I’ve told you before I live in a rather backwoods rural area. Don’t get me wrong, we do have paved roads and indoor plumbing; c’mon there’s a Walmart (two actually) for crying out loud. That makes it civilized, right? Our house is in a development that has been here since the 1940’s. There’s still a lot of woods remaining in different areas throughout the development. Woods means animals, which is cool with me. I’m a fan of animals. But the wildlife around here is almost domesticated; they’re not really impressed by humans. One animal I’m not a huge fan of is birds, although like I explained here the fact that they wear bird pants kind of made them a little less terrifying. One bird (okay, two) that I’d still be creeped out by even if they were wearing a plaid/floral print mix are crows and turkey vultures. Just ew. The other day a few blocks from my house when I happened upon a crow standing proudly with the roadkill he’d found, again, just ew. I slowed the car down so that he’d fly away. He looked up at the car, strutted around the opossum like he’d killed it himself and gave me a look like, “Ya, what you lookin’ at beeatch?” And he did not fly away. I actually had to drive the car around him. Arrogant-a$$ crow.
To further support my hooligan theory I recently saw a group (it was a group, not a herd) of deer contemplating breaking into a car. Again, a few blocks from house one night while on my way to the store, I saw something moving near a car in a driveway. I slowed down to check it out and it was a deer. With his snout actually pressed up against the car window looking inside. Whaaat??? I went on my way and when I came back by about ten minutes later there were three of them. This time surrounding the other car in the driveway and all with their faces against the windows looking inside.
Now on to fashion news. I finally found a white blazer that fits me. Although I’m an elfin-size girl, I have really broad shoulders/lats and that makes it rather difficult to find blazers that fit without needing a tailor. I have two, but neither fits quite right. This one on the other hand works. Perhaps it’s due to the boxier cut; there’s even room for a top with sleeves under it without me swimming in it. The striped top is the final color from Old Navy. I wore the green one here and the blue here. I obviously love them since I have all three colors, and the top is on clearance right now so snap one up while you still can. I finished everything off with white Converse, because seriously, what goes better with a white blazer than white Converse?
