I think I just need to live closer... that would make a weekend trip much more doable.
As for the tutu... they come in all different lengths, but I kinda feel like they only look good on certain body types. Mine is just not one of them.
But..closer to which park?
I bet you would look amazing in a tutu!
Honestly, I didn't think about shorts or no shorts. I just pictured the high movement of the tutu. That would distract me no matter what.
Oh thank goodness. And yes, the movement is distracting. But the thing that gets me the most about them is if a taller woman is wearing a very poofy one, and I'm trying to pass her (say, if I'm on the "run" part of my "run/walk" and she's on the "walk" part) at a normal distance, her tutu which goes beyond a normal distance between her body and mine ends up hitting my arm. And tutu material is rather scratchy, and I am a sensitive little snowflake, LOL.
Also, a really irritable jogger.
I pity my brother (for DL Half) and my buddy (for W&D). Seriously. I should have them talk with my teammates from college, to find out what a whiner-butt I can be.
Or maybe I can grow up and try to keep it all inside.
(the second to last paragraph I started singing "do you wanna build a snowman" in my head because of "buddy" turning into "we used to be best buddies" in my head.
and in the last paragraph I started singing the "Let It Go" song because of the conceal, don't reveal lyrics.
Frozen really gets into your head!)
ETA: Robert's gone back to the UK. Sigh. Today was a weirdly gloomy day (while being really hot still), sort of nostalgic though for what I don't know (maybe for living in South Carolina when I was young and even more naive or something), and just not a great day to start his trip. But as we got to the airport I checked email (he was driving) and we had been invited to a friend's pool for the afternoon, so that was nice. But again, weird day.
Non-gloomy, though...I was able to hand down a bunch of Eamon's stuff to a friend of mine AND I met her son! E's last carseat/booster, some "step 1" books, a whole bunch of clothes including many pajamas...so excited about that.
