Go Wendy!

There's so much going on in politics this week! I was most blown away by the sheer willpower (and back strength) of Texas state senator Wendy Davis, who empowered many, many women with her 11-hour filibustering feat.

I can't wait to see where this woman's determination takes her. Time to put up a Wendy Davis Google Alert.

In honor of Wendy and her pink shoes:

"Wendy"

K2 makeover

Ok, maybe I feel kind of bad for being so negative about my skis -- they have, after all, carried me a long way, and despite all my attempts to destroy them, have remained pretty intact (grrr). Plus, they were a gift, and I don't want to seem too ungrateful. 

Still, the design on my skis is something I'd be attracted to if I were still 12 years old (back then, I had a clear backpack and a giant pink binder covered in garish roses). So if I had the chance to rework the design while staying true to the skis' essential girly-ness, I would focus in on those pink hues that sort of drive me crazy. And that's what I did. 

Finally, in a gesture of appreciation and the tiniest bit of emasculation, I've named the new version of my Tru Luvs as.... drumroll... "TONI"! :)
