I feel like Jesse- I can wear dark things, bright things, and warm things-- just not light things. I get the most compliments when I wear brown and orange red, but sometimes when I where blue, fuschia or purple, I also get compliments, although it may just be because those are bright and different colors for me. I need an impartial observer!

I also feel like the last time we had this conversation, Jesse and I were both like--"I can't wear colored pants!"

Clearly, flea, you need to buy the aqua Trixie dress. It's calling you.

Congrats to Mr. flea!!

Also congrats mr Flea, and the flea family!

The Trixie dress is not built for my telephone-pole figure, alas.

Flea needs to buy the Trixie dress, so when it arrives in September she will remember that it is the PhD celebratory dress, and she will get to be happy twice!

Speaking of color. Last night I replaced a dead compact florescent bulb in our living room ceiling fan. I used a nice modern daylight florescent bulb, but there are three light sockets and the other two still have old CF bulbs. This has turned the living room into a simulator for a planet in a binary solar system. Everything casts two different colored shadows.

Congratulations Dr. Mr. flea! And to Mrs. Dr. Mr. flea for putting up with him through all of this!

The cakewrecks are fascinating.

And to Mrs. Dr. Flea for putting up with him through all of this!

Indeed!

Congrats to the flea family. It must be such a relief to see it done.
