In honor of the reason the S3 is in existence, our S'cubie Wednesdays, the holiday season, and 'just because'.....I thought I'd wear some different clothes for the day.
;D

Something finally went right today, so far anyway. This afternoon I applied for a renewal of our overnight street parking permit using the new online website thingy. I got an email that said it was pending approval and I would be notified if and when the application was approved. Considering that I've had to convince the permit department people each and every year that no, we only have room to park one car in the driveway and no, we don't have a garage, and no, there's no room on the property to build one (and by the way, why the hell don't you go harass the neighbors who have at least four cars and no effin' driveway and who take up all the spaces on the block when they throw a loud party and don't even invite the residents over for a beer), well, anyway, suffice it to say I didn't think I'd hear back for at least 24 hours. I just got the email that the permit has been renewed, I printed off the temporary permit just in case the real sticker doesn't get here in time, and I put it on the refrigerator so I can't lose it. So, something went well. Also this morning I got brave and drove over to Borders to meet with some other Robin McKinley fans, who were very nice, and I'd probably do it again should the opportunity arise. So that's two things that went well. I am now waiting for the next shoe to drop, on my head, most likely. By the way, we got 2.7" of rain from 7AM Monday to 7AM today for a grand total of 7.45" since last Thursday, and there's supposed to be a whole lot more on the way tonight through Thursday morning. So this summer Southern California had record-breaking heat, and this winter we're having record-breaking rainfall. Also? Don't wait for the other shoe to drop. Remove it yourself, instead. ;D That sounded more pithy in my head.

I was going to say that, but it would get me closer to my next turn-over, and since I am not being at all virtuous about getting pretties for other people, I don't want to get to my next milestorne too soon. On the other hand, I would get you that coat if I knew where to find it, or the one Ginny was wearing at Uncle Mervie's birthday party, which was of the same mode but had steel buttons and a stand-up collar. Julia, having decorated in the direction of the Christmas tree but feeling bummed for no good reason. I think I'm part crow, since I've got an unholy penchant for the shiny. And engaged in a fruitless search for a replacement shiny PVC three-quarter length coat to replace my 13-year-old one that is slowly going to pieces... And: You're very sweet. Had I gotten the Portland job, I would have come over with something yummy just for the suggestion. Crow or magpie? ;D

Check this out, all of you who are freezing this season: Portable Fire! Of course, it's a bit pricey. To wit: The "Conmoto Travelmate Portable Fireplace ($3,200). Made from black powder-coated steel, with glass partitions and a steel fuel holder, this briefcase-sized firebox burns bio-ethanol liquid fuel [and] is light enough to be carried anywhere[.]"

Amazing, no? I guess I'll have to wait for my big lottery win to shop then drop. ;D

Had I gotten the Portland job, I would have come over with something yummy just for the suggestion. Ginny, by the way, is somewhat over 70; she was wearing over-the knee boots (Black, red piping, stacked wood heels) she bought in Chicago the winter of 1989 and a thousand-dollar haircut. She's like our own Jane Fonda only with better dress sense, drives a Corvette, and is the mother of a retired Navy Seal. Glamor and style are so not the same thing as mere fashion. Julia, helping fill up the part, I guess.

I'm not looking at that; I know my weaknesses! Julia, all my fatal, fatal weaknesses, like that portable fireplace.
