quick note before bed

No doubt it’d be better to wait to post this until tomorrow, so I’d have something else to say besides BOOTS!, but if I’ve nothing to say tomorrow you’ll all just have to languish in the silence of the Kit. Ted and I signed up for a four-week photography class, the first meeting of which was held tonight. I was, I admit, pretty skeptical when I saw the syllabus, which said week one would involve learning about camera accessories and photoshop. Well, it in fact turned out to be quite…

The boots *fit*! The Cavalio riding boots and the Cadiz homina homina homina boots came today, and both pair *fit*! They not only fit my calves, which I expected, but they fit my fat feet, which I didn’t really think there was much chance of.

In response to Michael Pollen’s article about Eat food, not too much, mostly plants (link courtesy ), not to mention Vegetarian is the New Prius (courtesy , my sister who never updates her blog), and also trying to get back on the weight loss wagon (she said, valiently ignoring the twelve thousand cookies she ate today), I put in a request to the Ted for more vegetable-based meals. Tonight he made grilled…
