I would love to somehow arrange my work schedule so that I only work on doom-and-gloomy weather days. Like yesterday! Yesterday it rained all day, and was just generally gross. Completely dark at 1 in the afternoon–I would have gladly worked yesterday! But, I didn’t. I went fabric shopping instead…and bought some VERY exciting items!

My mother never “pushed” me to be just like her, I just gradually turned into her over the past 10 years. First coffee, then crossword puzzles, then mystery novels…

Yes please!

I’m glad Erin Fetherston finally stopped wearing her hair in those creepy, stick-straight bangs. Maybe it was a “look”, but I never cared for it. Her butterfly pants here look exactly like a shirt I had in high school–it was satin. Remember how popular satin was in the 90s? It was everywhere!

One of my hippie friend Lisa’s hippie friends made these hippie pants for me another lifetime ago, during one of my decadent, debaucherous trips up to Northern Idaho. Yikes!

I made my first trip to Goodwill yesterday, letting some things go. It’s hard for me to get rid of clothes, especially. I always think, “Should I sell this on ebay?” or, “Should I take it to a consignment store and get credit?” or just “I’m gonna donate this to Goodwill, and that’s that.” I never get rid of anything I made myself. Vintage is really hard for me to let go of, unless it’s really ugly vintage that maybe I bought when I was 20 and stoned (for example).

Last month’s hairdressing-academy-haircut. I was describing to Corinne over the phone about this technique I tried yesterday for making your bun look fluffy and elegant, not a tiny sad knot, when I suddenly remembered she doesn’t have any hair any more. Whoops! Forgetful friend! Maybe if we HUNG OUT MORE OFTEN, I’D REMEMBER. Love youuuuuu!

Today I’m making sparkly pettipants! Dreams are being realized!

* oh yes, “Dame Edna’s Neighbourhood Watch” finally came in the mail (thanks, Netflix!). Full report to come!
