They're predicting 1 inch of snow here tonight. We were at Mom's house in RI for the weekend (while she is in Florida), and it was lovely to be someplace with no snow on the ground. We're home now, and most of our yard is still covered.

Virgin America is having a sale. Does anyone want to go to Cancun?

Does anyone not want to go to Cancun?

Although I am in Mexico City all next week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, good one, brenda. I liked the DF a lot.

I have a lot of shit going on at work, which is good, but I'm super anxious today, and I just realized it's my stupid cyclical anxiety! It's way better when my mind is calm and I wonder why my body is anxious.

msbelle, have you gotten anything in the mail from them? I got a letter saying I had miscalculated and giving me a revised amount. Good luck that it is real!!

I barely managed to get out of bed this morning because I'm done with winter. I'm not sure how I'm going to get up at 6:30am for the next two days because of a work training that starts early.

nothing in the mail yet. I will go check at lunch SINCE I CANNOT FIND MY WALLET IN MY PURSE. Let's hope I had it out for some reason at home yesterday.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

What on earth is planking?

I hate to be pedantic (that's a lie; I love to be pedantic), but "planking" is not the same as the plank exercise/pose. This is planking: [link] as explained by Wikipedia: [link]

The plank pose is a pilates pose (I think; or maybe yoga) that is great for your abs and harder than it looks: [link]

This post brought to you by someone who giggles every time someone mentions a "planking" challenge, because the mental image is hilarious.

yes, I would not be planking at work, I would be doing some planks. They are the devil.
