You share my mom's birthday.
Oh, that's lovely. Blessings on your mom's memory. I remember you going through her illness and passing, and talking about what a remarkably good person she was. Matilda is lucky to share a birthday with her.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

No, but they are blue, right? They could easily match.
They're teal. They match a lot of my wardrobe: [link]

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Those are really cool, shrift.
I didn't remember until I was already in the car driving to work that the reason I don't wear this dress is that it has major structural issues, so now I am hiding in my office with the door closed so I don't end up showing people the run in my hose and the newly acquired bruise on my thigh (stupid bed frame). It's going to be a long day.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, I will postpone any potential mocking. FOR NOW.

Talk, people! I don't want to work!

Thanks! They're a lot brighter than they look in that picture. I'll have to camwhore later.

I also got a nice but boring pair of silver frames, so you can just pretend I'm wearing those right now if my so-hip-I-can't-see-over-my-pelvis-ness is threatening you!

Your new glasses are cool, shrift.

You are too hip for me. I got a haircut yesterday, though.
And since the boss is out on vacation the rest of the week, there are murmurings that we should all wear jeans tomorrow.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The way I see it, in the US there is a tendency to eat huge portions and have very little exercise as part of daily life - then the media pumps out an "AMERICA IS THE FATEST NATION EVER AND IT'S GETTING WORSE" campaign every few month (truth? not? who cares). In US society (maybe others, I don't know) there is a premium put on thin and/or physical prowess (athletes for example) and possibly as a result USians have a imbalance (perceived or real) between behavior that leads to fat and values which seek thin. The gym/nutrition/diet industries foster both ends of the machine - the psyche of the country is reported to us as fact whether or not it is and I totally think it changes people's self-esteem.

Ooh, I like those glasses, shrift!
That reminds me, I have to make an eye doctor appointment for October, because my prescription has changed radically this past year, so much so that I have had to take my glasses off to read things in dimmer light or smaller print. I think it's time for bifocals.
