Live Free or Die

Mar 24, 2008 21:05

I have a sweatshirt, given by friends of many years in Warren NH, that I bring out on cool nights. We'll be close to 35 tonight. More on that in a moment. I don't wear it out. It has a moose, an elk, and a bear trotting along left to right, nose to tail. "Live Free or Die" appears right below, and NEW HAMPSHIRE just below that, in case you had not ( Read more... )

Daughter? Dine? In NOLA? What could be better?

Wife? Spring? Half day off?

I don't know. That's pretty close.
Travel safe!
Smiles!

I also live in fear of the American version of What Not To Wear. Those people would die of heart failure if they encountered MY wardrobe! I don't know of ANYTHING I have in my closet that they would approve of and truthfully speaking, I have strongly disliked most of what they recommend that their female victims wear--colors and clothing cuts alike. I also don't think they'd easily find a place that sells shoes that would fit the gunboats I call my feet comfortably.

Heck, I've liked the dress-ups. Part of it may be that Jackson MS is preoccupied with looks, lacking other challenges of a more difficult climate, perhaps.
I just like theater, thus Iron Chef and What Not To Wear, for example, pull my chain - or at least nibble on it. The interactions of W-N-T-W are fun, sometimes problematic, often compassionate, and (the inland MS viewpoint again) not bad for the eyes.
Now, MY closet - even worse since Katrina. Mostly it's well worn black jeans and pull-overs. At work, I keep a suit on the hook on the back of the door and a good pair of shoes under the desk. It IS a cathedral, after all. But the boiler room and belfry are awfully dusty.

And that is the reason why my closet is full of the sort of clothes I wear: I lead a dirty life.

What I wear has to be able to go from housecleaning to yardwork to the washer and dryer and then back again. It must be comfortable and it must be in colors I like. That's my one feminine vanity: My clothes must be in colors I like! Unfortunately I'm more likely to find those colors in the men's tshirt/gym shorts department than in the women's department. I've always liked the rich deep shades of red, green, purple, blue, brown, and gray. Pale heathered gray or cream is as close as I come to wearing pastel colors. I have warned my Hubby that he better not bury me in anything pastel-colored or I will haint him rattling chains and scaring cats every night for the rest of his life!

I've had episodes of perfect paralysis over women in deep greens, reds, medium to dark greys - in day to day wear-to-work, shopping, etc. These include skirts, shirts, dresses, and suits, so I'm not choosy.
Stacy of Stacy and Clinton of WNTW comes in with some saturated coolors and generous amts. of fabric.
Cutting up roots with a mattock or repairing the roof calls for a men's cut, I'll concede.
