BUSTLE and VIM

Happy Labor Day, all, and a very Happy Birthday, dear Vim!

I hope this post finds you relaxing by a pool.  Or a lake.  Or some other body of tranquil water.  Or maybe just holding a glass of yummy cocktail.  I like liquid in a lot of forms.

This past summe...

Happy Friday, everyone!    

Friday Faves makes it sound like it's my regular thing.  I know it's not, but it is Friday, and I have a few new favorite things to share, so I'm going with that.

 First of all, photo credits to my Younger Son, who greatly enjoyed pl...

Hello, Dear Readers!  I've just started a new job, which is exciting, but also intense.  So let me introduce you to one of Vim's stress-relieving, coping mechanisms - imaginary shopping!  It's fun, but less stressful than actual shopping, because you're not spending an...

Y'all.

It has been a while since I've written about clothes.  It's been a while since I've shopped, but this spring I've remedied that with a vengeance.  Much thanks to Loft, and their fabulous sales!

Vim and I have talked about this a lot.  We both like clothes, but we j...

Bustle:  Vim and I received our birthday presents from each other this past week, and we both sent each other necklaces!  How's that for maintaining the same wave length o'er the miles that separate us?

Should I mention that we are both September birthdays?  Y...

Gentle Readers, it has been a while since my last post.  But, World Series, ergo GO ASTROS!!!!  I know there must be a huge psychological connection between a city devastated and a winning sports team because even though not a single flooded home is being rebuilt any f...

So, I'm sitting at the Clip Joint waiting for my son to get his hair cut when I notice the woman next to me.  Rather, I notice her bracelets.  Now, I could have kept my admiration to myself.  But I have never, ever liked something silently in my life.  So, I pipe up, "...
