And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Because books.

She and Ben are my happy place, I have to say. Thanks, all. I would tell her she got compliments, but she's already well aware of her cute as it is.

Brenda, I'm sorry life is a big stress ball for you right now. I think Kat's approach is the best idea right now. Hope everything improves quickly.

Sara's cut is super cute!

I hate shirts with pockets on the chest. I do not need more business going on there! And I love the way a nice turtleneck looks but I HATE the feeling of them on my neck. arigh strangulating!!

I did not wear pink today, sorry. I wore new burgundy wrap cardigan, grey 3/4 sleeve shirt, black pencil skirt, navy & black zigzaggy tights, and my new grey shoes of awesome. I was quite pleased with myself!

The tights are Missoni for Target. Some of that stuff was very reminiscent of that terrible designer who won Project Runway last summer. I can't remember her name. We call her Running Through Thunder. Anyway, the tights are cute.

I'm off to music club tonight. There will be Korean fried chicken there. I haven't been to music club in months but KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN! (Possibly I love fried chicken more than music...definitely love fried chicken more than talking about music!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Korean fried chicken is good times, for sure!

And that sounds like a hot outfit.

OK, so I know this wouldn't work for everyone, and it is not substitute for professional help and/or dealing, but I just have to put it out there: when I'm stressed out, I try to remember to drink more. More often, not a ton at a time, but one or two drinks after work definitely takes the edge off.

I have to agree with this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Always consider hookers and blow.

My phone headset is busted so I have to use the handset, and this meeting is coming up on 2.5 hours. And I spent all that time with it on one side. Ouch.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay new thread!

Gah! Stealth migraine jumped me at 6:30. I do not need to be light- and sound-sensitive just as this week's Glee airs!

I concur. Verrrrry helpful.

Which reminds me, I should go get ginger beer tomorrow. Or wine.
