You’re wearing THAT?

Note to my sister:  The next time I make a comment about what you’re wearing somewhere, just remind me that you look positively smashing compared to some of these high-powered celebs who showed up at The Emmy’s:  2009 Emmys Fashion Losers
Now I like to watch Project Runway and I can tell you that just about any of these aspiring designers would have been kicked off for the likes of some of these frocks.  I think the most ridiculous was the Barak Obama dress.  C’mon, even if you adore the guy, you have to admit the dress is tacky and a bit too much.
Not that I’d win any fashion awards, especially today.  I am running around the Hon House mismatched and out of season – a 2009 version of “the housedress” being a pair of lime green capris, a white tee with a band of red and yellow flowers, and a sea green fleece sweater with white appliqué.  Short of Publisher’s Clearing House, I hope no one comes to the door today! 


Oh never mind, I’m turning myself into the Fashion Police.  And p.s. to Ginger, I am just an annoying little sister.  You’ve got me beat with your clean, classic look.  I, on the other hand. often sport a mix of early thrift store meets Rack sale meets Land’s End.

Social Media Fast Day 1/2 I have been considering a social media fast.  Unbeknownst to me, someone I know was on a week long fast. She reported about how beneficial it was and I took that as a confirmation that this was the time for me. September 1 sneaked up on me and I had some commitments for posting some prayer requests, but once that was done, I uninstalled Facebook (my primary Social Media) form my phone. I can pretty well ignore Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like but Facebook is my constant itch that I have to keep scratching. I came to the realization that I primarily use Facebook to feed my desire for approbation.  Don't we all want to be admired and respected?  Don't we often want to be right, to have a forum where others are agreeing with our brilliance?  LOL I'm guilty. I also realize the other downside of social media for me and that's all the political vitriol.  As much as I don't get sucked into it, as much as I scroll past...

Just a few more memories

There were a few photos that I didn't post on the entry about our trip to Boca Raton.  I'm sure I have a bunch more in various places. I figure we gained 7 pounds, 700 friends, 7,000 memories and 7,000,000 photographs. Video from Awards Night

Ornament of the Day - December 1

After a year long hiatus from blogging, I'm back to muse about the ornaments hanging on our tree.  Each day I will select an ornament and tell something about where it came from and the memories that it invokes.   December 1 - Currier & Ives This ornament came to me from my parents. They got it as a gift for opening a Christmas Club. These accounts are not so popular now and they sometimes earned a bad rap for having a lot of restrictions and a low or non-existent interest rate, but back in the day they were how we paid for Christmas. Members were often given some sort of token give such as this ornament.   When I look at this ornament it takes me back to my youth and young adulthood. We'd put a few dollars into our Christmas Club each week and just after Thanksgiving we'd get our cash.  Shopping meant going "downtown".  For us, that meant downtown Scranton.   Sometimes we'd take the bus. I remember as a child how exciting it was to be downtown g...
