Thanks to those of you who expressed your support on Wednesday. I'm happy to report that I did recover from my initial angst, thanks in part to a successful retail therapy excursion. Blue and Green love kindergarten so far, especially recess (three times a day!), the perpetual ringing of the bell (two before school, each recess, lunch, after school), and, of course, the locker. It is a bit hard to figure out exactly what's going on, since the news I get is partial. When I asked them what they learned yesterday, they answered, "We learned how to draw straight and squiggly lines." Huh. Well, that will sure make their doodling better! Gotta love my tax dollars at work.
Once I recovered from Wednesday's danish binge, it occurred to me that I have a rather unique opportunity here. My classes don't start until the first week of October, so that leaves me with three weeks with TIME TO MYSELF. SIX HOURS A DAY. Can I say that any louder? SIX HOURS A DAY!!!! TO MYSELF!!
I began my stint as a lady-of-leisure by returning to the gym after a rather lengthy hiatus. This return had less to do with my danish habit as it did with my need to catch up on reading material. My sister-in-law is recovering from surgery, so I thought I'd use this space today to entertain her (and you!) with all the knowledge I gained on the elliptical machine this morning.
#1) Fitness magazine says, "You must be a priority...Be your own high-stepping, baton-twirling majorette." Hmm. OK, but I don't have a majorette costume.
#2) Fitness also claims that leggings, leg warmers, and LEOTARDS are back in style! Oh boy! Maybe I can get a majorette costume after all.
#3) If leotards aren't your thing, US magazine offers some useful advice for any woman of a certain age. "In your twenties," they write, "you can wear a skirt with fishnets and red satin heels, but in your thirties, you have to choose just one." Oh no! Just one? I'll leave it to you, my loyal audience, to make that choice for me. What should I wear to the PTA picnic tomorrow -- fishnets or the red heels?
#4) I know that many of you are in your forties and beyond. US says this about you: "Go for clean, classic styles with bold accents like a splash of leopard." Alright, it's time to pack away that leopard bodysuit you love so much. Didn't you hear them? They said a SPLASH of leopard, not an entire carcass.
#5) For those of you who have daughters, this one's for you. Actress Evan Rachel Wood recently told reporters, "I'm sorry if I have blonde hair and blue eyes and my boyfriend looks like a vampire. What do you want me to do about it?"

This comes from Julie:
"you've definately gotta rock the fishnets. do you still have any stretch micro-minis from the '80's/90's? and if you cant wear the red heels are you allowed black? if not, i would opt for thigh high boots, at the very least knee high boots with thigh high fishnets. that would be hot, AND if you take the right size stick with you you could call yourself a neo-majorette! i think its a fool-proof ensemble. good luck with that!"
