While Jonathan was at lunch bunch today, I fulfilled a promise made this last weekend to my Auntie Rita and went down south to the Nordstrom’s at Barton Creek Mall, where I acquired a free Danskin 2003 triathlon memory book for myself and one for Jennifer. I also looked around in at least three stores for something to wear to Grama Sprong’s memorial service, but rather like Jfer’s freakishly long femur, my arms appear to be freakishly short! I don’t remember having that problem before. Maybe they’ve shrunk since I’ve become a mother. I found a couple of very nice outfits that fit perfectly except for the sleeves being just too long; I looked like a 5-yr-old playing dress-up. I did manage to get a whole bunch of stuff for Jonathan though, and nearly everything was on sale. He’s grown so much this year that none of his things from last winter are going to fit him—the sweatpants come halfway up his calves, and the sleeves on the shirts are all way too short and tight in the chest.
So, as my reward for shopping and as a general relaxing technique and finally just because I deserve it, tomorrow morning I am indulging in a full manicure and pedicure at the Anne Kelso Salon & Day Spa. May I say that I am looking forward to it greatly.

We both suffer the curse of short arms - must be a paternal trait for you. I always expect to have to shorten sleeves. The waist could be longer, too, and the weight - lighter!
