duck-shaped pain

Last night, it was long-sleeve t-shirts. I love long-sleeve t-shirts, but I don't need any right now. It's only August, and it's guaranteed to stay stiflingly hot here until at least the middle of October. I went to Sam's Club to get dog food (an allowed purchase, under my lengthy list of rules), and there they were, long-sleeve t-shirts. In all my favorite fall colors -- forest green, orange and -- best of all -- eggplant purple. I always know the best time of the year is about to roll around when eggplant purple arrives in the stores. It took all I had not to buy any, especially since they were only $5 apiece.

Today, all I could think about was protein shakes, even though a) I've never had a protein shake and b) I wouldn't know where to buy one around here. But the thought of rich creamy protein goodness dominated my thoughts for a good two or three hours today, distracting me from my highly! important! photo-sleeving task.
