But I wish you could just experience it from in here. A bunch of us HBS partner women have been getting together for a weekly potluck over the summer. Tonight Meg hosted (and oh, that strawberry shortcake! Mmm, was it good!). I get to her apartment, and of course, the first thing I do is say, &#8220;hello,&#8221; and the second thing I do is head for the bathroom. It&#8217;s just kind of a given at this point. The bathroom is all of fifteen feet from the front door. Only, while I&#8217;m in the bathroom, I look down and realize my shoes aren&#8217;t on my feet. And the first thing that crosses my mind is, &#8220;Gee, did I drive all the way from Arlington to Cambridge and then walk four blocks without noticing I was barefoot?&#8221; The second thought  I had was that that was nonsense and I must have taken them off at the door, although I had no recollection of doing so. It then it occurred to me that walking into a room full of people and just removing items of clothing&#8211;even shoes&#8211;is not the most polite thing to do. But hey, at least it was just my shoes. What happens when the heat gets to me and I just automatically take off my pants or hike up my shirt? Yikes, that&#8217;s a scary thought. Luckily, tonight, I was able to contain myself. Can&#8217;t say the same for Brown Brown though. At one point, Kara exclaimed, &#8220;Oh my God, your stomach is moving!&#8221; Sure enough Brown Brown was sticking some limb out in some odd direction and my stomach was going along for the ride.  Now that we&#8217;re in private, he&#8217;s sitting tight. Sitting tight on my ribs, that is. Move it already!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know I talk a lot about the fact that my brain is not up to par these days.
