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.)
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Trixie. I love that description.

Akimbo is an awesome word. It also originates in, IIRC, Old Norse, as "en kenbowe."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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.

Because books.
Secretly, we know it was the reason, msbelle. And I say YES to cupcakes!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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.

I saw the doctor last week ... he said that in order to get the daily recommended amount of Vitamin D you'd have to stand outside naked for about 15 minutes.
How much D is that, exactly? I'm certainly not getting enough. I need to supplement, because I'm not standing outside for 15 minutes even partially unclothed.

Happy birthday, msbelle!

Ha, no. I've been on a vitamin D supplement for years, because I live in Seattle AND I avoid the sun.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My math courses were Algebra, Geometry, Precalc, AP Calc
That's what I took too. (Geometry was a repeat from 8th grade because I changed school systems, but there weren't any other options for 10th grade math.)
