Observations III and PCH II and Cougar

Observations III
Really quick…I completely understand that we’re getting to the end of winter. I understand that we all may be suffering from a little bit of the winter blues and not quite in our right minds. But please people, please don’t allow this to cloud your sanity. Please don’t make the mistake of thinking that if you bust out your spring and summer clothes that will force the temperature to rise to a balmy 85, the trees to bud leaves, flowers to sprout out of the ground fully bloomed and the snow to melt away. It doesn’t work that way. This is Minnesota. We may still be in winter’s grip until May (it’s happened!). All that to say, yesterday the temp was in the mid-twenties, it had snowed approximately 1-2 inches and was pretty windy. Your typical winter day. Why did I see a woman (someone I know, who shall remained unnamed – I know she saw my look of WTH) yesterday in the following ensemble…3/4 sleeve light-weight cotton shirt, black Capri leggings, flats open-toed shoes (sans socks)? I’m just saying…



PCH II
I am still receiving and submitting (DAILY) my Million Dollar entry from Publisher’s Clearing House (see PCH January 2008). Still no luck – obviously. But I’ll let you in on a little secret…I have just been guaranteed that come Patrick’s Day I may be a Million Dollar winner. Ya gotta play to win. Here are some more amusing items that PCH has to offer me and my grandma friends…

Black Turtleneck Lace Dickey
FREE White Dickey (a $15.96 Value)!
When You Buy Black Dickey! A fashionable way to stay warm and comfortable. The lace fabric of this dickey is stretchable and lightweight for optimum comfort and fit. It's great for wearing under sweaters or blouses.

Can’t you just see Grandma Erlene on her way to the senior center with this lacey dickey peeking out from under her Alfred Dunner coordinate? It’s Thursday so they’re going on a field trip to the Mall, don’t cha know. Way to add a little spice to your outfit Grandma!

Pastel Fantasy Satin Caftan
Save 50% Off!
MSRP Of $40.00
Slip into cool, fashionable comfort ...
§ V neck
§ Dolman short sleeves
§ Side-slit hem
§ Machine wash and dry
§ One Size Fits Most (Sizes 8-20)


Then after the senior center drops her (and her gentleman friend) off at home, she can quickly change into this equally spicy caftan for “cool, fashionable and comfortable” entertaining. Get it Grandma!

Playing Cards Rug
Save 50% Off!
MSRP Of $39.99!
It's a sure bet that this soft novelty rug will be a perfect gift for the card-lover in your life! Slip-resistant backing.

(Notice the play on words – in the description. Clever.) For Grandma Mabel, who spends most of her time on the Little Six bus on her way to and from the casino, why not entice her to stay home some afternoons with this lovely rug. Grandma, please stop gambling.




Cougar
(Daddy stop reading)
I don’t know what it is about this little boy. He is just so dang sexy to me. The cougar (older woman into the young men) in me is definitely coming out. Enjoy!
