What are *you* wearing today?

It is supposed to be 68 degrees but we began the day with a very foggy
morning. We are supposed to have more rain this evening. I have to
find Halloween costume items for the middle child and send them off to
her and then do a few errands before my service group chapter meeting at
noon. Dinner is homemade minestrone soup.

Given that I work at home and am going out to cover a fashion show tonight (LA

wearing:
*Cute Nautica PJ pants with pictures of pastry and motto, "Let Them Eat Cake"
*Red and pink cotton long–sleeved T

*10,000–year–old LL Bean sheepskin slippers, pre–Uggs, the most comfortable

*Hair pulled back in a crochet flower scrunchy I bought at Children's Place.
Now I know it doesn't get any more glamorous than this but all you ladies––give
it a try!

66 degrees I woke up to clear skies so I was able to do a short two mile
walk. The rain began at 8:30 a.m. and it looks like it will rain all
day. I bought groceries before my 10 a.m. doctor's appointment so I can
now stay indoors and dry before work this afternoon. Dinner tonight is
baked pork chops, roasted asparagus, green beans, onions and garlic and
TJ's basmati rice medley.

SUNDAY... I still don't hear much through the offending ear but that's
usually the last thing to improve for me when an ear acts up. Decided
I needed a shower. Went to Best Buy and bought Zoo Tycoon 3. Went out
for lunch (tortilla soup and fajitas). Need to do bookkeeping for
sure! For the day:
White T–shirt
Gray sweatpants
Nike Vandal sneakers [green/brown/white]

Hot and confused weather today, with the sun and the rain and the humidity all
day long. I am mostly recovered from my crud, so for errands and early voting
and a non–crud–related doctor appointment:
– Express bootcut jeans, faded wash
– ON Perfect Fit v–neck s/s ribbed tee in a medium blue
– Nike Airliners
– wedding set
– small diamond stud earrings
– bone mock–croc faux Birkin from Tarjay, which elicited yet another compliment
and a delightful conversation with a fellow TJMaxx/Ross/Marshalls/Tarjay addict.
Shopaholics are the nicest people, I swear!

Sunny and around 60.
long dark brown heavy brushed cotton skirt

Warm and damp and again with the alternating downpours and sunshine. I'm
spending the day doing all the stuff that didn't get done while I was sick, like
clothes washing and pumpkin buying (if I can find any at this late date) and
crap like that.

62 degrees Started off the day with intestinal pains that I have been
hoping would go away for the past two weeks. I spent the first part of
the morning at the doctor and the second part at a previously scheduled
annual eye exam. My eyes were dilated and glasses taken so I could get
new lenses in my old frames. I can't find my previous clear glasses so
either I'll wear the sunglasses all day or have slightly hazy vision for
the next week. I missed going to the Macy's benefit shopping day and
worse, I am hosting a book club dinner party this evening. I made a
Bosc pear pink lady apple crisp and my son made a flourless chocolate
torte. The rest of the dinner is catered other than hors d'oeurves and
I'll be dining on Cipro and saltines. This day really sucks.

Hi Audrey,
I took Cipro for a urinary tract infection and it worked very well.
Be sure to take some food with your pill if you can and make sure
that you take all the pills that they prescribe. Stopping early
can cause lots of problems (including helping to evolve Cipro
resistant bugs).
Feel better soon!!

62 degrees What began as a damp, foggy morning may turn out into a nice
sunny day. I began the day with three layers of clothes to walk in the
fog wearing a white turtleneck, heather green Nordstrom sweatpants and
shirt, white LE thermafleece jacket, white knit hat, tennis shoes and
socks. I forgot gloves. This morning the decorator and a woman from a
tile company are coming to the house so we can finalize color and design
for the granite kitchen countertops. I have lunch at 11:30 with a
girlfriend and then in the early evening friends are coming for dinner
before the Fresno State/Hawaii football game. I would love to stay home
and just watch the game on ESPN but I'll be a good sport and go with the
guys to see the massacre. Hawaii has an awesome quarterback and there
is no love between the two teams. Anyway for this fun day packed with
activities I think I can get by with one outfit.
H&M red heavy cotton sweater, collar and belt type tie at the neckline
Lauren red tee under the sweater
Saks Real Clothes charcoal stretch fit slacks
charcoal Tarjay socks
SW red loafers, style is amorous
ancient black Desmo handbag (can't take good bags to the game if someone
near me spills a drink)
red Ellen Tracy double faced wool jacket
multi–colored wool scarf, an ahmward creation
rectangular shaped earring with red stones, gold Seiko watch
red leather and gold bangle bracelet
Audrey

Sunny and in the 40s today, brrrr. Emboldened by Audrey's decision (and I hope
all of the activities went smoothly!), for a rare Saturday at home with the day
all to myself (ahhhhh) and then an early show at a club in with with friends
coming up from Richmond, I wear:
jeans
black velvet turtleneck
vintage rhinestone earrings, set like a spray of flowers
usual diamond and sapphire rings
silver faced watch (elongated rounded rectangular face––like an old TV set)
with a row of rhinestones on both sides on a striped grosgrain ribbon band
(grey/pale pink/brown/purple/yellow/sky blue)
When we go out, I will swap my favorite slippers (scarlet satin mules with a
peep toe and black maribou feathers) for my current favorite shoes (dark
red–verging–on–wine (like a warm–toned claret) patent medium heel loafers with
with white patent piping along the seams, with a silver buckled strap and
across the top of the tongue), and add my small woven bag (black velvet ribbon
woven with black grosgrain ribbon). I'll go w/o a coat as we'll park at the
lot right next to the club.

