A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Hil, some folks keep kosher, and I think few people keep to the Shabbat rules. I think it's on the liberal side of traditional, if that makes sense?

I know the kiddo's fam doesn't keep kosher, except High Holidays - they eat pork and seafood, but won't keep bacon or ham in the house. Eh, whatever!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'd say err on the side of more modest, then -- at least have your shoulders covered, and skirt about knee-length or longer, and no plunging neckline or anything like that -- but no one's going to get worked up about exactly how long your sleeves are, or if your skirt is an inch too short. You shouldn't have to cover your hair, but there might be a stack of lacy thingies and some bobby pins at the entrance -- just look to see if most of the women are putting those on, and follow their lead.

Waffle Day sounds good to me.

According to the Atlanta paper, tomorrow is International Waffle Day.

And I know there's a Waffle House near your house because Emmett and I went there with you.

Is it appropriate to go to IHOP on International Waffle Day?

They serve waffles and they are international, so I think so.

:: checks meal plan for tomorrow::

I could stick a fajita in the waffle iron, I suppose.

ETA: that was my reasoning, Hec, but I wasn't sure.

BTW, going for a walk, even though it was chilly and breezy (or maybe because it was chilly and breezy?) made me feel better. About to apply tea and cupcake.

I still feel like if I go home and go to sleep I would feel better tomorrow than I would if I soldier on through the rest of the day, but I also keep thinking "well, I'll just get this one thing done first so it will be out of the way" and that could easily go on all day...

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

It would be wrong NOT to!

I vote go sleep.

My boss said the same thing, so I am about to go home. Yay? Ish.
