Just for ALMA-Let's show her some SMET
I was trying to explain NSV and SMET to ALMA (see her previous post today), and how we can't use that stupid box on the floor as our ONLY measure of success.
Y'all always come up with such great SMET lines..much better than I do...
Let's help our new TMB sister out with some So Much Easier To:
Walking up to a buffet line, without thinking everyone is watching to see what I'm putting on my plate...
Having to try on clothes, instead of just grabbing the biggest, ugliest thing, and making a run for it...
Riding The Titan with my son...
Using public restrooms--without ever even "thinking about it" first

put on my shoes (I no longer just wear slip on shoes because they were easier to put on)
exercise
blend in (I hated always being noticed for being the biggest person in the room- I just wanted to blend in)
play with my kids
