Lay Flat to Dry

Who came up with "lay flat to dry"?  What kind of Martha-Stewart-Living freak imagines we all live in gigantic, airy houses with marble-clad bathrooms upon which we lay our $15 sweaters and $25 dresses flat to dry after hand-washing them in dedicated hand-wash basins, clearly with only the finest detergent Wal Mart has to offer?

I have a dress - a long dress - that's "lay flat to dry".  Right now it's hanging over the balustrade to my loft, approximately one-third of it on the roughly hewn wood, and the rest hanging off.  Sorry, label.  I just don't dry my dresses on my dining room table.

Out of Touch

I feel silly for asking, but how do all these women - who quit jobs as kindergarten teachers to become famous on Instagram for their bodacious rear ends - MAKE this money?  Can you monetize an Instagram?  It simply doesn't make sense to me - I've been blogging for years and I have earned $11 so far.  You think I'm joking!

If I were gorgeous and skinny, I'd so consider it though.  To be a millionaire just by taking selfies of my bum...it's tempting.

Does that make me a bad person?  Nah.  Just a broke, desperate grad student.

Cheat day

Spending today with football, novels, and cooking.  I have to snatch these days from life otherwise I'll go completely insane.  I need to be good and edit photos as well, but I'll do that while I'm watching Masterpiece tonight.

Two words: salmon cakes.
