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....

Thanks, Scott, (she says with a maidenly blush).

It's at least one male's fantasy figure.... :)

I'm quite happy with *it*. I'm just not happy with fashion.

And could we get a slight halt on all the Perky Pale Pale Pastels *please*? I'm not opposed to a nice dark pink on occasion, but all these pale blues and greens and yellows are so not on my color chart.

And really, being *one* man's Adolescent Fantasy is all you need. (As long as it's the *right* one, which you seem to have managed quite handily!)

Pastels have their place. There are quite a few pastels *I* happen to look good in, for instance. I'll even admit that the earth tones which I regularly malign also have their place (iclysdale, frex, looks wonderful in earth tones, no matter what commodorified might say).

But yes: Where Are The Jewel Tones?!?! We need more Bright Colors!!
