Someone whose blog I read used to say that she was telling “short
stories” when she wanted to just do a list instead of an entire blog post about
one thing. I can’t remember who that was – Ellen? Maybe. Anyway, I like the
sound of it instead of Monday Miscellany – but you aren’t fooled. What you’re
actually getting is Monday Miscellany.
Last night my dad & I discussed how if we weren’t using
cordless phones we could see how I (in Ohio) had given him (in NC) my cold, but
since we were using cordless phones
we didn’t think I could be the culprit. Then he sneezed three times INTO THE
PHONE. And this morning I sneezed
three times. Coincidence? I think not!
I did stop sneezing & I don’t think I’m getting another
cold. I might, however, be getting autumn.
The other night I was tossing & turning full of
foreboding about something. It took me a while to get to the root of the matter
– I was worried about money. That made me smile & relax because I’m always worried about money – I was
relieved that it wasn’t some new bugaboo. I believe that my constant worry in
this area is what keeps us solvent, so it’s nice to know that I was on the job.
Remember this
hat?
Titus wanted it (!) so I sent it to her & it had quite a trip. Go here
and here
and here
to check out its adventures. A couple of weeks ago I got some nice gifts in
return – here is one of them.

| Thanks Titus! |
One day many years ago, my model friend had her hair done in an avant-garde do by a fancy Italian stylist. It was for a fashion show. He put this round piece of cardboard on her head and spread her hair over and around the cardboard. When he was done, he asked how she liked it and Cindy said, "Antionio, my hair looks like a big pizza pie." He was devastated. I don't think his intention was pizza.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a single reason I had that really fond memory just now...
LOL snort LOL (wipes tears from my eyes) YES - that's exactly what it would have reminded me of if I had known that story. Thanks for the laugh Rudee :)
ReplyDeleteHey, face it....you look good in red. Cool cap.
ReplyDeleteThese days a lot of people are worried about money. What was it I saw recently? A sign that said, "I can't believe how hard I have to work to be this broke. Haha! Too true.
S
Yes yes! That's me. Short stories!
ReplyDeleteI leave the worrying about income to Marc. He leaves the generating income to me. Seems to work out.
Both hats look good on you, but I prefer your crown of red wool.
ReplyDeleteYour hat has had quite an adventure!! I don't blame Titus for wanting it. I think it's pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteCant wait to see the adventures of the super cool head topper!
ReplyDeleteI think I've got a case of the autumn's myself
Love both hats. I think you just looks good in hats!
ReplyDeleteI just got back from "up north" and got a taste of autumn. I miss it already, because here it is still 90º and humid.
ReplyDeleteLove BOTH hats!
I'm still enamored of the Big Red Floppy. What can I say?
ReplyDeleteI don't worry about money nearly so much now that I've given up any thought of retirement. One does what one can.
I did try a number of cutting-back measures over the summer. One thing I tried was substituting generic kitty treats for Miss Dixie. She wouldn't touch them. So, off they went to the animal shelter, and off I went to the grocery to get what the local royalty demanded. Sigh.
Your cap is quite the traveler!
