Well that was a comprehensive list of questions! I like my Uggs and you didn’t offend me. Many blessings in 2020! It will be a whole new world for you with a new career and everything.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vee...and keeping you in prayer, my friend. smiles.
DeleteWow, that’s some list ...
ReplyDeleteFamily issues are the worst. I hope yours aren’t as bad this year.
Well...legally we have 'custody' of my mother in law and her husband, they are allowed to live independently, but we have full control of every aspect; financial and health. It is a struggle that I am sure many people have to deal with.
DeleteI agree with songbird's crazy world, family issues are the worst.
ReplyDeleteI wear jogging pants with sweatshirts in the winter … hope that doesn't
offend anyone.
Congrats with a new career.
Have a good day.
LOLOL. NO offense, if I know no one is coming over, you will often find me in pj bottoms/pants. LOL
DeleteEvery year I'm on this earth is a good year, but this year had a lot of health challenges. I was blessed with travel this year and loved getting to Scotland and Ireland. I'm in the leggings club, with long shirts. One thing I've found in getting older, I don't think about other people's opinions. Take care and a big monkey hello from Pep.
ReplyDeleteOHHHHHHHHHHHH I am so jealous you got to go to Scotland and Ireland. I had two professors who did the same and also the Netherlands. They were sending/emailing back photos...one day...
DeleteOn the leggings issue, I was mainly speaking of myself, I don't think anyone wants to see a thick girl in those kinds of pants, LOLOL.
Waving to Pepe. smiles
Oh yes!!! Yellowstone! I love that show. Loved your answers! Have a Happy New Year 2020!

Happy New Year Lori!!! So glad I met you, smiles.
DeleteNo regrets … YAY! My granddaughters look great in theirs, but my legs were never meant for leggings/whatever … even when I was 10. (LOL) I just wish it wasn't so hard to find ladies slacks that actually come up to my natural waist. I'd not heard of Yellowstone, but will check it out!
ReplyDeleteOh....on the leggings thing, I am "thick" and I don't think anyone wants to see that, LOLOLOL. I'm short and its so hard to find jeans that fit on my waist, sigh. I wear Wrangler jeans because they fit nice.
ReplyDeleteYellowstone is pretty rough-language and violence...look it up -its on the Paramount channel.
We have a leggings store at our local mall - so many different types but I would never dare try to wear one and I'm glad you agree. My haircut was on Boxing Day (well, the day after Christmas) so we were thinking alike there. But: How I ever wish for peace on a 24 hour stretch that included an attack at a church and an attack at a rabbi's home - and that we Americans who are on different ends of the political spectrum can somehow find our way back to listening and working together instead of tearing our country apart.
ReplyDeleteAh... patience. Glad I'm not alone! These were tough questions! I am so proud of you, Linda! Your journey has not been easy and you are a strong woman! Kudos, and on to a happy 2020!
ReplyDeleteI used to feel that way about leggings...and then I tried them. I love them and wear them quite a bit, but always with longer tunic tops so you aren't really looking at my big butt or anything else unsightly. lol
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to check out Yellowstone and then I forget.
You should be proud, very proud, of all you've accomplished this year!
I Linda. I totally agree with you about leggings. I am a jeans and plaid flannel kind of gal - love, love, love my plaid flannels in the winter! Yep, our 2019 has had ups and downs too, but I am trying to focus on the good. Life is, after all, about 50/50 50% good and 50% not so much. Enjoy your last couple of days of 2019. Josh gets back to his college classes on January 6 for winter semester. When do you go back?
ReplyDeleteI wear leggings but not the super skin-tight ones. They look good on me so my family says, so I stick with it. I get them from Walmart and they are cheap, cheap, cheap!! Which is all I can afford anymore.
ReplyDeleteI don't get offended since I know where you are coming from I think. I don't like seeing them on some women but on others it can look okay. Over all I might not like something but then I can say, oh, ok.. on her its not bad. I hope next year sees a change in family situation there. I am hoping for a spinal change.. I am so sick of this.
WOW! Now that is a list. I know you even better now. I do wear leggings under a long skirt to keep warmer; I wear them around the house but never out in public to be seen. I have found a store with cheap ($5.00) ones and I buy them. Have never worn uggs and I am not offended. Hugs
