Whenever my girls visit, which is usually one-at-a-time, I learn so many things.  Learned a couple of new terms from Elizabeth this week.

1. BASE LAYER

This is what you wear underneath everything else to keep you warm.  Bought a really good set at REI, then returned it when Elizabeth introduced me to Icebreaker and I discovered the very same thing at that store for half the money.  Oregon is a great place to shop.

I did find the illustration on the Icebreaker shopping bag to be somewhat troubling, though.

 

2. RESTING BITCH FACE

I take great comfort in learning that this is such a common phenomenon there is actually a name for it.  I was lamenting that my resting facial expression used to be pleasant, with up-turned mouth corners.  Now that gravity has taken its toll, that is not the case.  I have to work really hard at it to maintain a friendly expression.  Boo immediately responded, “Oh, yeah.  Resting bitch face.  Everybody gets that.”  I feel so much better.

Looks like one of our county’s leaders has had a little problem with gravity too:
