It’s official. We now have a house on the water. So what if the water used to be our yard. Word on the street is, it’s not supposed to rain today. I’ll believe that when I see it. And the very best part of all of this precipitation? My most favorite thing in all the world. Bugs. Not just any bugs, mind you. Bugs with wings. And suitcases. And tiny bug cell phones. Why suitcases? Because apparently they’re under the impression they are welcome to stay awhile. And why cell phones? Because they’re calling all of their damn friends and family to come and stay too because apparently they didn’t have flood insurance. I do tend to get hyperbolic when discussing insects and spiders because they freak me out, but let me assure you, in the last several days I have found hundreds, yes hundreds, of flying ants and their tiny crawling cousins roaming around my dining room and kitchen. They are actually swarming. Ew. And no, thankfully they aren’t termites. Just this morning I knocked two of them unconscious with a tiny baseball bat (okay, my sandal) and snatched them up with tweezers for an impromptu dissection. Impromptu dissection, how many times in life do you get to use those words together in a sentence? In any case, definitely, 100% ants. Although that doesn’t make them any less horrifying; not when there’s enough of them to gang up on me and steal my lunch money. I’ve been spraying the suckers down with Windex (hey, a girls gotta improvise) and then after it dries I suck them up in the vacuum. How’s that for making them feel unwelcome?
Due to the aforementioned wetness, this outfit is from awhile back. You know, back before all of my mulch floated away. I have to say this outfit was exactly like wearing pajamas to work. Everything about it was soft, drapey, slouchy comfortableness. Because of the lightweight fabric of all three pieces it flowed instead of looking sloppy. And there is a fine line between slouchy and sloppy. It’s hard to put into words, but you know it when you see it. I suppose it’s subjective though; someone else might look at this and see sloppy where I see slouchy fabulousness. I think that if the pieces fall right and there is a dressy element to it, e.g., the lace details and silk-like fabric, that keeps the look safely out of sloppy territory.
