What the well-dressed table is wearing

Table runner is finished, and is adding a touch of early spring to the table. Because it's quite long it's a bit tricky trying to get a picture without some distortion, but this shows you the general idea.

Recently the cats were hoping to occupy a cushion on the sofa - both trying to ignore the other. Considering they have been part of the same household for more than eight years now each still pretends she is The Only Cat In The House, something which cats can do very well.

Speaking of cats, when you see a cat washing itself with its legs going in all directions and its tail in another while its head is somewhere unmentionable......doesn't it remind you of a set of bagpipes?

Have you noticed lately that leggings, or whatever they are called these days, are back in fashion? I don't mind them worn under a skirt, definitely don't like them worn with short shorts, and can't stand them when they are worn as outerwear. Some sights are best never seen; just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. They don't flatter a plump behind and legs, and they certainly don't flatter skinny legs no matter what age woman is wearing them. And as for being worn stretched so tight that they become transparent.......not nice. That also includes very tight pretend jeans. Let's just keep them for the gym, shall we?

The coming week looks like being somewhat busy. Another meeting tomorrow afternoon about making the raffle quilt for the state guild (hopefully with some original ideas this time), medical appointment on Wednesday - nothing special, just a check-up - mammogram on Thursday. I shall practice for the mammogram over the next few days by slamming my boobs in the fridge door each time I pass it, and early in the morning when it is still cold I shall lie on the garage floor while Kevin drives the car over my bare chest. It's a necessary procedure for women in my age group, but it isn't a pleasant experience, is it? Hopefully the technician this time will not be as rough and abrupt as the last one was, or this will be the last time I go through this indignity. And it is undignified, having to strip to one's bare skin before strangers is humiliating and embarrassing - at least, that's how I find it; and it's even worse being handled by the aforementioned stranger on my girly bits. If ever I need any surgical procedures done, as far as I am concerned the medical staff will be performing them on my fully clothed body.

To make matters worse our nice weather will be leaving us again this week, Thursday is forecast to be very cold and rainy again! Not a good day for stripping to bare skin, even partly.

"Expressing unfavorable opinions.

You should be exceedingly cautious about expressing an unfavorable opinion relative to a young lady to a young man who appears to be attracted by, and attentive to her. If they should marry, the remembrance of your observations will not be pleasurable to yourself nor the married parties."

Perhaps we had better not make an unfavorable remark about a young lady wearing her jeggings, or tight pretend jeans, in the hearing of a young man who is attentive to her? Wouldn't want to cause any angst, would we.....no matter how unflattering the garment.

Enjoy your days!
