go green, a photo by EP Holcomb on Flickr.

The Boy’s mother told me that his cousin was running in a St. Patrick’s Day race, and perhaps I could contact her with some costume ideas? So I messaged her something along the lines of: Are you aware that I have an extravagant and ridiculous costume collection from years of keeping everything/going to Burning Man 3 times??? If you need a wig, boa, any kind of gaudy accessory or neon spandex, I’m your woman!

So true! Not to mention that my favorite color is green, and I have a LOT of green clothing. Shirts, pants, tights…no green wig anymore, but lots of green eyeshadow. Wait a minute, this is a race, probably in the rain, knowing Seattle. Then again, who says you can’t race in eyeshadow? Eyeshadow should be mandatory.

She’s coming over today with her two-year old which means the Boy and I need to do a real quick clean of the house to give the illusion that we’re not filthy. I also need to run the big flat magnet Fleeta gave me over the living room carpet for stray pins, as our kitchen table has become my Pettipants Work Station. I know I should use the sewing room but the t.v.’s not in there, and I need to be able to absorb “Project Runway” while I sew. Also my latest interest, “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”. I know! I know! I never watched it the first time around…I am always hopelessly behind.
