So... she thinks she's pretty at 34, but will be butt-ugly in her late 30s? Interesting.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

I probably think she looks aged and is wearing stuff she shouldn't at 34. Old and puffy is relative.

It's only 85 or so here, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
For every day of sweaty discomfort here, I'm going to hope for two rainy days in Kenya for you.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I moved 23 carts full of woodchips. cart is 5 cubic feet. Which wood make 115 cublic feet. out of 162. now, guessing that i didn't fill the cart 100% every time - I still moved more than half of it. Woodchips are not heavy. but shoveling ,and dragging, and raking ( and cart flipping, the fun part) use a lot of rib cage area muscles. who knew

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good call. At 34, you should pretty much be wearing things you'd feel comfortable wearing three years later, for crying out loud! I don't want to see anyone of any age "wearing stuff she shouldn't."
I was walking behind a woman the other day with my total pet peeve -- she was skinny, but everything she was wearing was so tight (pants, t-shirt, BRA) that skin was bulging out everywhere. NAST.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wish that whatever %age of my time in Kenya is crap weather is the same percentage of time that you experience crap weather in the Valley.

Watching "What Not to Wear" on TLC, I'm surprised by how many people (both men and women) in their 20s and 30s still dress like they did in high school and college. The number of women in their mid-20s that they've had on who still insist on wearing "classic-era" Britney-wear is mind-boggling.

Yes, this. If you've got curves, wear clothes that shape them, not clothes that smoosh them. My sister is terrible for this. She's at least an F cup, but refuses to wear anything over a D, so she ends up with four boobs.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's amazing how far some people will go in their dressing younger. Makes some people look like they are wearing Halloween costumes. And I don't mean that in a good way.

When I started drifting back into wearing knee-length skirts with fluffy petticoats, I tried on an outfit and asked Pete "So, is this too ... mutton disguised as lamb? Am I in danger of looking like one of Those Women?"
He reassured me that if I did try to wear anything that made me look like an idiot, he'd tell me. So far he hasn't yet.
