel a little like I'm going to barf. I forgot how nerve-wracking it is to want something like this. [+]

"Never mind that while he was on my ass about being in lust with a celebrity who lives in France and has two children with a French model, Greg was in love with a girl from, you know, like, down the street." Peabo cracks me up. [+]

I am celebrating my independence by sitting around in my pajamas until noon. [+]
