Fridays Thoughts

Summer time here is California seems officially over. I know beacuse it has happened again. The first day of cold comes and I throw open my closet and I have nothing to wear. Nada. Ziltch. The one jacket I thought I did have has stains that I never noticed before and now I realized that I have over given clothes away. Again. I literally cut my closet by 30% when I go through my closet and thrown things out or give them to Goodwill, and I do that about two times a year. I know I am not buying clothes at the same rate, so I literally make it so that I have nothing to wear. Winter clothes are the hardest for me to keep because I rebel against winter and freeze by not having the appropriate clothing. In the fight between me and Winter, Winter always wins.

Also, I do not like winter for another fashion reason: long sleeves. When you are six feet tall, there are just not sleeves long enough out there to actually cover your arms. If you are my size/height, then that throws you into the "large" category which means the sleeve will be long enough, but the armpit is at your elbow, and you will be swimming in your top. There was help with the 3/4 length movement, but I have a feeling that that's not always going to be around, or its in a yucky style. So, for the next 6-7 months, I will be awkwardly trying to hide my wrists.

Take a good look at this photo. I am using it as the before. I am going out on a fashion limb and getting bangs cut this evening. I know, I know... bangs are so 4th grade! But wait! Bangs are making a come back. I made the appointment tonight to get my hair lightened, but when I analyzed it, I think I am just needing a style change. Dark hair with thick, piecey bangs might be good. If not, it will at least hide my crying eyes.

Speaking of crying, this has been the week for it. On Tuesday night I found out that baby Spencer's funeral is tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. I am so anxious to see Amanda just to hug her! My sister works for a children's clothing/toy store and Amanda's mom and sister came in the get the funeral programs. It's so sad for everyone involved. Please pray for the family to make it through the day-to-day when you get the chance.

Alanis debuted a new song on House, M.D. this week. It's a great song to cry to. I would know.

I love you all.
