And I mean, I do need to do my laundry, but thank goodness I don’t have to scrub it on a washboard in a cold stream, like this scarf makes me feel I should. I’d be a very lazy washerwoman. I mean, I was too lazy to take more than ten full-body pictures today (which seems like a lot, to me, until I read of bloggers who take 100 a day to get their pictures just right), so instead you get one…

    Transformation complete.

    I demolish things.

    I have a nine hour shift today and a ten(and-a-half) hour shift tomorrow.

So. Can you guess what I did with this unfortunate pair of shorts? It shouldn’t be that difficult to guess. I wish I had time to show you what I did with them, but I have to finish getting ready for work. Have a beautiful  Friday!
