I ordered these to go with my prom dress. We'll see how well I'll be able to walk in them when they get here.

My prom dress came today!

Whooo! Aimee! Did it fit okay?

I have to find my picture of Brendon with Hil and Kristin. They did look wee next to the big guy. Then again so does my 6'2" son.

I noticed on the online dating sites that many women are after tall men, it's a common stipulation. The Wallybee also also mentioned it on her profile, but fortunately it seems she is willing to accept weight as a reasonable substitute for height.

My DH is 35 today. I am trying to convince him (and, apparently Perkins) that we are actually both 36.2083 because as a married couple, our ages are averaged. He thinks I am trying to make myself younger, but really, I'm just trying to bring us closer together.

My parents' ages were two months apart. For those two months, M would rib D about cradle snatching. (She didn't watch Futurama, of course. "Some people say I'm robbing the cradle. I say she's robbing the grave!")

If I could, I would go to London, hit M&S, buy bras and then come home. What's the conversion on bra sizes? I'm a 38DD US, so that would be, what in the UK? 68 1/4 VN, or summat?

See, in UK measurements, that would be what is known as a 'Blimey!' The Australian measurements would convert it to somewhere between 'Crikey!" and "Daynjah Daynjah Daynjah!"

I think I was more wee before I started eating Mexican food all of the time.

Set yourself small goals, like 'stop eating Mexican food while teaching' and 'put the fork down while brushing'.

I have new . ok shorter , and all the grey is gone . an dMatt has a spiffy new 'do ' too. yay

Did it fit okay?

PERFECTLY!

I think I need these shoes: [link]

Which, of course, explains Madona's bras in the early 90s. "Poke someone's eye out with those things," was the goal she was striving for.

I'm just going to presume beth is communicating good news directly to me in some form of telegraphese. And that she's been in the wine.

do high heels hurt to walk in for more than 15 minutes for everyone

Yes.

Wore purple 2-inch heel sandals to school yesterday, on the basis that I did want something sandally & don't have anything else sandally. Well, okay, mostly on the basis that they were purple and went with the ensemble.

Never again.

And they're comfortable high heels, inasmuchas such things exist. And I invariably take my shoes off when I'm in my own classroom (as it's carpeted). But - not doing that again. No siree bob.

Re: height discussion? I'm 5ft 3, I think. Or maybe 5ft 2. Which, yes, can't reach the top shelf & have to be on tiptoes to get the middle shelf. C'est la vie.

ion, I have just sold my nice bookcase. Which had mashrabaya doors.

sighs.

And today I'm going to box up most of my books and go and sell them too, because I've reached a bit of my life when I'm okay with letting books back out into the world for other people to play with. I know they'll still be out there for me when I need them again.

I think I've grown as a person. Or possibly just become more realistic about the logistics of living out of a suitcase, as that seems to be what I'm doing with my life.
