A run will always cheer you up !
Very true but I’m on the bench from running at the moment. I’m getting a pedicure in a bit. Hopefully it shall boost my mood
Thank you so much! I hope you’re having a wonderful day as well
Thank you. I remember thinking your hair looks wonderful in one of your posts. I am tempted to go for the chop too.
Hair grows back! I was shy and deleted my comment earlier but I’ll say it now - I simply love your freckles. All this glam and makeup frenzy that’s out there these days is missing the mark!
I’ll second that Rosa. I love your freckles too Stephanie
That’s very kind of you Rosa, thank you. I got asked the other day if I had drawn them on and for a moment I thought she was having me on but apparently you can buy a freckle pen. Shows how up to date I am.
Thank you very much Caroline, it’s really kind of you.
That made me laugh! I saw a clip of someone drawing on freckles. Utterly bonkers.
I’ll have to look it up now.
I’ll agree on the freckles too. @beardson
When I saw them I was immediately reminded of a wonderful line in a Jane’s Addiction song, Summertime Rolls, where they are describing a woman’s freckles and use the phrase:
Her nose is painted pepper-sunlight
I’ve always found it a most poetic and beautiful descriptor.
Amazing song with tremendous lyrics - so many wonderful phrasings. Full set below, and link to YouTube song.
Fell into a sea of grass
And disappeared among the shady blades
Children all ran over me
Screaming “tag”
“You are the one”
He trips her as her sandals fail
She says: “stop, I’m a girl”
Whose fingernails are made
Of a mother’s pearl
Yellow buttercup
Helicopters
Orange buttercat
Chasing after the crazy bee
Mad about somebody, oh no
Me and my girlfriend
Don’t wear no shoes
Her nose is painted pepper-sunlight
She loves me
I mean it’s serious, as serious can be
Well, she sings a song
And I listen to what it says
Well, if you want a friend
Feed any animal
There’s so much space
I could cut me a piece
With some fine wine
It brought peace to my mind
In the summertime
And it rolled
Summer
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, summertime rolls
Summer
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, summertime rolls
Oh, summer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, summertime rolls
Summer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, summertime rolls
Me and my girlfriend
Don’t wear no clothes, you know
Her nose is painted pepper-sunlight
I love her, I mean it’s, so so serious
As serious can be*

Aybee, that’s one of my favorite JA songs, possibly the favorite.
That whole album was massive for me in high school, and I still listen to it at least a few times a year.
A genuine masterpiece.
Still fresh today
For sure. Very few albums in my life have hung on with me for ~20 yrs while I still listen to it regularly, and don’t just go back for an occassional visit.
You two London ( or close to) girls look tres sophisticated and ohh so gorgeous and alcohol free! @Jana1988 are you engaged? and @beardson
Stephanie, you ate your food in the dark? If you can get food into your Mouth, w the fork in the dark, that means lots of your neuro stuff is in great shape! Did you enjoy it?
Difficult weekend for me, being unable to eat without extreme pain after a dental surgery. Brought back some old ED thoughts. Went back to the dentist today to patch back my mouth to ease the pain and now I’m finally able to eat some soup without any pain Now hoping for a nice night of sleep! We’ll see…
Day 110 and hoping that dental story will not bring me back to my bad habits. Staying strong
Congrats dude! Good stuff!
