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....

*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!

One of my friends has waist length hair and manages a sock bun sans dinner plate. It is a very delicate balance though...

That's pretty impressive, then :D

What the heck is a sock bun?

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.

Yeah, I think I'd probably end up with a dinner plate too. :)
