Sunbeams on Snow

My own personal soapbox... make of it what you will. As far as the title... a memorable moment in life was when I lived overseas, and announced that I wanted to have it snowing outside and still be sunny. My friends said I was crazy. But you know what? The next day: sunbeams on snow. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking.

Closet Tag!

I am sad to say, I am the latest victim in this bizarre online game of "Closet Tag". The "perp" in this case, is Mel ,and she is now warned that I intend to throw old incontinent rodents at her if this post doesn't end up at least mildly amusing. I'd never in a million years post about my closet otherwise, but I don't want to be a spoilsport, so here goes...


Three Random Facts About My Closet:
1) There are two entire shelves devoted to gift wrapping supplies/materials/crap. Bows and paper and whozamawhuzzit's that you're supposed to attach to gifts to make them look pretty. They are all remnants of my Martha Stewart phase of life, which I hit at approximately 18 years of age. Pathetic, I know.
2) In addition to shelves for shoes and gift wrapping junk and guns and whatnot, there is also a bookshelf inside my closet. With books on it. I'm not sure WHY it's there, other than I ran out of wallspace in the rest of the house, or when I intend to sit in my closet and read a book. Maybe I'll start putting myself in "Mommy Time Out"s in the closet, just so I can read.
3) My husband has as many pairs of shoes as I do - and he's anal retentive about them being lined up in order. Punk.

Three Items I've Never Worn But Still Haven't Tossed:
1) An ugly-@ss nursing shirt. I keep it because no matter how bad I look, I can always look at it and think, "Well, at least I'm not wearing THAT." and feel better about myself.
2) A ridiculously tight black dress that I bought when I was 19, and never had the guts to wear. I just like to look at it and remember a time when I COULD have worn it if I wanted to.
3) Leopard-print bellbottom spandex pants. I will NEVER EVER wear them, but they were a joke purchase on a trip back to New Orleans with a good friend. And I was the lucky one - she ended up with weird metallic mesh pants that look like they could transmit radio signals to outer space. :oP

Three Items I'll Never Get Rid Of, No Matter How Ugly They Get:
1) The "United States Navy Rescue Swimmer" sweatshirt that supposedly belongs to my husband.
2) My neon orange bellbottoms. They glow in the dark. Should the power ever go out at night, I'll just wrap them around my head in lieu of a headlamp. :oD
3) The green and white bellbottom jumpsuit I inherited from my mom - it was what she was wearing when she and my dad got engaged.

Three Items People Wouldn't Expect To Find In My Closet:
1) The Constitution of the United States. It's on the bookshelf, which is something people probably wouldn't to expect either. Haha.
2) A hoopskirt and other related items.
3) Ice skates. I love to ice skate, even if the closest rink is 20 miles away from me.

Three items that made me go, "Oh Lord, what was I thinking?":
1) The aforementioned neon orange bellbottoms.
2) A red and white checkered dress that looks like Marsha Brady being attacked by a picnic table. I haven't worn it since I was 14 and could get away with stupid outfits like that.
3) Anything with the word "corset" in the description.

Three things that I have a surprising number of:
1) Coats. For a girl who lives in a town with approximately 12 cold days a year, I have a ridiculously large collection of coats. At least 20.
2) Hats. I never wear them, but I like to know that I could if I wanted to.
3) Formal gowns. There was a time when I wanted to be a designer - so I made/designed a different gown for every formal event in high school/college. I don't have the courage to count them all, since I might feel obligated to give some of them away.

Three dominant colors in my wardrobe:
1) Red
2) Black
3) Brown

Three items that never fail to put me in a good mood whenever I wear them:
1) Great fitting jeans
2) My red dress from Express.
3) My character shoes. They look like normal heels, but they're comfortable enough to dance in, jump in, be a moron in, or just act like a normal human being. :) I wore them in my wedding, since I refused to wear uncomfortable shoes.

Three people I will tag:
I can't tag anyone at this moment. Everyone I know has already been tagged. Apparently, I was the last person picked for the team, and there ain't no one left to pick. (sob, sob). Oh well.
