I'm so happy that it all fits! I feel warm and fuzzy when my clothes find a good home. I can't believe how long those dresses ended up being on me now. I'm so glad that it works for you.

Me either! They all swirl around my ankles (which I love).
I do have to remind myself sometimes, especially when I'm wearing the flocked one, that I'm in a long dress. I keep trying to take long strides and running out of skirt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You have to take a handful of skirts and hike them up when you stride. Or run. Or do stairs.
It's fun, and it can save your life.

I'm having a Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants moment. These are the magic dresses. They fit everyone. Because you are significantly taller than I am.
Today is regatta dress day. I should take pictures, huh?

Morning! I was awakened in the night by loud thunder, most of which moved by the east of us, so I sat up and caught up on some stuff for a while, including that night's Daily Show, then I went back to sleep and slept really soundly... so that my roommate had to wake me up at 7:30 with the news that water was coming out of the top of our water heater.
I got up and after enough time for consciousness to be driving the tug boat, went down to look in the cellar. The roommate, who is not to be entirely trusted in an emergency, neglected to shut off the water going into the hot water heater, so that it continued to drip and make a mess. Unfortunately, she's right about the dripping, which seems to be bubbling up out of the gap in the top where I think the exhaust from the burning gas is supposed to escape. Clearly this is beyond my slim powers of repair.
So... that's my morning so far. Last night I literally fell on my face in yoga....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Poor Theodosia. I hope the rest of the day is better.

I had a dream last night that I moved in with Hec and JZ -- though in the dream they lived in a big house, not the cool apartment they have now -- and it was all good and we all got along....except for, at bedtime, they told me I had to go across the street and sleep in the hobo camp.
JZ says: "We would never make one of our friends go sleep in the hobo camp. Those people have manky feet."
What a relief!

Okay, this is my new favorite thing: there is an elephant sanctuary in *Tennessee* for "retired" circus elephants. I spent about 2 hours last night looking all around the Web site -- it's pretty incredible.
AND it has an ElephantCam! Three of the elephants are swimming RIGHT NOW!!!
