From Deltabama to Eternity

Tie o’ the Day #1 is an olive Wembley bow. Shirt is a Kohl’s Sonoma. The clashin’ o’ the green is what we have here. Makes me happy.

Tie o’ the Day #2’s shirt is from Rue 21’s CARBON line. The green and lavender tie itself is an original, one-of-a-kind design by Suzanne. She did not come up with the idea to crochet me some ties: I begged her to do it for me. I told her, however, to be done with that assignment, after she had created the second crochet-tie. She told me right at the beginning of the endeavor that it wouldn’t really work, and I knew it wouldn’t. But Suzanne is so cute when her craft-for-Helen face comes over her. I make sure to convince her to craft for my own purposes whenever I can think of a project I happen to want. She’s a bigly sport about my whims.

EXHAUSTION ALERT!!! I was driving in the car, listening to Mom, for three hours straight today. There were absolutely no sounds of silence. She says she can’t catch her breath anymore, so she must be capable of speaking without breathing. I love Mom sooooo much. She is a legend. But she wears me out now with her same stories. Constant, same stories. And so I find myself sitting at my keyboard, too tired to type any more words tonight. I’m hoping I can sleep–outside of language.
