My new corduroy dress was just waiting for me at Goodwill yesterday!
It was made for me: It is Long. The sleeves are Very Long. It's a deep plummy purple. It is also like new- and it's soft! It has gathers and a tie. =)
Embroidery and buttons on the front.
God is so very good, I have been looking for that dress for a long time now. The trick must be to shop off season!
(to bad there is no "off season" for denim skirts- which is what I went in there for. Is it too much to ask for one of those that fits?)

The following is for entertainment purposes only...
Well, I feel like Miss Bella Wilfer, (from Our Mutual Friend) I don't care for people "speculating on me!".....As of yesterday I have had 5 "matches" suggested to me or for me. =[
1. the first was a few years ago. A relative told Mom about the fellow & brought him to meet me. (and he has since married!)
2. Not long after, at a meetup a friend of ours asked my age, and then proceeded to tell me about his sons....(that actually was the most subtle)
3. Man number three: last year Mom was talking politics with a friend on the phone and our friend said that she knew a nice Christian boy who was really active in politics.....
4. On Saturday at the rally a perfect stranger says hi, I'm so-and-so. I said that I was Adrienne, Debbie's daughter, and she asked if I was home schooled, I said yes, and she said we home schooled too! How old are you? I told her, and she got excited and said that their son was my age!!!! (I left as quickly as I could!)
5. And then yesterday one of Mom's "tea party" friends called her up to chat about some local stuff, and then to tell her about his grandson(who is a very good boy) and to ask if I was like her, and wondered if I could talk to the boy on the phone, or e-mail or something...hmm....Mom told him that we don't do that dating stuff, so her friend tried to think of another way- like maybe G-son should write to mom? And maybe he should give us a photo....
Oh well, I try not to begrudge people their fun...as long as they don't go too far, and I have never had to tell any poor boy that he was talking to the wrong person!
I am still safe and sound and free! =)

Julie & Julia
Mom and I watched Julie and Julia last night. (with a filter of course (click here) I found it a very happy and yet at the same time a rather sad movie. I wished that I could have watched it with Mary, Elizabeth & Sarah too...that would have been fun. And Mrs. Lauer would love it! =)
We had previously watched a documentary thing on Julia Child- she makes me think of my self: tall & awkward, did not really seem to fit in and not good at any thing. Who ended up taking up cooking for the fun of it. (Julie on the other hand was already a good cook who just took it to the next level!)
So far I am doing what I was born into, and yet not very well. I just don't have a thrill or much of a desire to do it or to get better at it.... When people say "So what do you do?" I would like to say something rather than nothing. (I do not tell people that I watch too many movies, and try not to say that I love children's books)
All that I know that I do well is dishes and laundry.
Oh help dear void! What can I do?
I want something to do- to be good at- I don't need to be famous. Just content.
