That's heartbreaking!  I hope the puppy's cute, to make up for it.

Aw, thanks.  That would be a massive departure from my current style, which would be a lot of fun.

eShakti!  They came up here a few weeks ago!  I need to pay more attention to Fashion Club, now that I'm a fitness buff.

Modcloth is adorableness on wheels!  And Ann Taylor Loft!  I should have thought of that!  (Nordstrom is my source for my yearly Christmas gift of expensive shoes for my sister.  Why I hadn't considered that they also sell clothing, I can't even imagine.)

Oooh, those models really are scary!  But many of the clothes are so intriguing.  It's like those models are scoffing at me, all, "Who are you to think you can browse these clothes for skinny people?"  Well, scary models, it's not working.  It's just motivating me further, bitches!  Heh.

I am now the world's biggest Boden fan.

AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  That's awesome!

Homegrown potatoes are mind-blowing.  We've had no success with them in the last few years, but after about five years I can still remember how phenomenal the ones we did manage to grow were.  It doesn't seem like a potato should be able to be so much better fresh than from the grocery store, but they really…

I remember reading a beauty tip in Sassy many, many years ago.  The advice was not to hit your mouth with a brick to make your lips plumper.  If I hadn't read that when I was an impressionable teen, who even knows how much dental work I'd have needed throughout my life?

Okay, that's definitely sarcasm!  :)

@LJo1:disqus Sarcasm, sorry.  I kind of don't have a very strong mental image of what either of them look like, so I'm just imagining an enormous explosion of hilarious 80's!!!!.  Which is not at all what you looked like, because you're stylish.  Your hair wasn't nearly teased enough.

@avclub-97d6c074b974838257db17a02f8784c4:disqus Whoa — taking a shirt off in public?  That's an awesome goal!  And scary.  My aim is have legs I'm not ashamed of.  I haven't worn shorts or a skirt in over 20 years, so this would be an earthshattering event for me.  (Also, blinding white.  I don't think I can ever wear…

That's an unassailable argument.

These are the highlight of my week — the anticipation of which a7x fan is going to be surprised with backstage passes this time is what keeps me going on Wednesday mornings.  I especially appreciated the technical expertise of this one, with the talking part of the telephone and all.

Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Dawn McCarthy.  They were amazing, so the fact that I can barely walk today is totally worth it.

That's a very snazzy bag!

Sneaky, sis!

The sauce workshop is serious business.  Last year I ended up with 101 pints of sauced/crushed tomatoes.  It was juuuuuust a bit more than I needed, so at least I know the workshop doesn't have to do that much this year.

I'm sure someone would be selling plants in the spring.  I feel like all the seed catalogs suddenly got the seeds in last year, so maybe they're getting trendy?

What are you going to be pickling?
