Shin splint, maybe?

That's a possibility as well. I hope it's just that. I have a feeling that whatever it is, I won't be able to run the 14 miles this Saturday, which is our halfway point milestone run that I was really looking forward to accomplishing.

P-C is one of the coaches/mentor types you're practicing with named Andrew? Strawberry blonde? Law prof?

I don't think so.

Happy birthday, Owen! (Even if I refuse to believe you're three.)

(Of course, I'm in similar denial about Tickybox turning two on Friday.)

Yay, Sox with the Manolos! They were coooool.

thoughts of the moment: i do not want babies biting my boobies.

My flight out of MSP is delayed two hours. So much for getting home at any kind of decent time--probably more like 11pm or later now. BOOOOO.

t shallow So, remember when I was talking about being an elitist gothy snob about clothes I was looking at?

I really like this outfit. [link]

(And the skirt and top are available separately.)

Do I want to bite the bullet and spend the $$ for the outfit, knowing full well that a bunch of other Victorian goth girls will also be taking it to the event? Do I want to spend (slightly) less and just get the skirt and add more trim to it?

Yes, this is how I'm distracting myself today. But I need advice.

So if I happened to acquire nine extra of this button, could I pawn them off on anyone around here?

BWAHAHAHA!

You know, I'd wear that in public.

How flattering do you think the top would be? I'd be concerned about that cut/detailing on a large bustline. Do you have things that are identical in terms of where the trim would be?

Gooooood point. I have no idea how flattering it would be. My brain shorted out at "Stripy Victorian top!"

I want that on a t-shirt.

Jilli, I love the outfit. Shocking lack of pink, though. (I'm assuming that's the trim you'd like to add.) I think you'd get a lot of use out of those separate pieces besides this event so it might be worth getting them both.

That rectangular bit on the top, I don't think that works. The skirt is pretty fabulous, though.

Hey Jilli - I need a new messenger bag type thingie for my laptop and sleeve. Any luck with the Gothic Charm School messenger bags?