62 degrees After a very rainy cold night, the rain looks like it is now
in southern CA and we will have a dry weekend. The one outfit was
perfect for all of yesterday's activities though for the football game I
wore my Anne Klein black wool coat with BR brooch of 2004 on the lapel,
red tencel lined leather gloves for Target, the red wool scarf and a red
and black stadium blanket. I was still cold. Too many people left
early. The score was 70–14 in favor of Fresno State and the smart ones
were probably at home watching ESPN2 in front of their fireplaces . The
guys took pity on me and we left at the end of the third quarter. Today
after house chores DH and I are going to buy a sink, faucet and stove
for the kitchen remodel. We are home for dinner this evening (mahoghany
beef stew with basmati rice) and I may just wear my comfy outfit all day
including errands.
white short sleeve RL polo
heavy UCLA medium blue sweatshirt with large letters across the front
(hope to watch the game on tv)
JAG jeans..medium blue soft denim fabric, the fit seems to somehow
decrease the lower body
white Hanes world's softest socks (cofarb correct as always)
blue and white New Balance tennis shoes
gold Seiko watch

66 degrees My husband refers to this November weather as balmy.
Yesterday was a stellar day for getting things done. I bought gifts for
DD's Firenze host family, our nephew, DH and the kids. DH and I chose
our new kitchen sink and faucet, Kohler executive chef and Grohe Alira,
went to another place to finalize our choice of stove and hood, Dacor
30" dual fuel and GE monogram stainless island vent hood, Office Max for
a new bookcase, and Costco for all sorts of goodies. My only outfit
change was a RL white cotton cable pullover instead of the UCLA
sweatshirt. The best part of the day was we didn't have to pay for the
kitchen stuff because the people we dealt with said there was no need to
place the order before the 1st of December. That put DH in a great mood
for the other errands. Today other than hitting the ATM I plan to be at
home for more household chores and finding a place in the yard for my
sweet pea seeds.

You were definitely the dapper man. What did TFBYM wear? I am so happy
not to be invited to any events even close to The Wedding Event of the
Year. So much pressure on everyone.

Audrey asked the musical question:
If I arred myself otherwise my late grandfather (the tailor) would spin like a
lathe in his grave.
I'm going to badly mangle the description, because I am not up–to–speed on
female fashion jargon, but here goes:
It was a "baby taupe" silk Jessica McLintock number, strapless. She also wore
her Tiffany WG signature bits and pieces and some pretty snazzy shoes she found
on clearance at N–M two days before.
You're happy and I'm jealous. We have only one more Real Big Event and then
it's pretty smooth going.

MONDAY... Tossed two bags of trash. Off to work. One meeting, did some
self–induced stock churning around lunch, wrote the rest of the time.
Came home to a number of things including three copies of the 2004
edition of "Yes, You Can... Achieve Financial Independence" by James
Stowers (founder of American Century Investments) – one for me, two
for gifts to my 26–year–old nephews who are probably young enough to

Morning. Actually I arrived at 7:01 and two gentleman were already in
line with the Le Creuset they grabbed. Two ladies were standing in
front of the display complaining about the men and how they had
grabbed the blue dishes and I kept having to say excuse me as I tried
to walk around them to get what I wanted. My score was a 3 1/2 qt
green French oven, 2 13" green oval dishes and a 7.25 qt green French
oven (Le Creuset doesn't use the word "Dutch"). I was pleased. On my
way home I picked up a carpet cleaning machine from the local grocery
store to work on the room that was painted yesterday. Later this

Trilby <p...@LOVELYmidway.SPAMuchicago.edu> wrote on 12 Nov 2004:
Just to correct the record (and to keep the tenor away from the metaphor
so as to assuage la trilling Trilby), I have no formal education as a
librarian (BA in Econ & an MBA in Marketing/Info Sciences), but I fell
into it (the library, metaphorically speaking and without tenor on
usenet) when I moved from DC (where I had been living and working at the
time) to MPLS in '01 to care for my mother when she was receiving
treatments for cancer.
She suggested I take a PT job so I wouldn't constantly hover over her (I
think she suggested I do that, and not because she wanted me away from
her but because she wanted me to have something to moor me after she was
gone). That PT library job began mostly working with databases but
morphed into something more along the way. I met DH shortly after I moved
to MPLS, and so I stayed in MPLS for the obvious reasons, or at least
they seem obvious to me. While I was living in MPLS, I continued working
as a librarian, but in the private sector. All that said, I'm not working
as a librarian now and doubt I ever will again, unless one counts one's
personal library, so your protests may as well fall on John Dewey's ears.

At any rate, it's funny how life takes its turns and how much the concept
of a librarian has changed over the years, all for the better, IMO.
