Sadly, I wear a lot of tee shirts and jeans.) It's awesome that you guys have made so much progress! I have to find a non-fic place to plug into!

I mean, I just found this blog, by way of Jeni, and have to concur with Joel that you are just plain hilarious!<br /><br />So, I totally thought your headband was just about the cutest thing ever. The only problem I've seen with them is that I keep seeing high school & BYU students wearing them Bjorn-style, and I'm not so in love with that. Kids these days! BUT I wasn't sure if an adult could pull it off until I saw it on you -- you were so, so cute!<br /><br />*furiously knitting*smileynannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12232253319679582635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-85662972082114143792010-01-27T15:45:06.966-08:002010-01-27T15:45:06.966-08:00How did I miss this post on Monday?

I am, however, horribly gratified to learn that you can't attend WIFYR, either. :) Yes, I'm a horrible person.<br /><br />I've been thinking of getting a headband, but they must still be too fashionable, because every time I see them in the store, I can't imagine what I'd wear them to. Perhaps it's because I keep flashing back to elementary school, when we'd use our thin plastic headbands as pseudo-sunglasses during recess. Man, were were cool. How can I possibly top that?<br /><br />This weekend, despite working until 10 pm on Friday night (writing boring legal stuff) and returning on Saturday night (to visit clients in the jail)... I wrote over 2000 words just on Saturday. That's a good day, for me.<br /><br />My word verification is "hydenist"--and I have to ask: doesn't that sound like some wierd kind of doctor?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413777557796110450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-46625048618547391532010-01-25T12:12:36.628-08:002010-01-25T12:12:36.628-08:00You look frakkin' adorable with your headband....You look frakkin' adorable with your headband.<br /><br />I can't wait to wear my headband to work tomorrow.

I hear they have an extra seat just for Brandon Mull's chin dimple.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I'm not going. My entire family does a trip once a year, and it happens to fall on the same week.
