Baby steps lead to gold stars

Inspired by a short conversation on bellydancing, mckitterick and I watched History of the World Part One last night.

Not that the whole thing isn't great, but minute 0:13 of this clip is the best joke in the movie, IMO.

I got out of bed this morning in barely enough time to do the Tacfit Strain Prevention routine and cool-down. But I did get up, and I did do them!



My efforts were rewarded by this fucking awesome recipe from the Paleo Girls blog. There is a chance I might have to give up caffeine (yes, permanently), so you bet I'm going to try this recipe as soon as possible. Perhaps this weekend. And again next weekend. Snarf.

And yes, my lifted mood from yesterday is still lifted. Progress! It didn't hurt that the sun was very shiny and bright as I walked to work this morning. My eyelashes were frozen together by the time I got to the office (it's negative eight right now and no, that is not including wind chill), but hey, sun!

Then I painted my nails bright blue. That's "Yodel Me On My Cell" for you OPI affectionados.

Part of my soul just died

Friends, this is a fairly crushing blow. I might not be able to, in good conscience, order from Zappo's ever again. ( Cut for damning image which may or may not be work-safe, depending on if you work in an English department )
