Yeah, just about everything I own should be tossed. Ah well.

From way back:

Yoga classes go too fast, and frustrate me. Also, I breathe really slowly and deeply during them, and I enjoy it, and feel very peaceful, and always feel out of sych with the instructor/other students.

I feel this way in my prenatal yoga classes. It's not that the exercises themselves are necessarily too fast, but the instructors always want us to breathe in sync with our movements, and I find myself wanting to breathe much slower, like two or three times slower. If I try to breathe as fast as they want us to, I get lightheaded and feel like I'm hyperventilating, which seems like the opposite of the effect that we're striving for.

Kate, I have that same problem with yoga. Breathing in time with my movements makes me lightheaded and feel like I can't get enough air.

But I wanted to tell you that I just downloaded this very cool prenatal yoga app for my iPhone. I think it's called Pregnancy - Healthy Yoga or something like that. Anyway, I really like it, although if you have the time for a real class, that might be more fun.

I got a pinup red yesterday. I'm in the market for a blood red now. It doesn't look like Sephora has it. On the Nordstrom's site it doesn't look very red.

That sounds great! Though I lack an iPhone. But a few friends have recommended a prenatal yoga video from Netflix streaming, which I should start doing. I'm taking two classes per week right now, and it really feels like good exercise and a great way to spend a little time being active and mindful. Trying to get in at least a short walk most days, too, but that requires more self-motivation, which I sometimes lack.

When are you due, btw? I can't remember (if I ever knew).

I have lipsticks that I've stashed for years. So long as they are in vaguely reasonable storage temperature, I've had no problem. If they feel or smell off, I'd ditch them but I use things until they run out or break otherwise

Jan 25. Although my kids have been 1.5 weeks and 2.5 weeks early, so perhaps only 7.5 more weeks. Which scared the crap out of me this weekend and really kicked my butt into gear wrt getting stuff ready.

Good luck! We have really not started getting ready at all. I'm at 17 weeks, and I keep feeling like the end is SO far away, but every day it gets closer. I realized today that our 20-week appt (when we'll do the anatomy scan) is 3 weeks away... and that it will mark the halfway point. Eep!

I do the same thing, and have never had a problem.

Talk about my forgetting the obvious - Manic Panic Blood Red, Kiss of Death, or Vampire: [link]

AM HOME BACK IN NEW ORLEANS THANK JEBUS.

Also, I re-watched A Fish Called Wanda on the way home and I still love that fucking movie.

Kiss of Death and Vampire Red look like good matches, thanks. Is Manic Panic good quality? The thing I keep forgetting about lipstick is that Vaseline moisturises my lips better. I have to factor in more frequent re-application.
