'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Man, I do not want to go to the gym today.
What was your time? (I ran mine in about 45 minutes, but "run" is a strong term for what I did.)
About 46 minutes, I think. The full race route apparently was 3.5 miles rather than 3.1, which I thought was mean. I also wouldn't call what I did "running".
If I could magically lose those last 20 pounds, I'm sure it would be easier on my knees.
I hate to be wrong as much as anybody else, but I discovered a while ago that admitting to being wrong is much the same as out-nicing people. You leave them floundering and take much wind out of the sails of "nyah, nyah, nyah you were wrong I was right" if you cheerfully pipe:
Huh. You were right and I was totally wrong. So where do we go from here?
I am a sneaky mean person.
That said, wrong does not automatically mean stupid. Stubbornly wrong...yeah, that's encroaching on stupid territory, but just not knowing? Not stupid.
Victim-blaming is often a way of saying, "this can't happen to me, because that person is stupid, and I'm not stupid."
Yeah, sad but true. Oh people.
Speaking of stupid, I bought two pairs of sneakers today and then walked three miles in the wrong shoes, carrying all the sneakers. But I couldn't put them on! I'm wearing kind of long, kind of too-big capris, and with socks and sneakers, I just look like one of those hood-y guys who thinks they are wearing shorts and not capri pants. If you know who I mean.
CAPRIS.
I am judging you. Is there an emoticon for that?
I love capris, and I don't care who knows. Especially for work. In recent years, I have started wearing knee-length shorts again, but that's as far as I'll go.
As a reporter, I learned that the only way to learn anything was to not be afraid of looking stupid.
What I don't understand is that it seems like no one comes back and says, "Barriers save lives, so let's find a way to make effective barriers that are not ugly and that fit in with a historic buildings."
I'm wearing leggings. I join Jesse for a cocktail on the bench of the fashion damned.
Cheers! I need a cocktail, actually.
I like cropped pants for comfort. Sadly, they often do nothing for me since I am short and they make me appear chopped off at the legs. Trinny and Suzanne would be appalled.
I WANT A COCKTAIL!!!
Why are none of you visiting me this weekend?
