Witty & Wise Ties, Trivia & Lies
Bow Tie o’ the Day is hangin’ loose. We’re tired from chillin’ with Mom. Mom is still her lovely self, but she’s kinda high maintenance at 87. I didn’t sleep well there, cuz I was always checking to see if she was still breathing. I didn’t eat much, cuz Mom just kinda snacks throughout the day, instead of eating meals. I slept well here last night, but now I’m hungry, so I’m deciding whether to go with Shirt’s suggestion of fish tacos, or ‘Link’s suggestion of macaroni and cheese. 🤔
Tie o’ the Day is part of a dog-themed ensemble: all dogs, all clothes. Although there’s a theme, the look is still eye-catching and non-matchy. I’m a dog– and neckwear– missionary. If you aren’t a dog person, you’re missing out. They really are like shorter-than-us people. I’ve lived with a host of dogs, and I can attest to the fact that their personalities are distinct. Suzanne never wanted dogs, but I told her I’m a package deal. Now, she’s a fan. Maybe “resigned” is more accurate. 🐕
Wood floppy Bow Tie o’ the Day and I just returned from the mall’s tie store. We were last here in St. George in December, and that’s the only other time I’ve visited this particular tie store. But the manager remembered me, and she greeted me like we were decades-old tie pals. It’s not about me. It’s the power o’ the neckwear. 👔 Hey, here’s my replacement mini keg. (No ties on it. 😭) I didn’t mean to match-clash my keg and shirt, but I’m liking it. Serendipity happens! 🤡
We’re packing up for a trip to St. George, to spend time with Mom for a few days. You can see that I travel light. All I need is a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and plenty o’ future Bow Ties o’ the Day. That’s it, as far as clothing is concerned. I carry a “few” extra bow ties, because I never know what I’ll be in the mood to wear. You just can’t plan for some things. Contest: How many bow ties are in my suitcase?
Bow Tie o’ the Day and Shirt o’ the Day exploded into eye-warping clash, and glasses Cufflinks o’ the Day helped me take in the smash-up. My sorta psychedelic style makes it easier for Suzanne to find me in store aisles when I wander away like I’m a toddler. We were shopping at AT HOME, and thirty minutes ago, I snuck out and drove home. When she texts me for my whereabouts in the store, I’ll drive back and sneak inside. She’ll never know I was gone.
Tie o’ the Day punctuates the spiffiness of my all-CHECKS, all-day duds. I wrote CHECKS to pay bills this afternoon, which meant I had to find the CHECKbook and CHECK the bank balance. I’ve CHECKED to see how Mom’s doing. I CHECKED the mail. I CHECKED-off things on my honey-do list. I CHECKED the oil in Hombre. I CHECKED my blood pressure. I even ate CHEX mix. If only I could figure out a way to wear a CHECKerboard. But hey, the day ain’t over yet. 🤡
I wanted to accentuate beauteous Tie o’ the Day by showcasing it against a solid-color shirt. But Tie felt lonely without clash, so I paired it with a camo-esque shirt. The ensuing clash made me feel less a stranger in this world, as well. I don’t match. I don’t care that I don’t match. I don’t mind when other people match. Don’t try to make me match. I was born to be singularly effervescent and vocal. Speaking of those qualities… tomorrow, Mom’s coming for many sleepovers. 😺 😃
Bow Tie o’ the Day and I had a travel day, accompanied by our pink Cadillac ‘Links. Bow Tie is a wood-looking, but acrylic, little piece– cut from flooring. How cool is that? We’re gonna rip up our living room carpet soon, and we’ll be installing wood laminate. Bow Tie gave me a fantabulous idea: I wanna cut the laminate into tie and bow tie shapes and styles, and then install them as our new floor. My tootsies would never stop dancing on a tie floor. 👯 🕺 💃
Bow Tie o’ the Day is whispering that it’s time for Miss Tiffany to cut my hairs again. Bow Tie is wise. Even though she remembers, I always tell Miss Tiffany to make sure she cuts my hairs in such a way that I can do good sticky-up, and can have some grand cowlick-ing expressing itself. Miss Tiffany is much in demand, so it takes a while to get an appointment with her. When we finally get together for snipping, we enjoy comparing our tattoos. 💇 💈
Bow Ties/Tie o’ the Day add their panache to the clash-a-rama of my entire get-up. The hot-ness of this sexy outfit is undeniable. Thus, my fire extinguisher Cufflinks o’ the Day are absolutely necessary for my safety, and for the safety of passers-by. Skitter nearly went up in flames when she nuzzled against my shouting duds. The scene was like an Old West shoot-out. Skitter almost got singed, so I drew my trusty fire extinguishers. I shot that spark dead! Skitter’s wisely keeping her skittish distance. 🔥
