My friend, Kendra, has mastered whimsy. It's hard to do right without coming across as "cutesy". But from the way she adorns the envelope to the ephemera secreted inside, she makes a mood-lifting magical charm.
And the enclosed card belongs on my bookcase altar!

Is there a barber in the house?
Saw this photo in a book about the Dakota Apartments, and I'm blown away by what this man did with his neck hair. What's this called? I've heard of a chinstrap beard, but this is something else, right?

Won a box of stuff at an auction, which included this marble pyramid.
I don't need this, I don't want or need any more "stuff", but the longer I look at it, the more I want to keep it. It's cool, but it goes against every goal I have to declutter.
Anyone got a good excuse for me to keep it?

As a genuine old person, I can confirm that Carmen is correct, as always.

This is SO spot on.
The artist especially captured that blank, stupidly evil expression that Dressy DHSsy Bessy always wears, no matter what costume she dons.
Gawd, they're all so vile.

Looking through the local auction company's latest on-line sale...
Is it just me, or is this David Bowie? Genuine question, because my husband always argues with me when I think I think people look similar.

Don't you hate it when you store a Book of Shadows for someone for about a dozen years, only to find out they don't want it anymore?
Book's name is Grapek, btw.
Grichels is amazing.

I took my wee'un to PBS in the Park in the early 2000s, where we met Dr. Loretta Long, aka Susan from Sesame Street.
I was astonished at how emotional I was! I could barely speak and was teary eyed!
She laughed and said it happens to the mamas all the time, but the kids don't get starstruck.

Just saw the beginning of a Grizzly Adams episode on MeTV. Not only did he encourage a racoon to eat out of his garden, but he also pulled up lettuce to give the bear.
I enjoyed watching that show as a kid, but I didn't realize how fake it was! WTF shows wild animals how to destroy their garden?!

At yesterday's protest, a driver waiting for the light to change read my sign and flipped me off.
Usually, I look away because I don't want to make angry people madder, but I just stared back. So, he gave me the ol' double bird... 1/2

Ever see those 70s raining oil lamps?
There was a leaking detergent bottle on the top shelf at WM that had the entire display looking like that.
I told the first employee I found. She said, "That's not my job."
"OK, but I thought you might know whose it is."
"Well, I don't!"

This shirt I got at the Bins may be the cheesiest thing I've ever owned, so I'd like to wear it on Thanksgiving.
Unless it has a meaning that I'm too old and unhip to get. You would tell me if it's something bad, right? #warhorse

You know how some folks come from "old money"?
I come from "old poor", so let me help any "new poor" with some tips.
Older recipe books usually call for more basic ingredients and tend to skew toward feeding more faces for your buck. Try an old cookbook!

Accidentally discovered that ponytail scrunchies are Jelly's favorite toy of all time.
OF ALL TIME!
He likes it when they're shot into the air, so he can do his "bird hunter" impersonation. (He really likes it when you "wooh!" at how high he jumps!)

I get to babysit these knuckleheads while their parents are overseas for two weeks. Wasabi ran to the door this morning when he heard the keys, saw it was me and not his mom, complained with a "MEH!", and left before I could get in.
Jelly is lovey-dovey, but Wasabi is very annoyed with me!

My daughter is a volunteer at an animal shelter, and she let me tag along as she cleaned the cat rooms this morning.
At one point there were seven purring kittens on my lap and I got love bombed in the best way possible.
HIGHLY recommend.
