Dear all,
After further contemplation I have decided to add an addendum to the What's Hot and What's Not list:
What's Hot: Science and being a science geek in any way
Kimbra
Free ice cream anywhere, including at Jason's Deli
Not giving up
Reading an actual book
Dave Eggers
Small towns, if there is a reason for you to go there
Google Maps
What's Not: Hummers
Tank Tops With An Unmatching Bra
Looking like you tried too hard when you dressed up
The freezer
Having too many Pick-up trucks in Dallas (Includes any make or model)
My mom and I and one other person were having a discussion about how Queen Elizabeth, who is celebrating 60 years as queen, supposedly rides her horse 3 times a week. Then my mom said, "I challenge the queen to run a marathon."
What'll it be, queenie?
Have a Monday,
Alice

The other day I posted about a t-shirt that states, "Strong is the New Skinny." The site that I mentioned in my last post is not the only place to buy the shirt.
To see Strong Is The New Skinny on facebook, click on the link. The End...

Trying To Avoid College-y Conversations. And What's Hot, What's Not
Hello all,
In my class I just started recently:
Most people are college-aged, some from different universities. During a period of down-time, everyone started chatting, some were discussing what schools they are from, some were talking about summer plans, and also other things. I am much older than these folk.
It is very interesting that college-age people have their own mannerisms, their own selection of topics to be united about, their own almost everything. I just think this is important to note!
Summing it up, I sometimes try to stay out of these conversations. If I discuss my life history with someone who is currently in college, I try to keep it very general, so as not to have an awkward conversation or maybe so I don't have to reveal that I'm not in college for the first time. Yes ... ease and simplicity works.
I have an amazing ability to blend in and appear 25, which has served me well.
I do have gray hair. It is usually not noticed, or ignored. (I had gray hair at 24, if you must know) I would be way more uncomfortable in the classes I am currently taking if I did not have this ability to blend.
I'm glad to be 35, but thinking I'm younger is not a crime.
In honor of a book I am reading by Dave Eggers, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, which includes a brief What's Hot/What's Not list, here is my completely spontaneous list of What's Hot, and What's Not
What's Hot: Going to the YMCA or gym at your college, apartment, or workplace
Coupons and lobbying for your consumer rights
This blog
Water at 212 F
Anderson Cooper, but not his daytime TV Show
Strong Is The New Skinny T-shirts
What's Not:
Complaining about your facebook app when you are on a plane (I have heard this).
Other blogs
Fitness Clubs
Carly Rae Jepsen
Sweatpants, almost any time unless you are a mom
No music news.
The End.
