Let's Talk Fashion


I know I've never been known for my style. No one has ever said, "Hey, there's Suzanne, she's always dressed just right." It isn't me. And I'm okay with that. 

I did, however, birth an offspring that these words can be said about. How that happened I'll never know, but my girl has style. Lots of style.

Anyway, can we talk about fashion rules a little?
I mean the basic ones. 
The ones I'm pretty sure no one is talking about anymore.

#1 - Please don't wear a dark bra under a light shirt. This is not attractive. No one wants to see your bra. Your bra has one purpose. To keep the girls in place.

#2 - While we're talking about the girls....yeah, I'm totally going there. Can we keep them out of sight? I am so tired of seeing boobs. One of the reasons I prefer winter to summer is that the boobs stay hidden for the most part.

#3 - This is along the same lines as #1. If you wear dark underwear please don't wear them under light colored pants. This is not a good look on anyone. 

#4 - While we're talking about pants...sometimes we all gain a few pounds and our pants "still fit". Well, just because you can get them zipped doesn't mean that they fit. Do a backside check in your mirror. If you can't see back there then have someone take your picture and show you. You might be surprised at what the rest of us have to see.

#5 - Belly shirts are not for grown women. I'm sorry, they just aren't. They look cute on little girls, but not on big girls. I saw one a few weeks ago that was showing stretch marks to the world. No, just no.

#6 - Yoga pants. Do I really need to say anything more about this? They were made for yoga. If you aren't doing yoga then don't wear them. If you have to wear them then please, I beg you, just wear them at home.

#7 - Leggings. Very similar to yoga pants. Very few women can pull these off without wearing something that covers them to mid-thigh. I'm talking like 2% of women. Most likely this isn't you (I know it isn't me!) Leggings can be cute, but they can also show way too much. It's best to get a tunic or long sweater and just be comfy and fun with that look.

#8 - If you are showing a camel-toe then you need to change your pants. This should never ever be seen. It's just ick. 

#9 - Just because it comes in your size does not mean you should wear it. You know what I'm talking about. I'm sure you've seen it at the mall. Or Walmart.

And that is my little lesson for today. Tune in next time when we discuss deodorant and soap.

Selling items on Craigslist and common scams

I'm selling a couple of things on Craigslist. I've done this a few times before and always, the first interested parties I hear from are scammers. This time in my listing I specified that I will not take money orders and asked that scammers not contact me.

The Tool Box

I can hear my husband clanging tools around in the garage. He's going through his twenty-four year collection and putting together a tool box for our twenty-two year old son.  Gulp. When did we become parents of an adult who is able to move out and live on his own? He's coming home tomorrow to collect the furniture he's chosen from our house and some other things. He's been gone for a few years but has always come home for summer and holidays. This time it's permanent. There won't be any more summers at home. I won't have to tiptoe around while he's still sleeping. I won't have to chase him out of the shower because he's been in there for a very long time. I won't have to buy Cooper cheese or boxes of Macaroni & Cheese anymore.  The tool box Wayne is putting together for him will last him many years. He'll hang pictures, tighten bolts, and fix small accidents with it. It'll stay by his side as he begins new chapters...

Sweet Zoey

 Zoey - August 10, 2020 When we found her I didn't realize I needed her. Sure, she needed us, she was living in woods, alone, surviving on whatever she could find. She was nine months old, the vet later told me when I took her in for a check-up, still unsure I wanted to keep this undernourished mutt. We'd been on vacation in southwest Missouri, near the Arkansas border, in the middle of the woods. I was on the porch when I saw her trotting down the dirt road. A little brown dog. I whistled and she stopped to look at me from across the lawn. Then she continued on her way. Later that night, the family was watching a movie we'd brought (no cable service out there!) and suddenly this furry face popped up in the window, scaring my husband out of his seat. We fed her some people food and went to bed.  She was still there in the morning. We asked around and no one knew where she came from. We fed her some more and she stayed. The next day we went and bought some dog food, f...
