Button Sunday


This post was overdue. Blame Flickr and WordPress. Or Mercury could be culpable, too, and it’s always fun to blame things on a planet other than our own.

One of the groups I watch on Flickr is Wardrobe Remix. I like seeing how “regular” people put their fashion together and where it comes from, especially the people who are able to do so much with thrifted pieces. I’m using their format from now on to give credit (and links, where possible) to those who give me things that later show up on this blog. For example:

Coffee cup–Timothy J. Lambert
Button–Marika

Meanwhile, tell me in comments, please, what are you reading? I’m reading Gail Levin’s Lee Krasner: A Biography.

I put “regular” in quotation marks, above, because I find everyone extraordinary. I’m just noting the difference between the people who post their photos to this group and famous fashionistas.

Button Sunday

Somebody gave me this button years ago, and I figured I’d never use it for a Button Sunday. When I moved from LiveJournal to here, I resolved to give as little of my blog real estate as possible to people who I find deplorable. If I wouldn’t invite someone into my home, why would I let him/her hang out here?

But I decided if ever there were a time to use it, it’s this week. I really don’t care what politics you espouse, there are lines that decent people don’t cross. I can’t think of a single group he hasn’t exploited and mocked for his own personal gain; this past week, it just happened to be my gender.

Do I believe in free speech? Of course. I also believe exercising that freedom doesn’t mean there are no consequences when we choose our words unwisely.

Wisdom has never been a trait of bullies.

Button Sunday

It’s Super Bowl Sunday!

I couldn’t find a funny football button, so I went with a good non sequitur button.

On the television: the game.

On the table: the crack dip with Wheat Thins, chips, veggie platter and ranch dressing.

In the crock pot: Italian meatballs for subs.

In the oven: brownies baking.

In the living room: Tom and my sister wife.

On the computer: me.

Have a great day!
