#FashionFriday #FitnessFriday – What’s a Girl to do?

Yesterday I started packing for the upcoming BookLovers Con and ended up doing a cleanse and pack of my closet for our upcoming move! I donated several bags of clothing and luggage and only kept a small number of items for the future. Business suits: mostly gone. Button-downs: Just kept a few. The one thing I didn’t realize was that I had been able to move from my “Big” clothes to my “Skinny” ones. That included two “promesa” pants. What’s a “promesa?” It’s a promise and I had promised myself that I would one day be able to fit into those pants. Well, I was finally able to keep that promesa and fit into both pairs. One pair was way too long and just didn’t look all that good so I donated it, but I kept the other pair!

As I mentioned, I had to decide what to keep and what to trash, which raised this following decision: Which Mets Jersey to keep?
Mets Piazza Wright Tebow

LOL! You know I kept them all!! I’m a die-hard fan and will totally wear each of these depending on the game and my mood.

Fun Friday – A new addition to the blog

I could not wake the inner Fashionista this morning. The weather was gloomy and wet. The only thing I could think about was slipping on my Columbia rain/winter boots so that my feet wouldn’t get wet.

I hate wet feet. Must be the cat in me!

Actually, the more I thought about, the more I realized how hard it is for me to do the Fashionista thing on a regular basis now that my daughter is on hiatus due to the demands of school.

So it occurred to me to spice Fridays up by offering some fun stuff that I can do! So, look for Fun Fridays on a regular basis. I’ll be posting things you can do on the ‘Net as well as possibly some humorous jokes that have come my way.

To get you started – some online puzzles. When I was a kid, my mom, sis and I would spend hours together working on puzzles. One time it took us a few months to finish one of those really complex gazillion piece puzzles, but we did it!

These are simpler and hopefully will give you a fun way to take a break today. Continue reading “Fun Friday – A new addition to the blog”

Fashion Friday – Winter Hats

I wasn’t prepared for our trip to New York City in that I didn’t bring a cute hat like the one my daughter is wearing in this picture. So we bought one while we were walking around and it was great. Little pattern on the hat and a soft fleecy inside. One of the things I always hated about caps like this was how itchy they were, but this one by Champion is totally comfortable even though it kept on slipping off my big head.

Fashion Friday – Office Holiday Parties

party.jpgIt’s that time of year when businesses hold their annual parties to celebrate the holidays. There are those who get dressed to the nines for these events, but as you must have guessed by now, I’m a simple kind of women. I’ve got a cute little white shirt that has Christmas ornaments embroidered down the front.

Of course because it’s white, I’m praying I don’t dribble some of the party goodies down the front of it or do something equally clutzy as is my general inclination. Which I guess brings us to a list of things not to do at the holiday party! Continue reading “Fashion Friday – Office Holiday Parties”
