I'm stil cool . . . er . . .right?

I was shopping at Trader Joes and a young twenty something store employee stopped me, "Mam", she said, (Mam?? is she really talking to me? mam??) "where did you get your cardigan?" (now that's more like it) "LOFT" I answer. And she stares blankly--"you know, Ann Taylor's LOFT?" Still blank. So I instruct her where to find a store, and move along. So I have found my niche-my choice of caridigan color-still cool, my choice of store to purchase it at--only cool to those of us "Mams".

Hook me up

I've been searching all over for a blessing outfit for Beck. Alas, nothing has turned up unless I want him to wear something shiny or with a tacky vest or weird pleats. All of which is a big fat NO. I am considering this as a part of his outfit:

It's called a Christening Cape. No kiddin?

So please someone help--He's supposed to be blessed in December. Something simple and not creepy looking.

P.S. Did they have the internet in the early 80's???? Because if so--I went back in time today. Check THIS and don't forget to checkout their Second Page.

For real?

Cicily said...: I did brown pants and a white dress shirt for the Goose. I don't think you need to wear white, but that hood is nice if you want him to have a complex.; November 10, 2008 at 2:14 PM
Anonymous said...: We have blessed our 3 boys in nice pants and a sweater vest. There is nothing that says it has to be white. The children's place has some really cute stuff.; November 12, 2008 at 7:45 AM
