Today is Tuesday. Here are some notes and thoughts.
I can't seem to come up with cool blog post titles like Bob and Funke can. So here's the obviously titled post for today.

The little gray cells: I am reading a lot of Agatha Christie (again) and watching a lot (Poirot on A&E/Biography Channel). He's a big fan of logic and intellect in the face of a mystery, a fan of 'using the psychology' to solve a murder. It's fascinating, and I'm enjoying it.

I'm exercising my own little gray cells. The Dude got me a Sudoku book. Even better: it was in an Easter Basket. Even better: he surprised me with the Easter Basket on Easter Morning. What a guy. I also got a solid chocolate bunny, some Reese's eggs and some (very fresh not stale) Hershey Kisses...and a Jumbo Kiss. What a nice surprise. He's always going around surprising me.

The website for the culottes is amazing, Heather, and it makes me want to sit down the with denim jumper people behind it and really pick their brain and understand why they insist on culottes being Normative and Modest. I don't wear culottes or long dresses or long skirts (mostly because all my long stuff is still packed away with the summer clothes) but I'm not immodest. I just want to understand why they categorize their clothes as the right ones (and end up, by proxy, categorizing all other clothes, whether we're Malibu Barbies or not, as the wrong clothes).

Speaking of Barbie, it occurs to me that even Dentist Barbie and Veterinarian Barbie had miniskirts. Well, if I had her legs and butt, so smooth and firm, I'd probably show them off too. I guess it's a good thing I've got human legs.

Speaking of clothing, The Dude got his first taste of The Joy of Shopping for Swimsuits. Sigh. I hate it myself, because there's always the question, which one should I buy???
Here's the scoop: suit A looks good on my tummy but not my butt. Suit B looks good on my butt but not my front. And Suit C looks good on my tummy and butt--but (as the Dude said) is immodest on the front. So which do you buy? I laughed and said to him "Welcome. Now you understand why we hate swimsuit shopping."

Why can't we have clothes that have inch measurements and come in every conceivable combination, like the men's clothes do? They get shirts that fit them in the collar AND the sleeve, while we have to be content with sizes that fit well here but not there. They get pants that fit well in the inseam AND the waist, but we have to be content with skirts or dresses that fit well there but not so well here. Grrr.

I've been really tired lately, but by the time evening rolls around, my energy starts. I want to sleep in and work in the evenings. When I worked a second shift, it was great...my job schedule fit into my natural body schedule. Why can't I take a nap now then do housework till 2 am?
---
I'm writing some kickin' essays about (what else?) myself. I'll share sooner or later. They're good.
---
I must fold laundry now and have lunch. That will help wakey wake me. My shift today is at 1. The afternoon shift...less boring than the morning shift, but still...tuesdays are slow.
---
I've been reading ephesians. some good stuff, people. but blogging (even blogging about scripture) interrupts my responsibility to laundry and to The Department Store. so i sign off...
