You know what's annoying?

Sometimes (often) I have dirt on my hands. It's not too visible unless I wash my hands, but then you can see gray suds. Icky. But I can feel the dirt. And once I do, I have to wash my hands. It'd be better if it were some sort of OCD thing, so I could say "there's no dirt there". But there is dirt there, and once I realize it, hands must be washed now. *grumbles*

On the up side, when I'm done I know my hands are clean, not merely washed. Course, I wish this super-sense extended to my hair. I'm likely to forget that it needs to be washed until it's been a week, at which point it's all oily and greasy and stringy and all.

I bathe twice a year, whether I need it or not.

ELIZABETH THE FIRST!

Right? Right?

Not a clue. Though, now that you mention it, that sounds about right. I first heard the expression from a co-worker, ages ago, though the actual time-frame was "once a month." I think my hyperbole gland is acting up this week. But I imagine the "twice a year" would fit the early Elizabethan context a bit better.

Sorry to be anticlimactic. Complete sentences alone are a tall order at the moment.

In other words...

"Nay, I shall ne'er be ware of mine own wit till I break my shins against it."
