Or a Chester Draws.
I've seen that in fics. It makes me want to weep. And gently suggest a beta--or at least one that may have a different linguistic background from the author.
If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay Consuela!
Open sing tonight, with the topic of Pete Seeger.(Songs he wrote, songs he's known for, etc.)

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
You were getting looks for frivolity at a Party Store, Connie? Whatevs, Dude (er, Older Lady), save that for unnecessary frivolity in the Library. Kinda what the party store is there for.
Maybe she was just jealous that you rocked the burgundy fedora in a way she'd never be awesome enough to manage.

That sounds fun.
I have accomplished updating my renter's insurance and scheduling the switch over of my Xcel Energy account and my Comcast service. And now I'm on the phone with AT&T. Once I finish this call, I'm DONE talking to people.

Hubby looks quite dashing in his neon green fedora.
Many years ago, Hubby had a bright green with white polka dot giant hat and bow tie. He wore the hat, and I wore the bow tie on my head. We went out driving and were delighted by all the nervous looks we got.
The Mormon church explicity states that light mindedness is frowned upon (so why the big business at the party store?). The locals did not know how to cope with two grown-ups without kids who were out about their business looking odd and apparently not making a fuss about it. Honestly, people backed away.
Utah is a weird place. We delight in making it weirder.

Our wings are not tired.
"chest of drawers"
My family used that term in the NE. I had forgotten that!
Wow, Utah is odd. Remind me not to go to parties there, unless they are hosted by Connie and DH. I will remember to be particularly light minded if I visit.

Your descriptions make it sound like any additional frivolity can only improve it, Connie.

Wait, the religion that was founded on invisible gold tablets that only one guy could see frowns upon light mindedness? I mean, sure, every religion is kinda nutty when you look at it from outside, but really?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
"Chest of drawers" is the term I learned. Many generations since anyone in my family was midwestern.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, chest of drawers is quite common where I grew up.
