It's pretty! I say where it whenever and wherever you feel like! Isn't that the point of pretty jewelry?

Woo-hoo it's finally here! I've been waiting for SNS all night. The friend I was supposed to hang out with tonight never returned my call, there was a party I could have gone to but I didn't (and now kinda wish I had), I don't have any wine (which I would have picked up earlier, if not for the fact I thought my friend…

It's not that easy or enjoyable for some people... not everyone gets a running high (or can run long enough to get that high), and the obstacles to feeling its fun are burning lungs or cramping legs.And I say that as someone who has been trying, really hard, to get into running and do it regularly. It's something I…

I'm do a 5k in two weeks that's a doughnut run! It seems like a fair amount of 5ks have doughnuts or beer or something delicious and unhealthy as an incentive...I love it!

When I'm sick and my voice is starting to go, I rely on mainlining tea with honey. Have you taught before coming to China? Sometimes I feel teaching/lecturing just puts more of a strain on my throat, so I'm more likely to get scratchy when I'm feeling well, and begin to lose my voice when I"m sick.

can you post the recipe? Pumpkin chili sounds like something I should try...

If I were you, I'd be very tempted to stay in my pajamas for a couple days and have a netflix marathon... But, if you want to be less of a lazy homebody, how about a trip to a zoo or museum?

Ugh I HATE it when student come in when they are sick. It sucks that her grandmother let her come in and that she was so insistent. The professor in the office next to me recently had a student that came in and was standing outside of his office (and thus, right outside of mine) saying he had a 102 degree fever—and I…

I did my first 5k today, and my knee cooperated! And it was with a meet-up group, and some of the people seemed really cool—a couple of them were also people who moved to town around the same time I did. I am now motivated to keep up with the running...hopefully I can get to the point where I can run the whole thing…

Ack, John Cleese is racist? I did not know that, and it makes me sad :(

I'm terribly irritated with all the ways the CW is screwing up the story...but I will continue to watch, in part to be amused/make fun of it, in part because Megan Follows (Anne of Green Gables!) is in it and I LOVE her.

I'm running my first 5k tomorrow and I'm really nervous! My knee has been hurting this week, so I've been trying to rest, ice, stretch it, and hope it's doing ok tomorrow... and I'm running in costume and I feel like it's kinda ridiculous because it includes this ridiculously poufy tutu I made...and I know I can't run…

I've always wanted to do Frida Kahlo! Maybe someday...

I'm running a 5k tomorrow dressed as a peacock! Well, it's mostly a blue tank, blue shoes, and a very fluffy, glittery tutu over shorts. I made the tutu and added ribbon with peacock feathers drawn on in the back, but I feel like the tutu ended up too poufy... I feel like I'm going to feel very ridiculous walking to…

Hmm... it's interesting that it's common with narcolepsy. I've had sleep paralysis on and off for a while, and a couple common recurring dreams—I've also wondered if I should get tested for narcolepsy.

Congratulations! How long did it take for you to train to get to that point? I'm doing my first 5k next weekend, but there's no way I can run it all—I'm going to have to walk some of it. I'm hoping that eventually I'll be able to run 5k, but right now the most I can do w/o walking breaks is about 1 mile...

I went out with some recently-post-college people and tried to feel like I was young... I got told several times that I look much younger than I am... but I'm old. And it made me feel old. And now I'm home, and want to party like I'm young... but I'm not. And i feel so sad that I didn't quite take advantage of that…

Try getting a few different flavors and switching it up... I usually alternate between green, black, and herbal teas (I drink a lot of tea). I just tried this really delicious decaf coconut chai tea—it's delish with honey!

yay anthro! Although I'm sure that's not how you feel right now:) I did a few productive things earlier in the day, but then watched vampire diaries and napped. And now it's almost Once Upon a Time time!
