Dear Idiots

I was basing my travel plans on you. You kept saying Tuesday was good and Wed. was gonna snow. How do you miss the giant front bringing FREEZING RAIN over three states? God you suck. Not sure WHEN I'm going back this week now


so now a Picspam to take my mind off it


My favorite Christmas clothing gift

Remember me complaining about that clerk in Steinmart a few months back that was hassling me because I wanted to know if one color of a shirt that wasn't marked was on sale actually was since all the other colors were and she was so rude I left everything I was going to buy and told the manager.
this is the shirt Mom got it for me at Macy's (she didn't know about the Steinmart thing). Funny thing was, she was doing something in Macy's and I showed it to Dad before Christmas and he wanted me to buy it too.

bought myself a new purse

Part of my holiday gift was Dad scanned in all these slides no one has seen in years. I'll slowly bore you with them one decade at a time.


Baptism 67


First Christmas 67

First Birthday 68 Dig Mom's hair.



Had to go shoe shopping today. Given a choice of being beaten unconscious or shoe shopping, I'd pick the former every time. Anything flat, black and actually NOT a freaking wide naturally wasn't in my size. Luckily New Balance had the exact same shoe that was on my foot, right on the shelf, right size and even in a narrow (though all those wide-butt shoes irritated my nerves, trying them on and my toe feels broken now.. Hello people just because I need a 9 1/2 does NOT mean i have wide feet. You make enough wides, try making a narrow once in a blue moon)

I think I made your black egg hatch.

Judy, your hair!!!! OMG.

The pic of you on the couch...scary. Very, very scary.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i see that

wasn't that wonderful

why scary

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You kinda look dead.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that seems the consensus

[ishte.livejournal.com]

Funny thing about wide shoes is that those of us who need wide shoes, they usually are not wide enough.

Cute Xmas picture with the rents. Note Mom's very big hair, and Dad's classic Dad Pipe before we made smoking into a disgusting dirty mortal sin that could not be seen without plastering on a parental warning.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah dad's been raving about the parental warning thing (which yeah gotta agree with. Seriously? NC-17? Are we delusional yet?_

[ishte.livejournal.com]

Yah seriously that's just freaking over the top. I mean, like a child seeing some dude hitting a smoke is somehow equivalent in it's no-see-allow-em-ness as a naked penis... which...

Actually, i have always wondered why we were so freaking bent out of shape over the human body that we had to have a high high warning about even BRIEF nudity in movies when it's adults doing ordinary things... so a dude gets out of bed NAKIE and crosses the room to get something off the dresser. Do normal people like grab robes and cover up just to walk to the dresser and look at something?

And why is a woman's breast such a nono place? You can see a man's, and trust me there are some Men's breasts that should NOT be allowed out in public. Guys shouldn't walk around without THEIR shirts unless they are 100% buff either. And somehow it's worse to be shown a flaccid penis hanging there normally on a guy doing nothing overt, than to see the same area on a woman. What's up with that? The only difference is the penis part looks stupider. (giving further evidence that women are smarter than men in that we keep our important parts tucked up inside out of the way of harm.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i have no answers. I've always wondered the same myself

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

It's Americans. A lot of other places in the world, both objects are perfectly fine.

(Stoopid Puritans.)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yep

[lilachigh.livejournal.com]

clicked

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

Wow, with that hair, your Mom looked like a star trek babe - a hot blonde that would have surely been the captain's.

And dragonclicks :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

snort, yes she does

thanks

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope Judy hears that comment about being a hot Star Trek babe - though she'd be disappointed to be Jim's babe rather than Spock's.

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

Well, Jim usually got all the blonde action...

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Nurse Chapel, um...that blond chick on that sex pollen planet....

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

Ooooooooo, I had forgotten about the pollen planet!

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

HEEE.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Spock got some too such as it was

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he got the cave chick when he and Bones went back in time (I think she was a blonde too..), and our favorite blonde nurse, Chapel, wanted a piece of that Vulcan STAT. They even hooked up in one of the "we're under some strange spell and aren't responsible for our actions" episodes.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Bones was the one who didn't get much comparatively speaking

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

That's true - I can't think of a single time he hooked up. I know there's one, but darned if I can think of it.

[sita-137.livejournal.com]

Wow, you look dead in your baptism picture! [laugh] Very fitting, considering your later interests in fandom, etc.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

maybe that's why ELD was scared. and Snort.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought, too. "She's dead!"

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

maybe that's what's wrong with me, i died 41 years ago

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

It could be.

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

I see you already plotting world domination in that '68 photo....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

totally possible. Or at least dreaming about killing those scary dolls

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

A woman's got to do what a woman's got to do.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

indeed

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

Boy, you need to shop here. I can't find a wide shoe to save my life. I wear an E, 8 1/2 or 9, and I have to go to specialty stores unless I'm lucky.

Clicks!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

god they are everywhere here including Payless and discount shoes. EE or EEE are a little harder.

Note to self, go to Phoenix for shoes

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

What Payless calls "wide" I laugh at. I can almost NEVER find comfortable shoes at Payless. "Wide" usually means maybe a D, again, if I'm lucky...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well i never found comfortable shoes there either and as a podiatrist safely can say not shoes i'd want anyone putting on their feet

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

I thought as much.

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

Is that lotus shirt a B.L.E.U. brand item? I have two of that brand--in different styles and colors from yours, but the crease marks in the dye job and the glitters on the front are their trademark. My BLEU blouses are my favorites. They're so damn flattering.

It's true what the others said. You could sepia-tone that picture of your infant self asleep on the couch and pass it off as one of those Victorian dead-baby photos.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it's packed right now waiting for me to make it home. I'll check I'm not sure.

snort. My poor baby picture

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Hmmm....

*things to do next time I've got photoshop open....*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no zombie babies

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

But but!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yep they're BLEU

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

They had to be. Both of mine came from the local Stein Mart, so they're obviously dealing in that brand. I think I've seen BLEU at Penny's, too.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

That one WOULD have come from Steinmart had they not been dicks about it. Those two came from Macy

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

See, I'd be able to use the wide width. They're what I can never find. I hate shoe shopping, too. :/

Great clothes!

How much hairspray do you have to use to make hair stand up like that? No wonder we have holes in the ozone layer... ;-P

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

seriously that is the time the ozone eroded. I should take that picture and scare my students

thanks
