A couple of things

So my good friend meg is always doing these lists so I thought I would give it a shot....

1. Social Season update
Things are going well but I have never in my life encountered so many women that don't have the common sense God gave a rock. These are educated women!! But they have no common sense... Maybe it's b/c I am a project manager by trade and trying to apply those qualities to the social world is apparently all in vain... I have 3 events this month, March will be a little bit of a rest but then April and May come full force... There are galas, parties and golf tourneys that will hopefully be very successful... granted I don't kill a socialite in the process...

2. All this over a cartoon??
Ok, I try to leave the politics to lizzie, kate, pk and yoss but I will just comment briefly on this whole Danish political cartoon depicting the prophet Mohammad (sp?) with a bomb shaped like a turban on his head... Yes it was horribly offensive to Muslims as a whole, but to burn down churches and riot in the streets over a cartoon?? I thought the Muslim faith preaches peace and love? But I guess there are nuts in every religion, right? I mean the Christians had Jim Jones...nuff said about that...

3. The little black dress
Every girl needs one. I have a summer little black dress but not one for the winter. So my mother decided to take me shopping over the weekend. I tried on a number of dresses. Mother kept picking out these dresses with a 1920's influence, the boxy shape and drop waste... These dresses do not, I repeat DO NOT look good on a woman with a shape like mine. I have curves, and yes that means I have hips, not big hips but my hips don't look good in a drop waste dress. Now, understand that my momma is precious and has really good taste. But there was this dress she made me wear when I I was about 14 to my cousin's wedding. I hated the dress but she loved it and I wore it. You've seen that part in Gone with the Wind when Scarlett pulls the drapes down from the windows and tells Mammy to make her a dress? Well the dress my momma picked out for me to wear to my cousins wedding looked like she had taken the drapes from some Mammaw's bedroom in the old folks home. It had a flower print and it came off of my right shoulder, and on my left shoulder was a big ole bow... I have never, NEVER let her forget that dress and how heinous it was... including last Sunday. So after we got past the 1920's dresses, we both picked out some more dresses. The one we decided on was a short straight black velvet number with pink satin at the top and pink spaghetti straps. She liked it b/c it made me look skinny and it showed off my best asset (in her opinion), my bosom... That's what she calls my breasts....my bosom...


4. Showin your bosom in the daylight hours
God forbid you should show your bosom in the daylight hours. Momma all but called this lady out in the Bi-Lo for showing her bosom in the daylight hours.. I did have to agree, the woman was trying to recapture her youth (she was pushing 50) by wearing one of those velour joggin outfits that says something on the butt like Juicy.. should have said WIDE LOAD across her butt... and she was painted up like she was gettin ready to work the corner of Chapman and Moody (the hooker's corner in K-town). Her jacket was unzipped down to her navel and she was wearing a tank top, that showed off her droopy (worst kind in my opinion) bosom... She had also been in the tanning bed so much I questioned her caucasion status... But the worst thing of all, she had her little girl with her!!! Bad fashion and horrible make-up application, is like child abuse to me.. Just trash, nothin but trash...

Well kids I guess that's it for now... Hope all is well with everyone in the blogosphere!!

Kisses!!
