Christmas Loot - Returns

Monday, December 27, 2010

Hubby gave me three really cool hoodies and some gloves for Christmas...all the wrong size. He said he was afraid the hoodies would be too large when in fact they were too small.

Bless his heart, in his eyes I'm still that little slip of a girl he married 30 years ago. I so love him for that. He can make that kind of sizing mistake year after year after year.

But he thinks I have gigantic hands.

So tonight we exchanged the three little girly hoodies and big boy gloves for one big boy hoodie and two pairs of little girly gloves and a girly scarf...just exactly what I needed.

He's such a sweetie. I think I'll keep him around for a while longer.

Process notes: Those red bows on the gloves aren't permanent fixtures. That would be waaay too girly-girl for me.

Added bonus of buying stuff today: 60% off after-Christmas sale!

Lake Effect Laundry

Journaling:

The problem with enjoying a day on the lake is the day after doing laundry. Hand washed a bunch of stuff just to de-funkify it *before* it went in the washing machine. Must have a chat with Hubby about wearing white socks with surf shoes.

This red hat (<--pointy arrow) got thrown into the laundry basket still sopping wet. The red dye ran onto the whites and stained them pink. Had to wash and bleach the load twice to get it all out. Joy.

Triplet Attack!

Journaling:

The triplets showed up unexpectedly at noon for an overnight visit, so the attic work order is on indefinite hold. All three of us spent every moment herding babies for the rest of the day and night. I drew their shoes after they went to bed because that was the only part of them that stayed still.

Poppy grilled teriyaki chicken (special request from me) for an early Memorial Day cookout. He also grilled huge portobello mushrooms and zucchini spears. Yum! The trips didn't care for the zucchini and all the pieces got handed back to Nana.

The trip with the snotty nose showered me with a sneeze. Joy.

My Nightshirt

I think this was my grandmother's originally. It showed up in the massive yard sale we had after the final clean-out of her house.

It looked brand new so I snatched it up and have been wearing it ever since*. Got a matching one in blue too.

Yes, I'm pitiful, wearing my dead grandma's hand-me-downs.

*Ever since - My 10th grade English teacher just cringed.

Change of Seasons

Instead of rewriting all my thoughts in pretty lettering, I made two little privacy edits and let 'er fly. Hope my writing is legible.

My summer uniform: t-shirt, shorts, plastic crocs.

My winter uniform: hoodie, turtleneck, jeans, leather crocs.

I have a thing for pink hoodies. Been a tomboy all my life but have suddenly developed a love for All Things Pink.

The Monk hoodie is huge and comes almost to my knees. I look like Friar Tuck wearing it.
