Monday
Yay! More language database work (data ENTRY) for the day. More scheduled for tomorrow.
After work, we dashed off to PT, where we proceeded to run last week's hilly course, and I proceeded to be slower than the men. My knee is filing protest. My only consolation is that he's pushing himself harder than us. I bless my fellow soldier who made a wrong turn and shaved time off.
After tortu... I mean, PT, I dashed off to drop off and pick up the film. I have all the pics scanned, but only the MiniCon ones posted here :

I also discovered that the red eye option does not fix Evil Kitty Glowing Eyes (that Freak You Out at 0230) on my photo editor. Any helpful suggestions?
The 3 Gallagher cats are represented, although the two pics of Pouncequick by herself did not turn out so well.
I also have a rant on fashion which is in an LJ cut, so the men do not have to bother with it (unless, of course, they want to - paging Scott - ) :
Clothes Shopping
I really hope this "designing for the very slender" trend goes away fast, or at least starts to include "designing for women with figures". Respectfully, I do not need ruffles, or lacy details, or clever designs, or such to draw attention to my chest. It does that all by its (not so little) self. Hips - I have them, so could we please start making all the pants with wide waistbands/details/etc ?
However, I finally did find a pair of tannish dress pants, so I can rest now.
Off to bed early...
I also have a new icon, and ditched two of the others. The icon, of course, is of my dark and lustrous mane, for the people who have inquired about the hair length on the main icon being realistic....

As far as the fashion goes....I am a rare breed in that I hate shopping period (short of loving bookstores, Victoria's Secret, and Bath and Body Works). I am the complete opposite though--very boyish figure. They don't cater to us any better. I am thin but I am no waif by any stretch of the imagination. Stores like American Eagle and GAP can definitely bite me...
The fashion and beauty industries profit by making women feel inadequate. If women woke up and truly liked everything about myself those two industries as we know them would have to seriously rework themselves or crumble.

*giggles* sock bun?! *giggles again* Myself and Danielle have agreed that if either of us were to do a sock bun, we'd have a dinner plate on our heads!
Though in all respect, my hair is only waist length :D
And I think everyone would be happier if they thrift-shopped more, but I'm weird that way!

That's pretty impressive, then :D

It's a trick military women use (not sure who got the idea for starters) to do their hair. You take a (clean!) sock, cut out the toe, and roll it into a sort of donut thing. Then you pull the hair over and around it, and perfectly round bun ensues. However, it works best with mostly shoulder length hair.

Thanks! The sock bun is a little out of reach. I just comb it out, put it in a ponytail below the headgear line, then split the ponytail in half. Braid each half, twist together, braid together at the very end to keep from untwisting, then form a bun around the base of the ponytail. Apply hairspray if/as needed and good to go. I just use the plain black elastics, and since my "bangs" are somewhere around my waist, the hair stays back from my face.
