All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

They all really do fall under that umbrella, don't they?

Okay, now let's do culottes, clamdiggers and jorts!

Gotta throw capris in there, too.

Would've been better alliteration too.

You can move the jorts over with the shorts and the skorts.

I feel like we're moving pretty close to an Animaniacs patter song.

ION, I just looked at my bloodwork results and my titres are good to go for Rubella, Measles and Mumps. (I remember having all of them as a kid. Rubella and Mumps back to back. That was rough.)

Punishingly Intricate

I dislike having fabric flapping about when I’m doing yoga so I wear leggings for yoga not yoga pants. Ironically!

Btw, I’m now a Certified Yoga Trainer!! Pretty sure that means I can now start my own cult!! Anyone interested??

Our wings are not tired.

I'm in for lisah cult! I loved yoga in my youth and enjoy it well enough when I (rarely) go now, but mostly it annoys me that my body just won't do a lot of what it used to. I am still hella good at standing on one leg for long periods of time and have lovely posture, per my physical therapist, who was appropriately impressed by those skills.

My big news is that my oven died here in the condo so I am getting an induction range [link] which I've always been interested in using. Of course now I have to get new pans, but that is okay since I really only have 3 I like much and I can bring them to NY with me.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Sorry lisah, I've been a Trekkie, rooted for the Bruins in the 90s, and was immersed in multiple branches of Buffy fandom, so my cult dance card is already full.

I heard yesterday that I was accepted into the clinical trial, so I'll be getting my heart ablation on May 5. These cardiology folks don't waste any time! I'm used to "the specialist might have an opening for you in three months," and then having to make lots of calls to get anything set up. I guess it's good that I won't have too much time to build up worry before the procedure is over and done with.

That's awesome that they are able to get you in so quickly!
