Go team sleeveless! That I can no longer wear to work. I will seriously look out for longer denim skirts. The female manager in my group was no good for guidance when it came to "appropriate lengths". She said I was dressing better than her already--she's sleeveless a lot.

So if people stumble across a source of knee or longer length denim skirts, gimme a holler. I'll hit up Old Navy and The Gap and other obvious denim holes (uh, blank now).

But first I must collapse. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

But I had to throw away the muffin. I did buy it Tuesday morning. It doesn't love me anymore. I'll get a new one to stare at tomorrow. Perhaps an extra fouffey drink will sneak in some calories.

Need help:

how do you cook beets? I mean, other than roasting (which I will end up doing, even though the beets are now peeled) or boiling.

I think I'm going to make Grace all red food tomorrow -- beets, cranberry juice, strawberries and strawberry kefir (I'll also through some rice in so not ALL red). Then if she pukes it up I'll regret it. But it will be a nice break from the brown.

My default demin skirt of a more than appropriate length is Old Navy.

Although heat waves are dictating maxi dresses of lightest weight cloth these days. It'd be way shorter skirts but I apparently cannot bare leg and cleavage in the same outfit and boobs is cooler. Temperaturely speaking.

Roast, boil, bake or steam for beets. What a festive meal that Grace will have.

I fed a baby more raspberries today than I would have if I'd been responsible for potential puke. But, man, she nommed them. And growled for more.

I have to agree. Raspberries are amazing.

Cassie, are you teaching babies to growl again ?

She's a natural!

I swear it was organic growling.

Brought on by organic raspberries. And noms.

If I were interfering, I'd teach them to vroom. This just ...happened.

I've fallen down the ModCloth rabbit hole.

ita, I just got this denim skirt: [link]

I'm 5'3" and it hits me a little below the knee. It's got a very nice flare to it.

Happy birthday, sarameg!!!

I somehow feel vindicated that ita's job doesn't think sleeveless is work-appropriate. And Lord & Taylor is generally my source for dresses with sleeves. They have lots!

Thanks for the link, Sail. I ended up going with the straight knee length skirt. Damn, I'm gonna miss the short ones and the boots alternate Fridays.

I don't particularly think of sleeveless as a work issue, but that might be Jamaica talking. They did also bust leggings, which unsuprises me totally, and capris, which surprises me a bit, although I'd never wear them.

Athletic shoes are also off the list. And they called out flip flops. I wonder who they were busting there...apart from the guy a cube over with the Jayne hat.

Happy birthday, sara!
