Be flexible when the boat comes in

In my continuing efforts to achieve My Perfect Squat, I have: More hip-opening exercises! I started incorporating these movements yesterday with the exception of Super Frog, which I can't due to lack of weight plates at home. Those first ones, in the runner's lunge? Those are intense. I can't get even close to having my elbows on the ground. Yet.

Even though I have a short day at the office today, I still felt like this about coming to work.



The faculty administrators are taking the staff (i.e. those of us without tenured teaching positions) out for drinks at 3:00. FUCK YEAH.



For dinner I shall attempt dining at a restaurant for the first time since New Year's Day. We're headed to the Burger Stand because I figure a Kobe Beef Burger on a bed of greens should be marginally okay. Just no salad dressings (even their oil & vinegar is made with soybean oil) or fries (unless their duck fat fries are 100% duck fat, no canola, etc.).

And tomorrow: VACATION DAY!

Topping Friday's agenda is packing away my winter clothes finally. It's unbelievable that it was necessary to keep my warm clothes out for this long. Granted, I haven't been layering, but still. Sheesh.

Seasoned iPod users: Is there a way to shuffle a playlist on an iPod classic? I can only get songs to play in the order I added them to the playlist--which means albums are always clumped together. Not optimal for a playlist, IMO. Is there any way to mix them up without dragging everything around by hand?

The burger was small, the greens miniscule, and the whole experience was unsatisfying. I shan't be going back. =(

Well, *that's* disappointing! I hate it when a good place goes downhill.
At least you won't miss it.

Oh, they're still delicious, but without all the goodies (and a sadly small amount of greens), she just didn't have much to eat. Next time, I shall ask for a LOT of salad under the burger.

It used to be so much that I could pick through it for the best bits. Wah! At least I will know to ask next time, too.
