You have to wonder about your fucking life when you change out of the overalls you are wearing because they are your dress-up overalls and you do not want to mess them up by working in the yard in them. And your dress-up overalls are at least ten years old and have a broken buckle.But they're black. And velvet.
So you go put on the denim ones before you grab your clippers and the wheelbarrow.
Funny--I was just wondering about my own fucking life when I realized I have been wearing the same pajama pants for almost 24 hours now.
ReplyDeleteAnd they have tweety bird on them.
They were a gag gift, but the good folks outside when I went to take pictures of the winter wonderland didn't know that :)
If dress up and yard work overalls are a part of your life, then that sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSJ's comment cracked me up b/c I too am still in PJs on this fine Saturday morning. I took the dog out so he could do his business and I'm sure the neighbors just shook their heads.
It says you're a real woman.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that.
Thanks for the chuckle. Of COURSE the black velvet ones are dressy.
I am too short to wear overall but I love them, and what it says about you is that you know what is important in life, quote me.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
ReplyDeletePardon the pun... but... you are a stitch!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the zuppa and eggs!!! The punkin bread is in the oven. Will bring some over later.

Hmm. I think it says that you've had the man in your life a long time... and that the other man in your life is just that little bit too young...
ReplyDeleteSJ- PJ's are perfectly acceptable in public now. Or so I hear.
ReplyDeleteJill- You are allowed to wear anything when you take the dog out. I swear- this is a law.
Bethany- I knew you'd understand.
Allegra- Lord, I hope so.
Elizabeth- "Sigh" in a good way or "sigh" in a she's-lost-her-mind-way?
Ms. Fleur- You are not supposed to return eggs in the form of pumpkin bread. But of course we will take it!
Jo- I believe you are right.
what it says about you is that 1. you are down to earth and 2. you have a fantastic sense of humor and 3. you understand that black velvet rocks.
ReplyDeleteI put on jeans, got soaked from the waist down from 3 feet of snow and then came back in. However, all will be glad to know I put on NEW pj pants.
ReplyDeleteThat will likely stay on for another 24 hours....
Whatever it says about you, and whether or not we are able to articulate what we *think* it says about you, it is inescapably part of the you we love, and the you we would not change a molecule of.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Angie at Eat Here
It says that you are a woman who knows what the term "appropriate dress" means =o) N2
ReplyDeleteWell, they are black velvet.
ReplyDeleteYou look very nice in your black velvet overalls. I always covet them when I see you in them.
ReplyDeleteBlack. Velvet. Dress. Overalls.
ReplyDelete...
You're my hero.
Maggie May- I'll certainly agree with #3.
ReplyDeleteSJ- And don't you feel all nice and cozy now?
Angie C- Well, my molecules are most comfortable in overalls. I admit that.
N2- And I have made a life around that statement. Sigh.
Angie M- EXACTLY!
May- You may have them when I die, dear.
Just.Kate- We all need black velvet overalls, don't you think?
no one in my household changed out of their pajamas today.
ReplyDeletewhen i was a real gardener i used to do just the opposite; a 40minute ride to the dirt road which led to town (meaning no visitors to catch me doing yard work) and yet i would gussie-up in some sort of ridiculous costume before i stepped outside...sequined sombreros, lace peticoats, whale-boned corsets, you name it.
anything to give myself a good chuckle.
then i'd change into my overalls and sunhat when i went to town.
xo
p.s. i LOVE your new header photo!
Adrienne- Oh. You and my Lis would be best friends forever. She calls me from her garden and I just KNOW she is wearing petticoats.
ReplyDeleteReally? Do you love it? That's right over my sink. What I look at when I wash the dishes.
Love it!
ReplyDeleteblack velvet dressy overalls.
ReplyDeleteyou win. you totally win. that made me giggle.
Oh I giggled at this one. I think you need a tiara to go with your black velvet.
ReplyDeleteDress up overalls :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Ms Moon, I think it tells that you know what really good life is while you still try to comply with the f.... society telling you to be nice and proper etc. etc. ! my own dress-up overalls are also black and 8 years old !:) the only thing which may compete with our dear overalls are our very dear grandkids, right ? (my grandson has just started to walk !)
