had lots of fun in richmond today. ashbet was putting in an appeareance at the asylum... we chatted while she did hair, boy and i browsed the selections and chatted with the owners... wandered down to another store... it was fun. i bought a nifty purse. tried on several things, which were all too big/too small in all the wrong places. oh for an extra vertebra or two.

we came home on SR 6 (a virginia scenic byway) and discovered that it took no more time than the interstate... well, had we actually known how to get to SR 6 from downtown, the time would've evened out a bit. ;) it was a really nice drive, though, and is one we shall do again.

thought about going out tonight, but realized i've done enough today. mustn't overdo things, as much as i'd like to.

Okay, I had to respond to this because it's too bizarre. I'm doing a web search for information on people with an extra vertebra for my sister who just found out she has one. Up on google comes this Live journal entry which wouldn't be all that weird except I know you! What a weird coincidence!

hiya. :)

the women in my family tend to be missing one or two vertebra.

now we know that women like your sister are stealing them all. ARRRR!

what did you think about all the sites that link an extra vertebra with proof of one being an alien? is your sis extraterrestrial?

The first thing my sister said to me was "You'd think if I was going to have an extra vertebra, I'd atleast be taller!" She's only 5'3",

The alien thing cracked me up! When I was 10 and she was 9, I told my sister that she was really an alien and we'd sawed off her antennas and dyed her with food colouring so she wouldn't be green. She believed me for, like, a day before asking my mom if it was true. My mom said, "We weren't going to tell you 'til you were older." So it became this huge family joke because she believed the alien story for a long time. I'm saving the aliens have an extra vertebra story until I go home in a couple of weeks so I can see her face!

There was a bunch of weird stuff on the search so I made a LJ entry about them last night. I love Google! And the Internet in general!

your sister and i would probably look very odd next to each other. i'm 5'2". my waist is 36" above the floor. with my short torso and her long, a side-by-side snapshot could be very confusing. ;)

and i'm glad to know i wasn't the only one who grew up in a family where the parents corroborated one's stories. ;)
