Grumble, grumble ...

(Layout and credits can be found here.)

If you've stopped in for lightness, froth and bubble ... you've come to the wrong blog, lol! I'm sooooo tired and grumpy and uninspired at the moment ... still not recovered from our 'holiday', still nowhere caught up with my scrapping commitments, still staying up way too late at night! Work is hard and relentless, my house is still chaotic after the unpacking took place in the middle of it, kids are grumpy too, DH has a heavy cold and is exhausted ... ok, I did warn you, lol!

The daughter and I did an enforced shopping trip tonight. She has a week long excursion starting this weekend, back down to the cold parts of the country, and of course, she has grown so much in the last few months that none of her jeans fit her any more. Length-wise, I mean. She is a total stringbean, but very tall for her age. I started this shopping trip with fear and trepidation, because even though it is still winter, all the shops have their summer range out on the shelves. And yes, we did find some jeans, but waaaaay up in the expensive range, and not what I had in mind. Moving on ...

I'm wondering tonight why more people don't look in their mirrors in the morning and decide to stay indoors, in the interests of not offending the rest of the world. I saw a girl walking along with her denim skirt down sooo low, I could see two inches of stuff I really shouldn't have to look at that late in the day (or any time in the day, for that matter!), and left with the certainty that should someone give her skirt a gentle tug, it would slither down to sit comfortably on her shoes, along with her undergarments ... if she was wearing any.

I saw strange and singularly unattractive combinations of summer and winter garb! I saw shoppers with obscene language on the tshirts, in very large and easy to read fonts. I notice fonts, you know! I saw really baaaaad colour combinations ... I saw it was time to take myself and my daughter home ... so after the essentials ... jeans, a new book, dinner of a Sweet Banana Crepe (crepe, bananas, syrup, whipped cream, chocolate ice-cream) ... we did just that.

I've just looked at the time ... 11.47 pm, so I spose I had better chase that essay-writing DH off to bed, and myself as well. Tomorrow, a new freebie and a new layout or two ... catch you then!
