And so we come to the end of yet ANOTHER spin around the sun. Sometimes I wonder if I’ll survive another spin. But that’s rather… well… morbid.
I got an email from an author I follow. She loves New Years and what not. Weird considering most of the posts I’m seeing HATE New Years. I’m rather meh about the whole thing. It’s signals the end of winter break, I return to school in 2 days, but I also tend to reminisce on things I wish I had done. I didn’t do resolutions for years, but now that I’m OLD and my body is reminding me of that I need to take care of me.
For those who hang out at RABBBWW, i did a post of resolutions. Mine were pretty straight forward – lose weight and more than a pound. (The goal is 10 but I’d like to get under a specific mark, which is doable if I bite the bullet) bring my blood sugar to a reasonable number for good, read, knit, write, exercise…
I was looking at it and NONE of it mentioned music, which is my love and passion.
Last year I promised not to post so much about clothes. That went well for 5 months and in the last 3, went completely down hill. Sorry not sorry. I love clothes and I love shoes, Michelle wants modeling pictures. I remember when I was one…
I’ll never see that youth again.
But I love clothes…
That’s my summer closet. The winter closet is making my bar SAG by at least 2 inches in the middle.
Shoes? Let’s not discuss shoes. I have NO WHERE to put another pair. 24 pairs of shoes, 3 pairs of booties, 2 pairs of boots…
I’ve added I think one, maybe two pairs since this picture was taken.
I will not promise to post no more clothes pictures. Nope. Clothes buying NEEDS to slow down. I have bills… clothing… dental… yup. Even with insurance, I’m still going to be shelling out a couple of thousand buckies for the choppers.
ManCandy Monday will return next week. Spawn bought fireworks for tonight, but it’s cloudy and I wonder how much we’ll be able to see.
Which brings us to my top 10 posts.
My top 10 is really top 15 this year. Lots of ties. Yet again, my quiet garden is quiet for the most part, a relaxed atmosphere. I have more friends this year than last. Most of them seem to lurk and that’s okay. I seem to be a busier place of chatter this year. I love chatter. I do.
So…
Number 10.
Zee Couldn’t Sleep…
https://zeesmuse.wordpress.com/2018/09/11/it-is-440-in-the-morning/
Zee was having problems with a LOT of things… the abysmal state of ManCandy and what constitutes as ManCandy or a hot man. We all have different opinions and turn ons. I like cheeky and kilts. Others don’t. We all agree however THIS man is da bomb and the epitome of gorgeous!
Next up, one of several ties for #9
Zee connects the dots – a lot of her RA friends are wanting to start healthier lifesytyles, so she came up with RABBBWW
or Richard Armitage’s Bold Bodacious and Beautiful Well Wishers.

Concerns religion. Or, saying you want to discuss something, when you don’t. You just want to bash with like minds.

Clothes. Sister post to #5.
and #1.
No one should be shocked THIS post was my top post for the year. On one hand, I find it humorous. On the other… maybe I need to make more deep posts that the silliness of my Halloween Outfit.
https://zeesmuse.wordpress.com/2018/10/31/happy-halloween-2/
For the record, I love those pointy shoes, however they need to be taken in for repair as the little piece of elastic holding the buckle on the left on shredded and is holding on by a string. Literally.
And there you have it. My top 10 of the year. Considering how I’ve filled your mailboxes today, I’ll just say now that William Edward is going up later at DreamerFiction. It will go up everywhere else tomorrow – ffnet, Ao3, OEAM, and I believe effn. Just a heads up!
happy New Year, every one!
Happy New Year!! I love that your no 1 post was Halloween when da man posted a silly but sweet Halloween selfie somewhere at some place and your son took a pic of you looking super cute and your comments went nuts !!! See why do I keep hounding you take a pic model !! You’re very photogenic!
My blog post was anti New Years kinda depressing but
I love coming here and chatting! Post all the clothes and Richard pics you want! I’m a happy camper!! 😘😘😘
I hope 2019 brings you much joy and health and less stress and peace!!
