The way it used to be....

I am a huge fan of "Mad Men". I love everything about that show...the way people dressed, the way they behaved, the way they just "were". Our world has become so hectic and it seems as though people don't actually put any thought or take any pride in the way they dress.
I work in a grocery store and, at least once a day, I see someone come walking in wearing their pajama bottoms. Seriously, is it that hard or are people just too damned lazy to put on a pair of pants before they leave their homes?
If you desire the comfort that comes with pj pants, get yourself some yoga pants from Old Navy (they are rather affordable) and put those on before you step foot into public.
I have compiled a list of when it is ok and not ok to wear pj pants.....

Times when it is acceptable to wear pj bottoms:

1. in bed or at home
2. when you have a baby coming out of your body and you need to get to the hospital.
3. you just had a baby come out of you and are now heading home
4. you are in your yard, taking the dog out to do its business
5. your child is in need of emergency medical assistance and you are taking them to the hospital
6. during a "pajama party" with your girlfriends.

When it is not acceptable to wear pajama bottoms:
1. going to the store
2. going to a restaurant
3. going to the coffee house for coffee
4. any times other than the "acceptable"list

Why cant we just go back to having pride in our appearance? Is that too much to ask for?

New adventure....

I/we (the husband and myself) have been looking for a new hobby. We used to ride a Harley but he had to sell his bike and he has not replaced it yet.
We have been watching The Tudors on Showtime and have purchased season one and season two.
As we watched, my dear husband indicated that he liked the clothing and would like to get involved with the Society for Creative Anachronism.
I used to be heavily involved with the SCA but due to personal issues and my world blowing up....I left. When I left, I had made enemies but I didn't care because I "was never coming back"...famous last words.

We will be attending a feast and masked ball in January....I will be creating Tudor mens and womens clothing.

Even if the people I angered are there, at least I will look good.

WORK WORK WORK

That is what my life seems to be comprised of...work work work....small break for school....work work work.

Yeah, you get the idea.

Honestly, I love my job. I have a great team of good people working under me. I have made some friends and I can say that 99.9% of the time, I actually want to go to work.
School starts back up soon. Sticking with the Cultural Anthropology degree.....see where that takes me.

I wish I knew why I cant sleep much anymore...perhaps it is the ghosts of the past coming to visit...?

Different topic....I was asked, a while ago, if I could ever be friends again with M. After much thought, I said that I couldn't.
Sure, what we had, as friends, was good....for a while and then, it went really bad. I think that both of us had come to the end and neither of us was willing to "blink" and just put it to rest.
Do I think she over reacted in regards to what I said? Yes, I do.
Do I think I should have just listened to my gut instincts and said "goodbye" while things were still pretty good? You bet I do. Without a doubt.

Life is too short to dwell on the "should have, would have, could have" train of thought. Let me just say, for the record....she is good at her job....I would reccomend her in a heartbeat if someone was looking for an energy medicine practitioner because of how she can be compassionate.
In the end, I wish her pure joy and happiness. Always.
