In case it helps, that word stitched in sequins over “quickly” is “glory.” Because that’s really going to help you a lot, yeah?
Because nothing says “classic” like values slightly greater than the speed of light.
New, from the makers of “fire engine green” and “purple cab”:
What’s this an acronym for?
Oh wait, an acronym’s supposed to spell a word…
I’m not sure you need to be that athletic… or maybe I’m doing it wrong.
You may remember that I took a couple of days off at the beginning of the month and made my quarterly trek down to the coastal town of Kaş, and across the bay on the short ferry to our nearest Greek island, Meis. This of course was my first time to make the trip since getting a grown-up camera, so I took full advantage. I’ve finally gotten all the photos uploaded, and since the summer is quickly coming to a close I thought this would be a good time to share them.
Kaş is often referred to as the “jewel of the Turkish Riviera”; Meis as “Greece’s most beautiful secret.” In my experience, both reputations are well-deserved. I’m hoping there’s something in these photo sets for everyone— although both places are marketed as sun-and-sea resorts, there’s a lot more to them than that, and I hope it comes across in these pictures. Enjoy.
Four if you count the balloon:
I was going to make a furry joke, but… let’s not go there.

Real progress: I moved up to Week Two this week, and… drum roll… I’m doing real, live boy pushups, finally. In fact, I did 21 of them today. The gain in strength seems to be accelerating. Very pleased with that.
I’m still having one problem that I’ve been experiencing since the beginning, though— when I do pushups, I do them very slowly because if I speed up, it feels like my collarbone is going to snap in two. I read something online that said this is not unheard of, and tucking the chin into the chest can help because it rounds out the top of the spine and takes some pressure off the collarbone. Indeed tucking my chin does help a lot, but now that I’m doing more pushups (and harder ones), the problem still creeps back in after the 10th or 12th pushup. I’m told it won’t ever completely go away, but that I shouldn’t be afraid because despite what it feels like, my collarbone won’t break. The internet wouldn’t lie to me, so I’m just going to believe what I’ve read. I’m the freak who has too much calcium in her diet and has never had a single broken bone or any dental work whatsoever, so I think I’m pretty strong in that department.
As always, I’m curious about your own 100 pushups saga, so please do chime in!
