I must dress!

I've been doing a job that requires very little in the way of wardrobe. I wear jeans and whatever shirt or sweatshirt I want. Casual sneakers on my feet.

I don't wear shoes with heels even when I dress up, instead opting for dressy almost-flats. My feet bother me when they're crammed into little pointy-toed shoes, and even more when the toes are crunched in by elevating my heels. I'm old enough to go for comfort instead of looks.

Can a red hat be far behind?

The company I'm working for has a few dress code rules, but since I don't show cleavage, have any tattoos or facial piercings, I smell good and my hair is clean, I pass.

If I'm going to be doing job interviews and/or getting a new job, I might have to wear different clothes. I do have a few things I can wear, but certainly not enough to qualify as a wardrobe.

I found a couple things at Goodwill the other day, but the skirt I picked up is a little tight. I either need a bigger skirt or a smaller ass. Actually, I need both, but getting a bigger skirt is a little faster right now.

So this morning, Lyssa and I will be Goodwill hunting. I'll take the skirt back and get the store credit. Hopefully I can apply it to something a bit more suitable today.

And totally off topic, but I feel it must be addressed.

Is it just me, or are things just speeding along? Time is just ZOOMING by... even more than usual. The weeks and months are just going so fast I can hardly keep up. Our anniversary is a month away. Somehow 28 years went by when I wasn't paying attention.

Christmas is literally around the corner, too. Time for me to start shopping a bit and putting things aside for the kids, although I'm not planning anything elaborate this year. From the news reports, I'm not alone in conservative spending.

And one more thing. I was pondering the economic bailout on my way home from work yesterday. Not that I'm thinking of it all that much, because of course, it's beyond my control, but the radio station I had tuned in was thoughtfully broadcasting, LIVE, the voting from the Senate.

Just what America needs.
