I will have a ton of essays turned in this weekend and need to turn to grading mode soon, so I did all the household stuff today-- watering my zillion plants and cleaning all three floors. I also did the laundry that had accumulated for over 6-8 weeks. I have decades of clothes in my closet but I know my clothes will continue to last me longer if they get cleaned and put away. (I'm trying to talk myself into doing it. I don't like doing laundry although I try to entice myself by scenting everything with lavender essential oil and watching old shows as I fold and put everything away.) Also, and this is new for me, I hand-sawed a pile of kindling to use in the firepit come fall.
Pic: Nu headed out to homecoming--they spent a lot of time putting their outfit together and I love the detail down to the socks. I have to say, Nu is the cheapest thriftiest teen I know. I remember having to rush to department stores every time At went to an HS social. Nu did not want to shop for the event and sourced everything from their closet and At's old closet. At was homecoming royalty, so Nu had some good material to swipe.

What a joyful smile Nu has! And that is a great look they put together. My kids are big on statement socks, too. I can't resist adding to their collections.
Nice
Nu looks great! I don't really understand the homecoming thing - it's not a Canadian tradition - but it sounds very fun.
I'm a little flummoxed though as a person who does laundry almost every day! How much you must have if you do it so infrequently! That sounds overwhelming.
I love it! There’s an ‘80s new wave vibe to their ensemble.😍
I wish my daughter and Nu went to the same school! I think they would like each other.
Thank you, Nance! Socks *are* such fun gifts!
Thanks!
Nicole--you and me both! At was HOCO royalty and has never forgiven me for not getting what a BFD it was. I may have said, (like a true immigrant mom) "Well, is it like being a Valedictorian?" (Facepalm!)
Let's just say my closet is not at all minimalist. I've stopped buying stuff, and I've given away tons, but I still have SO MUCH. It doesn't help that clothes are my mom's love language. I do crave variety and hate laundry though, so it all works out.
Thank you, Claire! Now that you've articulated it, I'm beginning to read it that way too!
Jenny!! That's exactly what I was thinking when you mentioned the septum piercing earlier this week...
They look very happy (and dapper). I hope they had a good time at the dance.
Wow, you must have a lot of clothes. Our schedule is twice weekly here, though I think when it's just the two of us, I think could get away with once a week if I bought a few more staples.
Nu looks so happy! Yay for them!
If I didn't do laundry for 6-8 weeks, I would be naked. As a matter of fact, things get dire when I have to go longer than ten days. LOL.
Thanks, Steph. I think they did have a good enough time. I do have a lot of clothes although I stopped buying myself any a while ago. I did get myself more "staples" (ahem) so I could procrastinate on laundry!
Engie, I wish I lived a neatly edited life!
