Come on, people! Winter skirts, wool tights! What's so hard about this concept?
I don't believe in wool tights, but I've gotten nice cotton-blend ones at Filene's Basement. I bet they make them in Polartec now, too, or silk, which have the same warmish qualilties as wool, minus the itchy (which is the issue for me).
In the hosiery department, I am currently wearing lavender striped toe socks.
I am basically packed, in that I have decided what clothes I am taking. I still need to throw in toiletries and I'll be done.
I mean even the ones who never saw like me.
Yeah, wool tights would be too itchy for me, too. Also too hot.
Wool is too itchy for me too. I like thick cotton tights, but even those are itchy indoors, and impossible to find!
Oh, hell.
My sister-in-law's dad was killed in a car accident yesterday. Her mother died of cancer when she was in college, so basically she's down to one sister.
I feel so bad. We asked if we should go to the funeral, but my brother said no. I want to do something, she's really marvelous.
bon bon, we have a gift for you! Can you email me your address?
insent to earthlink. Exciting!
Also have you seen the presidential indictment bingo card on wonkette?
Off to look. You know I LOVE bingo.
Damn, Consuela, that is rough. Poor woman.
Damn, people with the car crashes. That's just horrible.
It's so hard. She was just here a couple of weeks ago, helping her oldest friend through the funeral for the friend's dad. Now said friend is flying out to help her.
That's the kind of reciprocity that shouldn't have to happen.
Worse, my brother had apparently told his F-i-L that maybe he should make sure his financial affairs are in order -- the man was in his early 60s, maybe, but he had a lot of different business interests. He said, nah, I've got some years yet. So now on top of it all my S-i-L will be spending the next few months resolving her father's estate, while moving to DC and setting up a new household, while my brother starts a new, high profile job.
Gargh. Life is so unfair sometimes.
