Cuss Word Quota: Boyfriend Jeans, Cashmere Sweater And Graphic Tee

     Tuesday morning my husband had an appointment to have pins removed from his wrist. It’s about an hour drive so we left bright and early at 5:30 a.m. Of course it was pitch dark and it’s deer season so there would be plenty of the local wildlife running amok. Instead of taking the curvy dark back road to get to the interstate, to lessen our chances of an unwanted relationship with a deer, I took a more “main” road, which in our world translates into a slightly wider two-lane road running through woods and cornfields. About a mile and a half from home a fine male specimen of the deer persuasion ran out of a field on my left and kinda trotted up the road beside me. Needless to say much swearing and brake slamming commenced.
     By the time we made it to the interstate it was pouring down rain. I mean pouring. Not cats and dogs. More like mountain lions and timber wolves. I couldn’t see but what seemed like a few feet ahead of me. It was one of those rare times I think I would’ve preferred snow so at least I could see. Add into this hot mess my now overwhelming fear of rocks hitting my windshield (remember, two windshields in the last three months) and I was swearing up a blue streak; sometimes in my head, sometimes out loud. By 7:00 a.m. I had straight up used my quota of cuss words for the day, quite possibly for two or three days.
     At least I was smart enough to dress comfortably. My now favorite boyfriend jeans and a cashmere cardi were just what I needed. Although I think my tee that says “I’m a lady with the vocabulary of a well educated sailor” would’ve been more appropriate all things considered.

Deer are a major problem along the route I take to work, so I understand how scary it is. Loving the color of your cardigan!

Only you would do a pink and red combo without making it look like the Valentine outfit from hell. ;p

Those are cute booties and your hair looks nice. Your humorous writing is always a treat. I came inches from hitting a deer last month and, given the small size of my car (Fiat), it would have been very bad.

Cashmere is so luxurious, I love the feminine colour on you. I also like how your booties are wedge heels, the colour is perfect this time of year.

Glad you made it safely to the doctors for the hubby. I grew up driving in the rain however living in California where it rarely rains, I have noticed that people here do not know how to drive in it. You are better off staying home than be on the road hone it rains here. At least you look cute driving & cussing 🙂

Ugh! As soon as I started reading this I thought “Oh, please tell me she didn’t bust another windshield!” The really great thing about cuss word quotas is that we can set them ourselves… so I don’t think there really is such a thing as exceeding one’s limit! Unless you have a swear jar at home, of course, and have to pay each time you swear and are on a fixed income! On a side note, your boots make me happy! : signe : the daily savant : Indigo Bananas Nail Polish Giveaway $50 A Wild Violet Jewelry Giveaway Rodan… Read more »

Love those red shoes with your jeans! 🙂

Glad you made the trip okay and survived – even if you did get a little heated during it, haha! You got there in one piece which is all that matters 🙂

I always worry about deer on rural roads and that doesn’t sound fun driving in the pouring rain… it always happens when you have to be somewhere at a certain time, too! Those red wedge shoes are so, so fun! And you rock boyfriend jeans, I so don’t!

Your cashmere sweater is looking good with your red shoes. And this is giving a great look to you as well..
