Well No, She Isn't (Pretty in Pink)

...But since when has that stopped me?

(Gawd, that mirror is really dirty. Sorry).

This isn't just another polyester pants-suit, this is a home-sewn (not by me) polyester pants-suit I picked up in Iowa, the place where polyester pants-suits go to die, but never really do.

Lookit them pockets! You could stick a hymnal, and a bottle of blackberry brandy in there, and still have room for a couple Maid Rite sandwiches.

Elastic waistband too. That's for later, when you go to the Sizzler for steak and all you can eat salad bar. You don't want something like trousers getting in your way of a full value for your dollar. No sir.

 

 

 
This time of year though, it makes sense to dress in layers.

 

Because you can't rely on a layer of fat to keep you warm.

Yes, I did burn my ear with the curling wand.

 

Sadly, I didn't get to wear my beautiful pink suit to the Sizzler steak house for all you can eat salad bar, but instead spent the morning sitting at the allergist's office with Danny. He's doing better, but she brought up weekly jabs, and the kiddo kind of lost it there for a few minutes. I can't really blame him, having gone through it when I was his age.

Here's to a much-needed weekend!
