Amazing what you can do when you have no clean clothes

[trinityvixen]

I dropped my clothes off to do the ol' wash-and-fold last weekend and haven't had time to retrieve them. So when I wanted to look somewhat nice (but not too nice because I have to work) for my birthday, I was looking at slim pickings for an outfit. I threw together an old green tank top, a new white skirt I got from Target but had yet to find time to wear, the surplus blazer I nabbed upstate in case my interviewin' suit didn't work out, and--FINALLY!--my black-and-white striped pumps that I got, no joke, more than 10 years ago from Hot Topic and have never found occasion to wear. I've gotten lots of compliments from my lab on the shoes alone, but I apparently put together an outfit gud when I don't have much choice. Lesson for the future perhaps.

Short skirts and high heels make me feel reeeeeeally girly, so I'm trying not to prance today. Especially since I officially turn decrepit, as fairest let me know in an e-mail this morning. Too old for prancing. Not too old to go get a pepsi and stick a straw in it and giggle, I hope, because that's what Imma gonna do. Peace, y'all!

Hurray for decrepitness!

Oh right, Good Friday. Must suck for Catholics with birthdays over the next few days. Feels good to be irreligious.

But thanks!

Emphasis on the word yet. I did actually make it past 4:11 pm, so even if I die in ten seconds, I won't get put down as being in my 20s in the obit. Alas!

Thank you!

Now you've got me singing that song. Damn it, Disney's Alice in Wonderland!

And thank you!

The straw is fine. It's the can of soda you want to steer well clear of.

Thank you kindly!

Thank you madam! I shall see you soon to celebrate proper.

It has its uses. I'll be eating off of that seniors menu at Denny's in no time!

You can never be sure where that straw has been!

Darkwing!!!! When did he age!? What!? AHHH!!!

Thank you!

Heh. It was the episode "Going Nowhere Fast," when DW was zapped by Negaduck's particle accelerator. He got super speed, but also aged at an accelerated rate. To reverse it, he ran backwards, naturally. So that's something you might try if old age becomes too much for you.
