Gatlinburg is kinda cool, did you go there too? Pigeon Forge is kinda lame, its just strip malls and outlet stores.

Seriously. Instead I'm going to a dumb office.

Also my new job is business casual which shouldn't be scary for a 27-year-old professional woman, but I'm not convinced I have 5 days worth of business clothes. Excuse to shop!

Check out thrift shops first. I've found tons of Theory, Banana Republic, Express and the like for super cheap. Any which way, charcoal is the way to go, I think it's more versatile than black. Plus cat hair is less visible on it.


On a somewhat related note, would an olive green clutch be appropriate for a funeral, or should I stick with a black bag?

It's this bag:

It has a removable strap

I think muted or dark colours like olive, brown, burgundy and navy are okay at funerals as well. It might just be my weird family though. Sorry for your lots :(

I did ten knee-pushups. I am more of a man than you. :clint:

Crow Jane, that's a good idea, I'll go to the thrift store this weekend. I did get some things from Loft because they were having a sale and had a reddish blazer and I love myself a cute-colored cardigan or blazer. And it was the right kind of red that it wouldn't look like a hotel staff blazer.

Did my biometric screening at work and my cholesterol is 110! Go me! HDL is a little low but not sure how to fix that besides chugging olive oil for breakfast every day.

Also, fasting glucose is 74. I'm proud of myself :)

I have never lifted a weight in my life and I don't give a poo poo.

I hate exercise. Gimme an hour of real work? Yes grand love it. No purpose? No. Energy is finite motherfuckers, I'm saving the world.

Aaaaah my jeans don't fit and I'm sad. Such cognitive dissonance.

You should talk to Peter Ross, he does cool stuff - http://peterrossblacksmith.com/
He made me an awesome pair of calipers that I use for woodworking stuff. I try to use blacksmith materials for projects as much as possible. I made a hanging scotch cabinet earlier this year that had iron door pulls from a blacksmith in Paso Robles, California. I dig smithing

Yeah at my last appointment, my dentist did this to ask me about my tutoring services and try to get me to tutor his son for the dental exam. I have no idea what kind of math that would involve so I didn't get roped into anything but I think it's borderline blackmail to ask for favors or services when you've got torture implements in someone's mouth.

When I was a journalist, if I made the mistake of telling people where I worked, I'd get a huge lecture on what they hated about the paper. I can think of an especially fun ride home in the car place's courtesy van.

Everything. And yes. Its not been a great evening.

I've done running and biking and gyming before, I'd rather just clean stables or do more lab work or walk more or clean the house. Exercise for the sake of it depresses me :(

Eating less is my great wall of China. I love food so drat much.

Gahh, that's sad. Is that a thing that a go-between person can help with or do you have to pay it either way?
