I have WORK to do! And here I sit, pointlessly blogging. I also have things to do which I never look forward to, that being Ironing clothes (yech) and packing to go to Tennessee for the Easter Holiday. That's where I spent my first easters as a little girl, in my sweet little dresses, complete with frilly socks and white mary janes. My mom KNEW how to dress a little girl.
The problem arrived when I became a teenager.
Lumpy, oddly-shaped, uncomfortable with my new...attributes, finding a dress to wear to church on Easter sunday became an Act of Congress. At 13 I had just begun to loathe pink, which I would not fully appreciate again until my mid 20's (or, more accurately, until Legally Blonde) and the only colors I wanted to don were white (which, if you're lumpy and oddly-shaped, you know how disasterous white can be) and Army Green. Where and why my obsession with Army Green began I'll never know. I can only look back and see my mother and aunt standing outside the dressing room at Goody's, their faces buried in their hands to supress the shrieks of sheer frustration. And me, wearing an Army green shirtdress, with a mile-wide belt (HUGE gold buckle) standing there saying "WHAT?!?"
No wonder my mom started going gray so early. Sorry, mom.
Next week will be another short week, for Friday I will be flying on the miraculous NonStop flight to MN, to see My Manz. Has anyone else besides me noticed the suspicious lack of Manz? Manz gone Missing!

omg - i have to see these pictures! please tell me you have them. gold buckles! i chortle with glee at the thought!
i, too, had a strange fascination with army green. i think we were the same. i used to be HUGELY girly in my younger years. then, when lack of ... attributes never appeared, i turned much more boyish. lots of long sleeve oversize shirts and this horrific thrift store 3-sizes-too-big green jacket.
what was i thinking? aiiieee! ;)
good luck w/ the work! and hey, manz? get back here! no more suspicious lacking!
OOH! I too had the oversized big green jacket, which I now fondly remember as my "Duffel Coat" My ex-boyfriend would write band names on it in ink pen. Band names like "Skid Row", "Slaughter", and of course "Iron Maiden"!
::shame::
I know I can drudge up pictures of the year I wore a white dress (shudder).
