Carol: Rosie & Mr. Fun

"Forever"???? Really?

Guess what was in today's mail (see yesterday's blip). Yeah, more of the same. This is the plush side of the holiday fashions. Yesterday was the glitz. Okay, I like both--the plush and the glitz. The urge to buy a soft, comfy turtle-neck shirt, one that will last "forever," is pretty intense. I kind of think that's a bunch of marketing mumbo jumbo.

So today the thought of staying home for the holidays, snuggling close to a warm fireplace, enjoying our own candles flickering is quite appealing. I wandered through the pages of the newest catalog -- you ought to see the slippers and the jammies -- folding corners down and not losing the battle to give-in and buy,buy, buy. But, gosh, I really do need slippers. Every night I pray that I don't die in my sleep because I wouldn't want to be caught dead in my jammies. They are comfortable, but they lose miserably in the fashion department.

So if I manage to have a slumber-less party at Barnes & Noble for my November birthday, I'll have to give-in and purchase some new jammies. How about you? Would your jammies be your choice for the slumberless party with a group of blipping friends? Now that would be a blip!

Good night from a "wind worn" Southern California.

P.S. So tomorrow I should blip the jammies.
