Arms akimbo! (I love that word.)

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.
Akimbo!
Was it Nancy Drew or Trixie Beldan that stood "arms akimbo" all the time?
Probably both. I think even Cherry Ames stood that way occasionally. (I actually read very few Trixie Beldens, but I LOVED my mom's old Cherry Ames books.)
Trixie. I love that description.
Akimbo is an awesome word. It also originates in, IIRC, Old Norse, as "en kenbowe."
The company bought everyone lunch in honor of my birthday (not really, but they did buy lunch, so I am pretending that is the reason).
ION, I need to leave the office. I have not left for lunch or errands yet this week. I need cupcakes and not these people and no phone ringing.
Secretly, we know it was the reason, msbelle. And I say YES to cupcakes!
Congratulations to Emmett! It's amazing that a 9-year-old can go to college.
I am standing arms akimbo right now, AIFG! Well, not right now, I'm typing, but you know.
Happy cupcakes day, msbelle!
Math, ha. In high school we got up to Geometry. Learned nothing of higher math. Studied the heck outta the Bible, though.
