A leap: All dress-wearers are filled with joy when we discover that a dress has pockets. Y/N? Tell me I’m not alone in my pockety love here.
Nitpicking: isn’t a “bikini body” technically ANY body with a bikini on it? Why does “bikini” now = a specific shape/size, & not swimwear?
Bikini bodies? Mrs. Pierce Brosnan: http://bit.ly/j6elR / From @SubstantiaJones’ Adipositivity Project (NSFW) (Awesome) http://bit.ly/vTu6Y
Now I invoke my powers to make eShakti do my bidding by casually suggesting POCKETS. POCKETS on DRESSES. YOU SHOULD MAKE POCKETED DRESSES!
eShakti update: they replaced the dress I’d received that had the glaring fit issue, and fast. All is well. Thanks, eShakti folks!
Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise: Fleetwood Mac, “The Chain” ♫ http://blip.fm/~auy5y

What’s up with Avenue.com right now - seems like there’s very little on the site. And didn’t they used to have an activewear section?
Our CSA pickup today included fresh corn, some of which I immediately boiled when we got home so Mr 52stations could experience it. Amazing.
I went and swam laps w/ my eager suitor, LA Fitness, for 40 minutes today, and then tried out the not-very-hot spa. Lovely. Pain tomorrow.
But fun, nonetheless. Mad props to my husband for dealing with my frenzied typing, constant pausing of the DVR, and impatient shushing.
My first #moretolove recapping experience was: exhausting, depressing, thought-provoking, enraging, and ridiculous. http://bit.ly/KZqyJ

“More to Love” recap half-written; I’ll have to finish it tomorrow. Look for the finished post on fatshionista.com in the AM. #moretolove
Got a nice deal on the startup/monthly fee and 3 days to ask for a refund. So LA Fitness has 72 hours to impress me, starting tomorrow.
Checking out health club candidate #1: LA Fitness in Saugus. Minor gym anxiety. Trying not to count fat people, though it’s reassuring.
When I am a millionaire, I am building the most beautiful gym on earth and making diet/body-hating talk grounds for ejection. Just saying.

Local Fats clothing swap tomorrow. I should probably assemble some swappable clothes, but I spent too long in the sun today and am tiredddd.
Saw Harry Potter, finally. It was satisfactory.

Researching social media for work purposes is surprisingly fun and gratifying. I keep feeling like it’s not boring enough to be actual work.
