Dude, I go away for two seconds and thread turnover and I miss top 30! Damn you Natter chatterers, damn you!
I'm trying to think of why someone should fund me to study Chaucer
Someone should fund you to study Chaucer because you are fabulous. And you should stop watching things that bring up ouch-y memories. Isn't Ellen on? Judge Judy? You can practice my mantra of the day.
Hey, Ginger. I will actually take some recommendations for Atlanta restaurants (because restaurant recommendations are fun!) although I doubt I'll be able to use them. I am going down with my boss' boss (henceforth big boss) and she is making all of the arrangements.
Speaking of restaurants, I took DH to Pete's Tavern for his birthday which is a very cool restaurant if anyone's ever in NYC. Not only is it very near Tamany Hall, but it's also the place where O. Henry wrote The Gift of the Magi. And they have an amazing $9.95 full brunch complete with Mimosa. Mmmmm......mimosa.
Thanks, Kat and Cindy -- makes perfect sense, but I somehow got stuck on the word "release".
not having the body of someone whose job is a gymnast
Is that entirely an image thing (in spite of not being fat)? I know that for me, even though I'm miles from an elite anything, I get into this ugly "my body betrayed me, the vengeful fucker" rage when I hit a wall. (But I know in gymnastics, size is a huge issue, so yeah, image is probably a bigger part of it for her than for me.)
Oh, now I know what you're watching. For some reason I had it in my head that it was some sort of documentary about this gymnast alone. Oh, yeah. TV's dirty little reality secret, for sure. Heh.
Do they still have Iyanla on as a life coach on Starting Over? My mom is a total O Magazine junky and she loves Iyanla.
Do they still have Iyanla on as a life coach on Starting Over?
They do indeed. I like her. I like all the coaches/therapists actually.
Not Ginger, but my favorite Atlanta restaurant is Bluepoint(?) in Buckhead, but it's sushi and sort of pricey, so it may not be to everyone's liking.
I wasn't fond of Iyanla when I saw her a couple of times on
Oprah
several years ago. But I caught her a few times on
Starting Over,
and I liked her much better. But I don't know whether it was a current season.
ETA: And also, I don't know how to spell her name much.
Ginger, I think we are staying at the airport Holiday Inn. The horror!
This is the only place I've seen her. With clients (which is how I think of the Starting Over women), she's really good. Calm and still, yet unwilling to backdown.
It's a nice combo.
