I'm thinking seriously about Tilly.

(I still love Mariner but I think she may be more of a Tilly anyway...)

Our wings are not tired.

Mariner is a great name but I’d end up calling her Marnie because three syllables and I’m lazy lol.

She’s so cute!!!!

Very striking eyes indeed!

I have been on a road trip since 1pm, and we are still almost 2 hours from our destination. Oh dear. But I am not driving. I am however DJ, a responsibility I take seriously, so have been keeping the vibe going.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

She would make a most excellent Tilly. Huzzah!

(The most recent amazing race has made question what it says about a society that lets a word like huzzah fall into disuse. Nothing good I’m sure.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I like Tilly as a girl dog name. Bix would work better as a cat name, although I’m sure I’d change it to Bixie almost immediately.

Punishingly Intricate

She’s gorgeous, ‘suela!!! Congrats to you both!

Tilly is a fab, name and character. She looks sweet. Congratulations to you both!

Lordy, do I need to hydrate better today. I kept waking myself up every hour last night with leg cramps. Ugh. And I'm sure I'll be just delightful all day after that kind of sleep. If you see me in here, ask me when the last time I had a sip was. Sheesh.

Wherever you're going, meara, I hope it's a good time.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh, that is totally excellent.

Way to go, Tom! Lord, I hope it isn’t a nightmare getting a new NC license.

What a pretty doggie, Consuela. I hope she’s a good fit for you.

Had a great day yesterday with errands and friend time and two! New! Bras! I got an every day “nude” (actually a medium brown) and a serious sports bra in highlighter yellow. The latter was on sale for half off, so the damage wasn’t too bad.

I realized last that that while I knew that I flare my ribs and that it was contributing to back pain, I did not realize it was worsened by wearing a band size too large and old, stretched-out bras. It’s humbling when you realize you are doing the thing that you are absolute convinced you aren’t doing. Been wearing a 36 for, oh, decades. Because of a professional fitting!

A good bra fitting is priceless. I'm not sure I've ever had a really great one, but... I've heard tell. Congrats!

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I have a new puppy!

Yay! She's adorable!

Mariner is a great name but I’d end up calling her Marnie because three syllables and I’m lazy lol.

I call Murderbiscuit "Boo" more than half the time because 4 syllables is a bit much.
