MY LAUNDRY ROOM HAS BLACK 'PAINTED' WINDOWS? HUH

Here we are back at home, surprise, surprise car and truck belonging to Ex parked neatly in the back yard, just like old home day. Of course I acted surprised that he was there. Actually I was despite what the Real Estate person told me. She didn’t tell me he was living there; somewhere inside me I... Sign in to see full entry.

OOPS! SOMEBODY DROPPED A BOMB, WONDER WHO?

I spent that Saturday night planning my new mode of operation. The children were pouting. They thought it was all my fault that their daddy had left without so much as a goodbye. I don’t think I slept at all that night. I knew what I wanted to do. I knew that I was able to do it except for the... Sign in to see full entry.

IT WAS A VIRGINIA SLIM MOMENT!

Perhaps I would feel to shy to tell you all this had it been a different time. But I had never had a drink of alcohol at this point. I had never slept with another man except the one I was married to. Did that make me a prude? No. Did it make me a saint? No. I was a product of my upbringing. I... Sign in to see full entry.

WHICH WAS GREATER MY EXCITMENT, MY FEAR OR MY GUILT?

I soon saw I was in way over my head. The job was spectacular. But home life was anything but. The children had a great school. It was an experimental one and my twelve year old was helping write and edit a school newspaper. The six year old had great arts and language classes. None of that seemed...

AN INBETWEEN POST SOME EXAMPLES AND A LITTLE SHOW & TELL

Both of these dresses are vastly different and done in different eras and for totally different lifestyles. The first one is a Kelly Green Silk shirtwaist formal dress. This was done for a line at the very beginning of doing ‘Business Women’s Wear’. This was one of only ten in a group called... Sign in to see full entry.

AFTER THIS THINGS MOVED FAST - BUT THIS WAS A LONG TIME AGO

It is easy to see this was a long time ago. My grandson asked how I could get my hair that high. Oh well. I soon will be through this part of the saga and in to working design. This was before most of you were born. My 30th birthday. 1966. We got through Christmas easily. I did get the bonus I had... Sign in to see full entry.

LIVING ONE STEP AHEAD OF DISASTER

Yes of course I can live on this. But I am in shreds like some torn remnant of cloth. A bolt caught in a farmer’s combine or some such thing. Of course I care what my parents and my husband think of me. I deserve at least this much money for my work. Why is it then that I feel like a piece of meat... Sign in to see full entry.

WOMEN! ARE THEY ONLY GOOD FOR USE AND ABUSE?

Friday morning when I came in things in my mind were still not clear. It seemed to me I had so many issues I would never be able to straighten them all out. My desk in basket was overflowing. It was obvious the boss had been here for hours. He had brought all the trip’s squirrelly things back for me... Sign in to see full entry.

Something has to give...but what and to whom!

I thought this was getting a bit heavy and perhaps boring and I put a seperation post in the middle of this one and the second back. This is the story continuation. I can’t believe my eyes. My husband is parked in my office parking lot. I have been working at the restaurant from five until ten... Sign in to see full entry.

FASHION OR STYLE IS THERE A DIFFERENCE

I am jumping ahead a bit because it appears that the story behind the race is a bit dull for most. We are going to talk a bit about how fashion is arrived at and the differences in Style and Fashion. (Photos below!) FASHION IS ARRIVED AT BY: The present stance in music, economy and current events.... Sign in to see full entry.
