There are always ice baths.

Good avenue to practice your profanity.

Gods yes. Closest I've ever gotten to an ice bath was ice buckets for shin splints in high school, and I remember the sheer agony when smartasses would walk by and kick my bucket. Can't even fathom a bath.

Off to bed with me. Night, y'all.

It was mskat's suggestion, and I swear the ice baths shortened my recovery time during krav instructor training. I bought two huge bags of ice three nights in a row and dumped them into cold water and then lowered myself into it.

Good god. Oh, the swearing, the cursing.

Coming out of it, though, I was preternaturally warm.

Don't runners sit in ice baths after marathons?

It makes perfect sense, though it also sounds crazy.

I swear the ice baths shortened my recovery time during krav instructor training.

Wasn't that during the LA F2F? (I remember being so glad you could make it to the Prom, so I think you had something going on, and I think it was krav instructor training.)

listing things on ebay lalalala. Realized that these are possible Christmas gifts so need to get them up asap.

I have trouble wearing jewlry that I cannot wear constantly

This is me. I wear my wedding ring (when I'm not pregnant and swollen knuckley), small diamond studs my parents gave me in my ears, and my Cartier Love bracelet all the time and that's about it. I'm not good about switching out jewelry.

Supposedly ice baths shorten recovery time after long runs, but I've yet to try it.

I've been recently introduced to local PBS host Huell Howser, and he is amazing. This guy manages to be possibly the stupidest person I've ever seen on television. His wonder at every single thing in creation is like that of a small child.

Here he gets so excited about a dog that eats avocados that he literally repeats it to several different people during the course of the day: [link]

LA F2F was orange or green belt, I think. Before instructor training insanity. Student insanity. Man, I was out of it that night. Good times.

I kind of love Huell, but I can only take small doses of him.

it's Leverage time. the best time of the night.

I love jewelry but never wear it anymore. Not sure I can even get earrings in anymore. I'm allergic to nickel, so I have to be careful about what goes through my earlobes. Never have worn a watch; they bug me, and I generally don't care what time it is anyway.

This is my favorite local jewelry designer.

OMG those are gorgeous. I have to get married now, because I just found my engagement and wedding rings. Can I buy those myself and wait for Hypothetical Future Husband to arrive, or is that gauche?
