Style Edition
1. Which decade do you fall in? 20’s, 30’s, etc.? I won’t ask for an exact age!
I'm 44.4 years old, give or take.2. Do you subscribe to the theory that there are age appropriate clothes? Or can they, in general, span the generations?
Once a woman's knees cave in and let gravity take charge, they should really never been seen in public again. This means no mini skirts and no shorts. Let me just hasten to add that by shorts I mean ass-baring shorts. Bermudas and comfy gardening or workout shorts are fine. I also don't think people should dress in uncomfortable clothes, so I'm willing to let this rule slide a little if the climate dictates. I guess. And of course, 60-year-old women whose knees are still awesome--Tina Turner, please!--can do whateeverthefuck they want!3. Do you think you "dress your age" in accordance with the current "appropriate" styles?
Yes. I dress like a mom. I'm over it.4. Are there "young" clothes that you wish you could wear but don’t feel like you still can? Is it based on your age or body type?
I'd LOVE to still be able to wear shorts in public, but OMG--I need to lose almost 70 lbs, before that'll happen!! I don't really like most of the popular styles right now. I didn't like 'em the first time around, in the 70s, either. gag5. Do you find that you are more comfortable in your own skin as you get older?
Oh, TOTALLY!!!6. Do you have a thing for a particular kind of clothes? Like you love all things cargo pants, or tennis shoes, or T-shirts, etc.?
I have an INSANE number of T-shirts. I love jeans. I like slip-on shoes, short boots and slouchy ankle socks. Really, I could easily go WEEKS wearing nothing but those clothes and a) be happy, plus b) not need to do laundry very often!
Feedback baby

Odd Jobs
1. Who in your life would make a really good butler?
Amy would be great at this job! OMG--she'd be AWESOME! And I mean that as a compliment.2. Who in your life would make a really good head of state?
My boss. Sorry, not creative. Oh well.3. Who in your life would make a really good TV talk-show host?

Sparky. He's already pretty spacy.5. Who in your life would make a really good movie director?

It comes with a gold-plated Rolls Royce, as long as you pay for it.
[01] Have you been tested for your IQ?
They did this at some point in school. I only know because I saw the results. By accident, not because they showed me. It's good to be able to read upside down....[02] Whom would you rather win the World Series, the Red Sox or the Yankees?
I'd rather MLB went bankrupt and we could watch the minor leagues instead. And, hey, I wouldn't cheer for ANY New York or Boston (or east coast) team unless you paid me BIG money (8 digits), or if their win would benefit my team down the road.[03] What is the best part of your job?
Self-determination.[04] What was the last creative thing you did?
Some of my answers to these memes have been somewhat creative....[05] If the Presidential candidate you want to win your party's nomination fails to do so, would you still vote in the November election?
Of course. What an asinine concept--to refuse to vote because you didn't get your way! The silliness of voters always makes me crazy.
Good thing that's it: I'm getting cranky!!
