Randomness

Life has been busy at the PLRH house and at work too. I’m pooped. I’m tired. I haven’t been able to come up with a coherent blog post in days.

The pulled muscle in my thigh seems to be healing. I bought a thigh sleeve a couple of weeks ago and have been wearing it since. The added compression and support makes a tremendous difference. I really thought that I could get back to being active in another week but then I woke this morning and my thigh hurt. What could I have done to it while I was asleep???

Last night at the high school we attended the Senior Awards ceremony. My husband, several of the presenters, and the faculty commented on the 5-inch high heeled shoes many of the girls were wearing. I didn’t have an issue with the shoes but rather the hemlines on the skirts and dresses of the young ladies. One girl walked on stage wearing a white, skin-tight skirt. If someone had dropped a Quarter the entire auditorium would have gotten an eyeful.

During their 4-year high school career, the Class of 2011 (about 435 students) worked over 46,000 volunteer hours. That’s the most any class has done in the school’s history. How cool is that?

Energy Star recommends that ceiling fans spin counter-clockwise for optimal cooling. But when the heat is on in the house, the direction of the fan should be reversed to clockwise to help the warm air gathered at the ceiling circulate around the room. What I’d like to know… Is the opposite true in Australia?

Dear Michael Kors… Love you, love your clothes. You’ve drawn on everything that was fabulous in the late 70s and early 80s and made it modern. You design clothes that make a 41-yr-old mother of two teenagers feel young, hip, sexy, and fashionable. I only have one question… Why, oh why do you insist using cheap, stiff polyester tags in your clothing that scratch the heck out of my neck and cause me to use an X-acto knife to cut them out?
