you know you are one of the oldest people in the room when

baby got back comes on and the youngest ones just stand there like they've never it heard it before. and even older when they are completely dumbfounded by ice ice baby.

identified that i've hit the mid-winter blue,s but am trying to do something about it. and recognizing it is helpful. seriously i hate this lack of sunlight/daylight shit. i was ready to go to bed at 6:30. marathon is in la for the next week and a half and then i go to fl for mickey's bachlorette bash. hopefully my waist line won't have increased anymore by then.

did freelance visitor survey work at bbg today, and was freezing inside. as i say roobis to the rescue.
