Preserve the Rhyme

Attempt #2 on the awkward dress involves layering it under another dress.  I am a fan, but I had to add green tights, because I felt a little too dark.  You will notice it snowed again, so I'm still wearing boots, unfortunately. 

I have a complaint to lodge with Contemporary Christian artists, and I don't think there's a formal complaint lodging process, so I'll just blog about it.  See, I like old hymns, and I generally like it when someone records a more modern version, as long as they don't change it up too much (or add a terrible praise chorus in the middle for no reason).  On the radio today, I heard one of my favorite hymns, but the artist had updated all the thee/thou/thy language to be you/your.  Okay, I understand the reasoning behind this, because nobody says "thou" anymore - BUT this song rhymes, and when you change "thee" to "you", it doesn't rhyme anymore.  It just sounds weird, and I'm pretty sure anyone who is listening can figure out what "thou" means.

Green Giant

I love colorful tights as much as the next fashion blogger, but I always feel a little bit like Peter Pan or this guy when I wear my green ones.  With that in mind, I try to keep the rest of my outfit more subdued.  Green tights just gives a little extra holiday cheer, right?

Speaking of holiday cheer, there's just one more day and then it is Christmas!  I might be just a little bit excited.

Peter Pan Syndrome

This outfit is from last Wednesday, which turned out to be a kind of ridiculous day.

First, I overslept.  Then, I could not decide what to wear.  After trying on no less than 12 different items of clothing, I gave up had a stroke of genius and decided on this dress.  I thought I would spice it up a bit with a belt and my new green tights.  Then I felt like Peter Pan, so I wore boots to minimize the amount of visible green leg.

I was running late as I ran out the door and backed out of my driveway.  I pushed the button to close the garage - nothing.  So, I pulled up closer and pushed the button again.  It's not moving.  So I ran into the garage, and punched in the code on the number keypad - nothing.  So I ran in and pushed the button by the door, it starts to close, so I run out, carefully hopping over the sensors.  As I'm getting into my car, the door stops closing and reverses to fully open position.  So annoying!  I try a few more times, and it's not going to close.  I called John to ask him for advice.  After determining that we had no idea what was wrong, I just had to close it manually.  Then I had to brave our front porch, which was covered in snow!  I made it to my meeting just 10 minutes late.  John was able to fix the garage door.  No problem!

When I got home from work, I checked the mail for the first time in several days.  There was a Valentine's Day present from my mom!  When I picked it up, it made a strange sound.  My first thought was that she had sent something breakable and it was shattered.  My second thought was Legos.  But really, why would my mom send me Legos??

Because she is awesome, is why!  And because the Lego girl shares my name, and my hairstyle.  And she's apparently a rock star, which I have always wanted to be. 

Green tights + a new toy = I will never grow up!
