My Minister Costume


I do look pretty pious, don't you think?  Or at least as pious as someone with D cups can look?

(Please ignore the gigantic rip in my tights.  I had to go to a wake yesterday afternoon and beforehand met my friend Rachel for lunch.  Because my life is a sequel to the Bridget Jones' movies (with less attractive English fellows and more humiliation), I ripped my tights and had to go to the wake looking like I was auditioning for a retro 80s music video.  I just define elegance and grace).

(Also ignore the dog bed in the background.  When I was a kid, as a "Wizard of Oz" fanatic,  I badly wanted to have a dog that I could keep in a basket.  My dog is sixty pounds and wouldn't be able to fit in on a bicycle if Mrs. Gulch came to drag him away, but I am living my childhood dream and he has a basket.  It can't be comfortable for him, but hey, a dream is a dream, right?)

(My smile is weird and has been for months because I try to hide my missing tooth issue.  Six more weeks and the whole stupid experience will be over with.  It still kills me that I didn't work a Halloween costume around it and be a hillbilly or a Palin.  Just a joke, Sarah!  Please don't call me out on your Facebook status!)

I would NOT have noticed any of those things - if you hadn't pointed them out! LOL.

Kerry said...

Me either! If anything you should say that you are not wearing a gigantic crown. that it is just one of mom's obsessional iron grates on the wall.

Kate@And Then I Was a Mom said...

Yes, pious. Also, anointed.

I didn't notice the "crown" until Kerry pointed it out. Now I am crying laughing.

Kerry said...

I thought it was a minister's hat. Also, I am still alive, and reading your blog. For now.

Kim said...

Agreed with the other Kim. I like the dress and wouldn't have noticed anything else. ;)

Kim #1, I always stare at people's backgrounds in pictures. I think it's because my attention span is about as long as my eyelash.

Kerry, I laughed too as I have five of those iron things hanging in my living room. Mom sure runs with a theme, doesn't she?

Kate, I like that! Maybe I'll start a cult with my new-found religious powers. If you send me fifty bucks, I'll consider letting you join.

Anon, it really does look like a crown. Maybe I'll consider wearing that for my birthday this year instead of one of my tiaras.

Aisling, heavy sigh.

Kim 2, thanks! Once again, I shot my own foot off by pointing them out!

Kerry, Good point! And your friend has a kitty named Kim! Everything is circular.
