That just about sums up my feeling at the moment....no wait, scratch that...
...that's more accurate. I'll leave it at that.
Thank god for makeup, because I feel complete shit.
I'm not saying an eyebrow pencil and lippy can change my disposition, but at the very least, I won't scare small children. I do remember some sort of "Mood lipstick" in the 70's that changed colour when you applied it, but it didn't do squat for your mood. Someone needs to make an amphetamine-based lippy. They could call it, "Pucker-upper."

Can you see Angus MacHaggis hanging on the door? We're the only people in the neighbourhood that decorate for Burns Night. January is sort of dull if you don't find a reason to celebrate. Maybe getting drunk and reciting poetry to a vegetarian haggis isn't your idea of fun. We'll take whatever we can get.
We spent the afternoon at Standing Bear Lake. Danny spotted an American Bald Eagle in a tree overlooking the lake. Danny though it looked sad. I thought it looked incredulous.
I'll leave it here as I don't have much else to offer.
My feelings mirror your own.
ReplyDeleteLove your earrings... and your necklace... and that massive green ring... and the embroidery on that waistcoat.
Hope it's just going down, before going up...
I'd have a go at getting drunk and reciting poetry to a haggis. Beats getting drunk and singing to the cats, which is standard behaviour round our way.
ReplyDeleteThe world has to hit Peak Stupid soon, and then it will all subside and go back to normal.
How about a MotherPucker lippy? Laced with epinephrine, dextramphetamine & caffeine to get you all antsed up & pissy?
ReplyDeleteSorry about my double comment last post, my ultra high speed internet connection crashes about every 45 minutes now. Ugh.
I like your 70's does Tyrolean outfit!
Sorry Mim, we passed 'peak stupid' about 6 months ago and are now into 'intractably stupid' (which seems to be interminable too.) See where this misinformation superhighway got us?
Do you make the veggie haggis yourself? Very likely a silly question since I am 99% sure you do! JanF
ReplyDeleteHaha! Laughing about previous comment for MotherPucker Lippy.
ReplyDeleteI am besotted with that embroidered waistcoat! I won't lie, I zoomed in on the picture so I could examine the details. I'm creepy, I know.
Hopefully that sad bald eagle will find something scrumptious to eat. Like a nice tasty mouse.
Happy Robbie Burns!! And
Happy thrifting ;)
@Radostin
ReplyDeleteNowhere to go but up at this point.
@Mim
I'll bet the cats love being sung to.
@Bibi
I like Mother Pucker better!
Oh god, I definitely wasn't going for Tyrolean!
@Jan
I use an old recipe from the Vegetarian Society using pin head oats, red lentils and mashed kidney beans. We like it. I made some griddled oatcakes as well, instead of baking them.
@Thrifty Parka
Nah, that's not creepy-I get excited by nice embroidery too.
@bibi @goody
ReplyDeleteIt already exists - and actually, it's good stuff.

I could have done with that lippy this week, as I've had some "two fingers" days too. I'll have a look at Mim's suggestion ... Anyway, love that embroidered waistcoat. And the brooch! xxx
ReplyDeletePucker up is brilliant! Market it immediately!
ReplyDeleteI have loads of long sleeved t shirts, too, so useful.
What fab accessories and the waistcoat is lovely. I meant to say in the previous post how fab you look with your hair up.
I'm so envious about the eagle. There's a place in Ireland where Golden Eagles are common so I must pay it a visit when I'm next there.
A double flipping!!! Good for you, oh and your waistcoat is delish!!
