I've come around on wedges because they're easier to walk in than heels.

But I still want to ban bubble skirts. (STILL, not will. Learn to type, Jess!)

I am with Jessica on the bubble skirt issue.

I am still solidly against gauchos. Also, bubble skirts must go.

I'm with Steph.

Can't do any sort of heel, much less one that pitches me forward. And puffs on my least attractive feature (thick upper arms) is just asking for the silent ridicule of the passing masses.

Speaking of passing. Even though I was supposed to rest today, I walked 5 miles...keeping a very similar pace to yesterday's ground breaker. I did feel it a lot more than yesterday.

I need to start doing some work with free weights I'm thinking. Might be able to do something about those thick arms...

Still?

No puffy sleeves!

And I agree with Joe regarding the superbugs. People are already so irresponsible when taking PRESCRIBED antibiotics, I can only imagine the number of drug-resistant strains that would be created by people self-medicating.

OTC meds are good for things you can take until your symptoms clear up, but nsm for things you need to keep taking after you feel better. [eta: And that's not even addressing the problem of knowing when you have a bacterial infection without going to the doctor first.]

I'm fond of the wedge sandals. Not so much the puffy sleeves.

Flip flops are specifically forbidden in school and yet a huge % of the kids are wearing them. Next week is the last week of school and I have noted a major slide in dress code compliance. They are all just begging to be sent home. Best news evah from my son last night was that 3 days next week he has late start. I have only one more day that I have to get up at 6 something.

Yeah, Joe and I talked about that also, but couldn't they take like, Uristat and an antibiotic and mix it up and call it "HooHah Relief for Bladder Infections" or something?

Or, maybe no totally over the counter. Hidden behind the counter kind of like the pseudoephedrine stuff? And you have to give a blood sample to get it???

I need to go to Canada.

she's here!!! ::dancing happy big-sister:: they got in at 2am, as expected.

Yay! Tell her I said "Hi!" when she's got some coffee in her.

O, Canada! Land of OTC Tylenol #3.

I just got back from the meeting that was supposed to tell me what my assignment/job was for parent wrangling during graduation. It was no help at all, and the woman running it kept confusing her right and her left. Add to that my horror!!1!! of people pinning corsages to the wrong side, and the day is pretty much ruined for me!

So, I should go home, right?

I haven't made it to work yet. I need to go in, at least for a bit, but I'm cozy in my pj's right now.

Must. Take. Shower.

Now.

What is the difference between gauchos and capris?
