Do you have any vintage stuff you're discarding in my size, Kat? I don't need new clothes, but I crave them, and you have excellent taste. I also do have some clothes of yours still, if you want them back.

I would like some new clothes I don't have to do anything to get!
So sorry to hear about the rough times for our mamas! I hope the bureaucracy and the boy both improve and make things easier for you both.
I just got off the phone with Mom--she had a garage sale, and the biggest hit was her dog! One woman just sat down at the edge of the sidewalk and played with Millie for fifteen minutes. Her friends asked if she wanted them to come back for her, and she was tempted. I told Mom there was a reason bulldogs are so popular in advertising; everyone thinks they're adorable.
I spent the day weeding through clothes as well. I have 4 big garbage bags of clothes to go to goodwill, plus about 20 or so pieces I am going to see if anyone wants before they go to goodwill, plus I did some AWESOME shopping in the guestroom closet.
Kat, let me know if there are any items with full skirts and a 8ish top.
I feel jealous of all you cullers. But not enough to do it myself.
The most ridiculous bleeping I've encountered is Dynamite Hack's "Boyz in the Hood," which, in some radio edits, includes the line "I reached back like a pimp and I slapped the ho. "
I just gave myself my first pedicure in ages. Using my first Nubar polish. It's pretty, not quite as intense as I thought it would be, but still pretty. Might make a nice accent color over something else, since it's an iridescent.
Barb, many of the Nubars need at least three coats. Some need four. Sheers? Can go higher. But make sure you used at least three. It's a significant difference with Nubars.
I did do three coats on the big toes, Cass and noticed that it definitely deepened the color. And since it is a sheer, when I next use it, I'll definitely go up to four or more. For the moment though, it comes off as a nice neutral sort of shade with some glitter.
