No Longer Able To Convince Self That Face-Plants and Other Hopeless Acts of Klutziness Build Character, Minneapolis Woman Considers Charm School

Women who enjoy wearing wide-legged cuffed pants, as I do from time to time, find themselves in a dangerous predicament when they decide to pair said pants with heels. The problem, of course, is that sometimes the heel catches in the cuff of those lovely, willowy-legged linen pants whilst the fashion victim attempts to take a graceful step away from her former boss after giving him a quick good-bye hug following a lunch date. I am thankful--I mean, our hypothetical victim is thankful--that I (she) managed to catch my(her)self on the glass window of the Barnes & Noble rather than grabbing at the sleeve of former boss's jacket to avoid the fall/further embarassment.

Yesterday jL and I saw 1776 at the Guthrie. It was a fun show to watch, sillier than I expected. Ate at Cue again. Cue sucked again. I'm done going there. It was a fun weekend, I feel like we just bopped around from place to place to place. Wedding on Saturday, Burlesque show, drinks with friends, etc. It will feel nice to spend a night at home lounging around and reading. I have a bunch of fresh tomatoes that I would like to turn into a nice chunky soup. Does anyone have a good recipe?

(1) I saw 1776 on Saturday and it was actually a lot of fun.

(2) I had a wide legged pants/high heels incident that involved a flight of stairs at the law school. The flight that leads into the atrium. It was ugly. I'm glad yours didn't lead to rug burn on your face.

Misery loves company, so I'm glad others share the wide-legged pant/heels problem! I've almost fallen down hospital stairs so many times . . .

Oooooooo...look at all those tasty recipes! I made a soup using all fresh ingredients from my CSA share. It was decent and fresh-tasting, but not great.
