Odds and ends

I recently bought some clothes. I’ve gained enough weight that I couldn’t face wearing clothes that didn’t fit. I was down to one pair of jeans and just didn’t want to repeat my mountain hippie work clothes look any more. I bought my stuff from Etsy. The store is called Coco and Juan, with the business located in California. These clothes are not made in China. It’s a style known as Lagenlook. Basically you wear loose unfitted layers. I spent roughly $300 which is a lot for me. I bought a dress, skirt,pants, a couple of tops and several layering tees. Now I have been working with a naturopathic doctor on weight loss and am a week into a low carb diet. I can wear these clothes if I’m successful in losing weight. I don’t feel overdressed. And this is a very comfortable way to dress. I’m going to keep adding some pieces.

On the geek front, Lon has a new Atrix2. His old Flipside became unusable this week. He loves the idea of having a lapdock for his phone (which we’ll pick up maybe next week). I’m still not an Android fan but it seems to be a nicer phone than he’s had so far. This time, I’m going to teach him how to use it. If he’s going to keep getting smartphones, it’s time he really uses one.

I have a new favorite app, #todo. It’s very clever. Tags like #today, #nextweek, #work set up a due date or a repeat or just a tag to filter. #list lets you create a list within the todo. And you can add a picture to a todo. It’s not as full featured as Life Balance but it’s a fairly new app.

I have been happily using my G5 Mac with Tiger. It’s odd because I spend all day logged into my work PC which is XP. When I get out of the remote session, I’m back in OSX. I’d considered getting a copy of Leopard but think I will leave it as is.

Lots of other stuff going on but will wait until it sorts itself out before I post about it.
