I love how the Feds are going around saying, LOOKS LIKE THE END OF THE RECESSION IS NEAR, EVERYBODY!!! GET OUT YOUR CHECKBOOKS!!! but from where I’m sitting, I’d say the recession is just getting comfortable.
Yep, the recession is just hunkering down in my humble abode. It’s like a house guest who takes awhile to loosen up but once he does, he eats all your food, uses your toilet, leaves the seat up, then asks if he can borrow your sweat pants because your house is really cold and…..are you going to eat that?
I don’t think the recession is going anywhere soon. At least not for this hapless writer who left the comfort and security of a job with benefits in the city for a stab at the “good life” IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS???!?! (Em, isn’t it always kind of a recession when one lives in the woods?)
This topic has been on my mind lately because winter is coming, and the words “winter” and “recession” just seem to go together like two homeless people huddled in a bus kiosk. I have a feeling this might just be the longest winter in history.
I suppose I’m grouchy because it’s ALREADY freezing and my winter clothes have seemingly evaporated. When I first moved here, I had all sorts of snug, nifty sweaters, chic jackets, trendy hats and boots with heels. I don’t know what happened to these stylish clothes, I think they have receded to the furthest corners of my closet from lack of wear. But as winter once again approaches I find I’m faced with appalling sartorial choices.
Let’s see, this morning do I wear my 1989 fleece sweat pants with Uggs I’ve had so long they’re sort of always wet inside OR a fetching banana yellow sweatsuit pawned off on me by an older acquaintance that looks like what a passenger aboard the Love Boat might have worn to ride the stationary bicycle in the exercise closet back in 1983?
I just couldn’t decide so I put them together. Today, I am a middle-age shuffleboard player on top, crazy stick-whittling she-bear on bottom.
How is it that at my age I don’t have money to go buy a few new clothes? There is something wrong with this picture. And there is something seriously messed up with this outfit.
Hang in there,Jessie! You’ll do great,I can smell the sweet success ..just wait and see!
Regarding being fiercely fashionable, I know the feeling,often times I need to force myself to dress up, even if it’s only for myself. This is exactly what I did today and looking fabulous:)!
Um, how cold can it get in Virginia?
It’s not so much that the temperature is as of yet freezing, it hsa more to do with living in a house with an unfinished basement so ALLL the cold air downstairs seeps upstairs. Until we get the fire going, It’s actually colder in the house than it is outside. I’m wearing my ‘Gonia long underwear and a wool sweater today.
