gfrancieMeet Miss Gennie.
Sure she may have had a day filled with people who lacked tact, manners or even common sense, but she doesn't let it get her down.
After a nice relaxing period of perusing her email, lying on the sofa and reading the New Yorker she felt it was time to be productive.
In a short period of time she did four loads of laundry (all folded and put away) made piroshkis, a loaf of bread, did a brisk 30 minute session of pilates and marinated some pork chops.
Oh yeah, and her hair looks good too.
The question is asked, "How does she do it?"
a healthy dose of pills, a pool boy, and a Jacqueline Susann novel.
heh.
Okay maybe not.
Truly though, nothing relieves stress like doing a lot of laundry and kneading a bunch of dough. It may take a bit of work to make bread, but maybe if more people did that, they wouldn't go out and do rash things like beating eachother up or running for public office.
Now to watch Rick Steves. (god damn his show is such a great fix)

Re: RICK!
Date: 2003-10-27 07:30 pm (UTC)I have to stop myself sometimes from saying out loud, "oh goody, the one where he goes to Cologne." or something.
He is so freaking hip. He knows his stuff. I used one of his books when I was in England and it was super helpful and I like his slight edge of sarcasm.
I am one step away from being a Rick Steves groupie.

Date: 2003-10-28 06:02 pm (UTC)Actually a typical conversation would be
She:God damn, why do guys have to be such assholes, all I want is to get laid. I am not asking for marriage. Hell I am not even asking for intellectual coherency.
me:Maybe your standards are too high.
She:If it wasn't for the fact that you have a boyfriend I would tell you to get laid. You are too uptight.
me:fuck you heh
she:and the horse you came in on.
Yeah...family.
