I realized the other day that against my better judgment, I've become fashionable.

Of Washing Machines and Wellington's Overture

"Do you smell something burning?" I felt my nose crinkle.
"Yeah. I do." My husband got up and searched the house. "I think I see smoke."
All I could think about was the piano. My baby.
Then it occurred to me. For the past few months, the washing machine's sounded like a jet taking off. I've been waiting for this day.
Or waiting for the day when I'd discover a missing washer, a hole in my roof, and reports of UFOs.
Sure enough. The laundry room smelled of burnt rubber.
A Very, Very, Very Fine House

This past weekend I learned that my husband’s packrat tendencies come from his father, who gets it from his father. It’s a stagnant gene pool collecting everything.
Scared me to death.
Confession: I used to be a packrat. I thought everything had sentimental value and was worthy of putting away. No longer. Now I want to throw away everything except for leftovers in the fridge.
Chris: But I might need that someday.
Not if you don’t even remember that you have it because it’s in a pile with three million other unknown objects.

about me
It is important that you know that my middle name is Anne (spelled with an "e"). It is my mother's middle name and my grandmother's middle name. It is the name of my favorite character, Anne of Green Gables. I want to be Anne of Green Gables, red hair and all. When not blogging, I love twirling and dancing to my favorite music on our smooth concrete floor.
