i'm drowning in binders at work over here. conference call, advocacy procedures, reviews coming up, board meetings, blah blah blah.
so, of course i'm going to spend my time thinking about distractions: clothes and boys. oh, and another lisa belkin article about the opt out moms now trying to opt back in.
clothes: the times acknowledges that teen fashion is everywhere (am i the only one who hates H&M?) and trying to dress one's age is difficult. however, there are solutions. if i looked like one of their fashion sketches, perhaps i'd agree with them.
boys: yeah, so, i'm doing the eHarmony thing. (roll of eyes) i mean, if you can't meet someone based on 29 dimensions, where can you? they've improved their process and, though i'm a hit with lots of divorced guys in the burbs, i'll reserve judgment and will try to ignore the overtly goody-goodiness of it all. meanwhile, there is one last nerve guy i'll probably meet for a drink next week.
and the times says that if you're trying to meet a guy in a class, good luck with that.
opting back in: a few women have managed to squeeze their way back into the workplace. i'm still waiting for the article about women of color and why they never opted out in the first place.

I thought of you today when I was at target. They had some adorable clothes in the plus sized (great black wrap dress and some cute kimono-esque cotton tops) and maternity sections (cutest plaid sundress ever there! and some adorable little house on the prairie meets baby doll tops).
i was at target, too, over the weekend!
i bought a snug grey t-shirt that makes my boobage look great. (i think i made a UPS man drop a package today.) and a pair of comfy lounge pants. mmm, lounging.
i really like the liz lange t-shirts. they're so soft and stretchy. i luff them.
