A Rant for Today

Today I am going to tell you what I do not like. I do not like pantyhose. This is an OLD subject, so I won't rehash other people's views, as I do believe it has all been said. What I WILL rant about is how THGGM is trying to insist that I wear them.

I'm one of those pale skinned Dutch/Irish people. I'm also, to put it in a positive spin, not thin. And, I have very large feet. According to my husband, this makes it necessary for me to wear pantyhose.

I believe that the last time I wore pantyhose was to Daughter's wedding. Before that, Oldest Son's wedding. So, when Youngest Son gets married, I will wear them. I promise.

But, until then, those very white ankles that are visible above my large shoes and below my jumper are what you are going to see. Deal with it.

And now, for the REAL reason I am ranting... Jackhammers just arrived to remove the cement from the driveway. I cannot hear myself think. I could escape to work, but that would only put me on the OTHER side of the driveway. I do not tolerate noise well. Or pantyhose.

I may be speaking out of turn, but I'm not sure whether my significant other even wears them any more. I know for sure my insignificant brother doesn't.

Get THGGY a pair of sunglasses. This is his problem, not yours.

Well, people do poke their noses in when you blog, don't they. :)

Last time I wore panthose was at my son's wedding six years ago.

Fortunately I have no more children to get married and I never expect to wear pantyhose again.

Praise the Lord for business casual!
