I think they mean "get paid first."

Maybe it happened when I turned 30.
Not sure. But at some point along the way, I realized that I like organization. I like tidiness. (That word looks funny....)
Tonight I decided to clean/organize our closet. There was nothing good on TV, believe it or not, and if I didn't act soon, our closet was going to collapse into a black hole and kill someone.
Here was my motivation:
A Pandora radio station started with the Cars' "Just What I Needed" and a beautiful pina colada.
Abigail really wanted to help.
Either that, or she really wanted my colada.
This was BEFORE:
Scary, no?
And then, after much '80s dancing, colada drinking, kicking and screaming and gnashing of teeth, I give you AFTER:
Ta da!!! Maisy was confused, as you can see. Then again, she's confused most of the time.
And best of all, the shoes...
Aaaahhhh. A closet of beauty is a joy forever.
Cleaning the Closet Colada:
Equal parts cream of coconut, pineapple juice and spiced rum.
(1/4 cup is a good starting place, but don't be scared of the half cup, if your closet is extra big and very messy)
Blend with lots of ice until frothy.
Happy organizing!

Actual Conversation
Me: ...(blathering)...I mean, the '50s were amazing! Can you think of anything, other than the unfair treatment of women and minorities, that was bad about the '50s?
Nathan: Well, it was the beginning of consumerism in America.
Me: But that's what was so MAGICAL about it!

HOW did these people get these amazing jobs?
Stacy London and Clinton Kelley, hilarious and talented stylists on
What Not to Wear.
Wes, the guy who started Hey Cupcake!,
a stand that sells scrumptious cupcakes out of an Airstream trailer here in Austin.
I would have said Steve Jobs, the amazing badass Apple
guy, but I've heard that even though he's inspirational, he's a little crazy.
But since Steve Jobs ALSO co-founded Pixar,
the most fantastic animation company of all time, he makes the cut, I guess.
Honorable Mention:
Martha Stewart,
who became famous for being the most spectacular
homemaker in America and therefore
makes more money than most people in America.
Also because she went to jail and came back even more spectacular than before.
Anyone I left off the list?
