Hey does that mean I’ll be in style? FINALLY! Me oh so practical, wear comfortable clothes in natural fibers and finally, finally I’ll be fashionable….

or maybe not. Darn, there is always something a little off about me. I wear scarves (love em) on my head tied under my chin when I ride bike or the segway (our other car) because otherwise my ears get too much wind and I get an earache. People stare at me and think I’m retarded or something…. oh well.

At least the thrift store has a good supply of scarves.
