As I write that title I realize that I have a foundation by Almay by that exact same name, but of no consiquence, because I was nearly rendered to that state this morning. Yes, let me explain.

I wore this darling vintage houndstooth dress to work. Very cute, a little on the short side and very tight in the shoulders. I know I am a broad shouldered girl, but this was to the point where it was uncomfortable to make any sudden unplanned motions. Well, in the hustle and bustle of the morning, I made a sudden motion without first consulting my shoulder, forearm and any other accessory body parts I might have negelected, only to be greeted with a loud and cheerful RIP! The arm to my beautiful dress now dangled by a few precarious threads. (Who said they don't make things like they used to? Thank the good Lord or we would be a colony of exhobitionists or something of the sort.) So, here was my shoulder and surrounding areas, naked! For God and everyone to see! Most traumatizing I assure you!

But, I can also assure you, I did not huddle under my desk, nor did I denude the other arm in an attempt to be stylish. I was the very definition of grace under pressure, merely keeping my arm clamped to my side until my sister could come to my rescue with a hints-of-ati outfit, but clothing nonetheless! What was even more amusing, was that the quick wardrobe change prompted comments across the office about what a wonderful dresser I am, fashion plate and generally how stylish I am. Right. That's why I was practically streaking in the office.


In other news, Laura and I have taken the first steps in adopting a puppy. No labrodoodles for us!

This odd narrative is my life. I ended up in Pittsburgh, of all places--from the beach. I have no hobbies, other than cooking excessively and eating microwave popcorn. I enjoy shopping, the Food network, hiding the remote so the Food network cannot be turned off, find ethnic food stores and restaurants and reading voraciously. My life is decidedly pedestrian.


I worked in the car business where I was required to be ruthless and soul-less wench, which is when I started this project. Since then, I've kept it up because secretly, I've always wanted to join the military. Every male in my mother's family has joined and I quietly entertain thoughts of joining. I haven't yet and don't know if I ever will, but sending the troops cookies keeps me sane. it makes me think I still have a shred of human kindness left in my withering soul. it's a small way for me to salute the men and women who are brave enough to fight for freedom. And makes me feel like I'm contributing toward troop morale--even if I'm not. So if you want to help, send me addresses of troops you know stationed overseas. you may also contribute toward the cost of chocolate chips, but don't feel obligated, that link is here only by request.
