When I used to work back in Cleveland, my hubby would be continually startled with my credit card bills and would absolutely never encourage me to shop.....<br />Here he doesn't merely encourage but actually tells me to go out and shop...so you can imagine what a change this staying at home has brought about...although at times I feel wistful for the old dressing up days, for the most part this feels like the new normal and feels like it is actually a relief to not bother keep up with the whole dressing up rules!Roonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494084612502988714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854052489604491551.post-9591231196885248772011-06-07T00:51:35.896+05:302011-06-07T00:51:35.896+05:30This is mind-boggling.

But they say that the truly wealthy get that way by working hard and being tight with their money. <br /><br />I'm with you in the comfortable clothing dept. And I can barely put some moisturizer on, much less make-up or the other beauty products most women use. There are times when I should make more effort, but when you've worked at home for 10 years the old standards tend to slip.<br /><br />Incidentlly, I'm guest blogging today at wordsxo on this very topic!

I've actually forgotten what it feels like to dress up...can't seem to tolerate anything on my skin except for the softest, thinnest, loosest stuff I can find...even face cream feels too much no matter how light it is or how thinly it is applied...when I think back to how much I loved dressing up in Cleveland...I feel sort of wistful!!Feels like that was another person!Roonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494084612502988714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854052489604491551.post-37603931983965030342011-06-01T13:04:42.209+05:302011-06-01T13:04:42.209+05:30I'd say my patience for messy progression is g...I'd say my patience for messy progression is growing little by little and I definitely identify about the clothes bit. My mother in law keeps trying to get me to alter my shirts because everything I wear during summer is 2 sizes too big. I can't take the tightly fitted short sleeve kurtas in this heat. And if it has a couple of holes, all the better for air circulation I figure.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958018363973346443noreply@blogger.com
