OMGTraffic. Apparently, today is Morgan State's homecoming or something. Had a helluva time getting to Target, and then lines there were insane. In continuing opposites-day, a woman complimented my barely brushed, pinned back hair, and there was no line at TJs.

And now I'll go clean house.

We have some Mighty Leaf tea drinkers here, right? What are your favorite caffeinated kinds?

Good morning, peeps! DH and I just had our first kid-free night since Franny was born. We had dinner at a nice restaurant, the drinks there were amazing (better than the food, I have to say). AND I didn't get out of bed until 9 this morning.

There was no small person in our bed last night, crawling on top of me and kicking off covers and generally interrupting my sleep. And no kids waking me up at 6:30 am either. It was lovely.

YAY for Burrell!

We have both watched some tv shows, had first breakfast, and dressed. Now it is cinnamon rolls for second breakfast and then we will go out for some garage sales. Later mac's friend has an afternoon soccer game and since the mom is my only friend down here, we are going, I will probably knit.

Do you also do any kind of cardio? Either on the weights days or otherwise?

I don't do any steady-state cardio, e.g. getting on the elliptical and going at a brisk pace for a half hour. I do do intervals on the elliptical (1 minute intense, 2 minutes moderate), repeat until 15 minutes are up).

I also make a point of walking as much as I can, which fortunately my neighborhood is suited for.

Ooh, Burrell, that sounds fantastic.

I went outside, only to learn that the costume store had one Wonder Woman costume, missing one gantlet. ISTG. Back to the internet!

have headache. stilll going out dammit.

I have a headache too, but I think I am going back to bed.

I have a headache as well, and am skipping Pilates. I went to Macy's yesterday (since they were having the one-day sale) and tried on EVERY SHIRT IN THE STORE and couldn't find one appropriate to wear on this coming business trip. I am off to TJ Maxx and Marshall's in hope they will have a shirt which will make black jeans look business casual, will travel, and doesn't look cheesy. It shouldn't be this hard.

I'm going to try to take it easy this weekend. Do laundry, clean the bathroom. Write, if at all possible. Later, I'm going to make bow tie pasta with butternut squash, sage, and prosciutto.

I've tried and liked their Vanilla Bean and Organic Breakfast.
