I'd say that I am crying right along with you for missing the NKOTB concert. And I would send it in complete sentences with proper punctuation and everything. If I ever use an LOL or WTF, please shoot me.

Best thing I did was FINALLY make my own all purpose cleaner. I am ashamed I didn't do it sooner.

I also haven't bought plastic bottled drinks in over two months.

The confessionals are a fine line for sure. I usually try to keep things light on my blog, but there are and have been lots of times that I've written something and then not published it. I can self-censor, it seems.

I think the line is crossed when a blogger writes for a reason other than just to get it out. I never ever think that you are writing for anything other than your own reasons, and to help your readers. Crazy aside, Charlotte, you have helped me immensely. I don't have eating issues, but I was an over-exerciser and I am taking today off in your honor! Thanks for being you.

I use an alarm, but it is set to NPR, so I get to slowly wake up to the cooing voice of Steve Inskeep and Renee Montaine. I am usually up when it goes off, but when I do have to get up early, my alarm is also on the far side of the room.

In college, I had to set 3 alarms to get up. I feel terrible for all my roommates.

You have the best pictures, but this one of the baby and the boom box? Best picture EVER.

I'm tired too. I need a break. But I have zero coordination. I fear death by dancing.

That was a great article in the Star Tribune!

And seriously? You work out only an hour a day!?!? I remember when I started reading your blog years ago you were doing something insane like 15 hours a week! GREAT JOB!!!

You are my hero. But I think I've told you that once or twice.

I read that Sartoialist post, after seeing it linked from Jezebel (LOVE), and the thing that got me upset was that not only did her refer to her as "sturdy" (Sorry Dragonmamma,but that is derogotory, and NO ONE better be calling me that) but that is one of the rare posts where he included a "normal" looking woman, and in none of the other posts did he ever comment on their bodies; he stuck to the fashion. That is how it should be on a fashion blog.

I read some fashion-y blogs, but mostly because I am SO very not fashionable, but I like to look. Its like an art museum to me. I see the shots and appreciate the pretty, but that will never be me. (Expect for that cardigan. I want it.)

My older sister was a nearly elite gymnast and I wanted like everything else to do it because my big sister did.
I tried.
I failed. Big time.
But, I can still do the cool easy things like round-offs that make for good party tricks. Anything more than that, and I'm too sissy.

Those videos....wow.

I want your dress!!

I went to my first bikram class in long pants and a t-shirt. I didn't know bikram was hot yoga. Have you gone to Core Fusion? I know there are a ton in the Twin Cities, and they give you a week pass for free! They are all in heated rooms, but not the boring 26 pose series, that gets old FAST.

Hmmm....I burned popcorn yesterday and my house has smelled like that all day. I'm a scientist. Perhaps the lingering smell is actually my dissertation?

You don't eat the free samples?!? But, but but...they are free!! for the taking and of calories. You must not have known that.
