in other news, haven't talked to you for a long time! and hooray for feeling more like a grown-up woman and not a really old teenager, and boo to acne that just won't go away, even when you're in your mid-twenties. I can relate. speedy says hi, and love to you and your kitties.

Aw, I love you. Once I get my voice back I will call and we should catch up.

It's a one day thing. I like the justification for buying the other pair of jeans :) I think NY&Co is having a sale this week and they have cute "curvy" jeans that look like they'll fit. I can relate to the "my two-year-ago self" would dislike a fashion I like now. Two years ago I really didn't like the boots over pants thing, but now it makes me think of Dollhouse and Firefly but in non-costume-y ways.

Toby says hi, as does Keen (current 15 yr-old foster) and Jarrod. Love back to all of you in Wisconsin.
