Dear co-worker,
please stop putting your husband down whenever you talk about him. It's not funny, it's not a female bonding thing, at least it certainly doesn't work for me, it makes him sound like an helpless idiot and it makes you sound mean. You chose to share your life with this man, at least grant him a little respect.
Dear self,
yes, when you walk in the door at work wearing XC skiing gear, everybody does think you've been skiing already. Even if it's nine in the morning in downtown Oslo, and even though they do know you regularly change to the work clothes you keep downstairs, and regularly ski after work. Really, there is no way of getting through that door without somebody asking if you've skied to work. Just suck it up and smile.
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