Same to you!!!!
Bedtime for me in 2 hours! One more NyQuil night I think 💭👁🎯🎊🎈
DO you work tomorrow? Spawn and I will be going out in a few hours to set off fireworks.
No work tomorrow. My OT class starts st 6:45 I’m hoping
a certain guy is in it. I found out on Sunday he is an early bird during the weekend. The class is 90 minutes but I love the teacher she’s uber cool!! I want to wear a cute tee with a saying on it so he notices but the boobs stick out now so maybe they will get his attention!
I feel coughy still so I want the NyQuil yo expunge any remaining crap from my lungs or wherever it is!
We have rain here and cold! The pups will go ballistic when the fireworks 💥 start in 3.5 hours ugh!!!
My cats will go up under the bed until it’s over.
We might check out the gym tomorrow. I go back to work on Wednesday, kids on Thursday. The 2nd half of the year tends to be worse than the 1st half. So not looking forward to that.
Sending you the best of wishes for the new year! Hugs 🤗🤗
Happy New Year!!!
Everything will be returning to normal after Tuesday, jan 1 2i019, so so hard to believe.
Thank you posting your links ah your closet looks like mine. When I was working I had so many shoes, like you, I had to match my shoes and purses. Just a thing I liked and I really must thank you for all the Guy pictures, to me he was one of the most beautiful actors looking like that with his stubble and guyliner. My thoughts about him, I admit, have waned some but I think it is because he is so not doing anything on TV or the movies. I just do not like BS. Well one can hope. As i always say I spend my NYE with Tom Selleck, I put in an old Magnum tape and put my ear buds in and am not even aware when the old year passes. Like most people I always feel like nothing much was accomplished or changed in my life. Here is hoping everyones New year is better for them. Have a Happy New Year all.
Irish will be lots to chat about in 2019 so quiet time is
good! I’m a clothes horse so I’m beyond ecstatic that I can chat here about fashion and Richard and well hopefully there will be new pics and projects for him this new year! Happy New Year to you and wishing right back at ya health and happiness and harmony 😘👍🎊🎆👏
I just realized I have a 20% off for Roamans for my birthday. Expires tonight I just can’t. Ah well.
Yeah there will be more opportunities down the road!
Spawn didn’t go out w friends tonight?
No, he’s stays tired these days. IT will get worse until that valve is replaced.
And I really need to wait a while before I buy anything else.
Me too!! Let’s do it together!!!
I’ve said for a long time that Richard will be my last celebrity crush. I’m getting to old for this.
I don’t think so but it would be hard to top him!! Physically and mentally he’s a slice of heaven!!
My closet turns over twice a year – Cold and Hot. I have a large Rubbermaid storage bin for Out of season clothes.
Gosh you are organized
My stuff sloshes together in storage bins and those plastic drawers and I mix and match w lot of cardigans and blazers and scarves 😘👍❤️🎯👁🎈
I’ve been this way since I started college. As my wardrobe grew, I had to. Summer clothes. Winter clothes. Right now my summer shoes are in the hanging shoe rack in the closet and my winter shoes are on my shoe shelf next to the bathroom. My booties are under the night stand because I do wear them alot during the winter.
Happy New Year Zee!
Happy New Year to you as well!!!!
A very Happy New Year, Zee and Spawn and everyone. This is a great blog with all the things I enjoy — fashion, books, cats and Mr A of course. Reading it is like sitting back with a coffee among a bright and clever group of people, listening in on all the conversations and nodding along happily.
Aw thank you!!!! Happy New Years to you!!!
Love your cute “young” picture! (We’re still cute and young, right?)
That young woman still lives inside me. She’s wondering how she got trapped…
Trapped?? No no no not trapped. You are freer than you think..
I’m hobbling about. yes, I’m trapped. My young inner woman can’t run in this body.
Oh I thought you meant something else. Well I’m trapped too, its a part of getting older esp after 5-0!!
A little late, but Happy New Year to you too!
