UPDATE: they *fit* 😍

They're a little snug in the stride, so I might get the button moved but the high waist, hip/seat and length are all great.
I win. 🏆

This one particular store often has *gems* and it pleases me greatly

I have left the store. I got two Ann Taylor dresses, a lace dinner jacket, three pairs of jeans (Abercrombie, Joe's, Ribkoff) AND these two pairs of pastel Escada pants for less than any one of these things would have cost new.
I am giddy over the pants, y'all

Correction: THERE ARE TWO OF THEM

I just found a pair of Escada pants at the thrift store for $8.

This feels like a crime. But it's not like I could possibly leave them here

Correct.

She does not

I think it will never cease to delight me to watch two people affectionately punch each other as I drive past them....

Indeed

I only *sniffed* at this monstrosity and noped full out afterwards

Just finished an ARC read for blurbing and, even though I know for sure the book is 100% human-made (because I know the agent who sold the book: she's ethical + totally anti-AI), I still appreciate the note affirming that fact.
Going to start requesting this in my book contracts going forward.

I'm in charge of food for D&D tomorrow. So I've just par-cooked around 4lbs of German meatballs. The challenge will be forcing myself to refrain from eating them between now and tomorrow lunchtime (this is why I'm waiting to finish them in the oven tomorrow) 😜

Star Trek TNG. On paper. Passed around the school.
Next up was X-Files on the MSR Yahoo group mailing list + the Gossamer Archive

Come up to Seattle and I'll take you to a Torrent game!

Oh you have certainly witnessed it 😂

To be fair, mine also comes out when I'm tired....

I loved so many times about this (the gala is often my favorite) but I think the best part may have been that Carolina Kostner got her flowers.
She's always been excellent- maybe the greatest skater Italy ever created. 💕

I am loving the Olympic Showcase Gala but I just... really need someone to bring back long spirals that change edge. Please.
I miss Michelle Kwan.

Tara Lipinski's gold medal skate was to an Anastasia medley but that was in the pre-lyrics era. I'd love to see this music in the modern age.

"I'm Still Here". Jim's Theme from Treasure Planet.
I ache to be a good enough skater to do justice to that song.

Best I've done so far is skating to "Hungry Like The Wolf" dressed as little red riding hood.

And a gold medal 🏅

A lot of these skaters have been performing Long Programs. Alysa Liu just gave us a *Free Skate* ⛸️ 💕

Massive thanks to the Olympics for scheduling Amber Glenn's free skate during the gold medal hockey game intermission.
A+ fan experience.

Etouffee is a lot of work but it's always *always* worth it.

Anybody else out here just wanting the French team to *fall down* ?

A store specializing in books for every mood and every stage of life called Maslow's Hierarchy of Reads

We're now printing whistles in my house to restock local spots at no cost to them.
So not only are y'all doing huge numbers, people are copying your homework in their communities 💕

At least Leni Riefenatahl could frame a shot

There are some bangers in the Rotten Tomatoes pull quotes for "Melania" reviews but this one is the clear winner:

I turned in my book!!!!

TFW the novella contract says 20,000 words and the final draft comes out to 20,068....
All that's left is to format and send. 🍻
