The guys are watching a Victor Borge performance in the living room.

I don't think musical comedy gets much better than that.

Today I spent more on two small items of, er, personal clothing than I did in buying a genuine leather coat AND two sweaters. Behold why I like shopping Goodwill better than department stores. =P Outrageous.

But...I bought a hat, which will hopefully not turn out to be a Mistake. I have never worn a hat before, but I've eyed this one for weeks now. It's soft (angora rabbit hair!) and see? It has a bow!

It's useful for when I'm feeling shy.

Or just plain weird.

And for the guys, who doubtless are completely uninterested in hats of any sort, this is the new Mercedes 450SLC. We call it the 
Mo-car, so named because now dad can go out in the morning and go "eenie, menie, minie, mo" to pick which car he wants
to take to work. *facepalm* That doesn't even count my car. Trust me, this is not like my family. We are all astonishment 
at how we have managed to collect five cars and only three licensed drivers.

Cute hat! =)

Your dad's car is pretty cool too. It reminds me of something you'd see a detective drive in a 1970's era detective show.

My parents are the same way about having a bunch of cars.

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Cool car. =) *points at your icon*

So...maybe I should pull my hat down over my eyes and drive around in the Mercedes taking notes on people. I'd better not give up my day job yet, though.

Are they really? I should have known!

[http://users.livejournal.com/patrick___/]

Aw thanks!! It's too bad you'll be in Idaho in the dead of winter, or I'd drive it there and let you take it for a spin if you wanted.

Ooh, you should totally be a private eye as a 2nd job.
Marie R - Librarian by day... private investigator by night.
It could be the start of a great new detective series! Haha, Murder she read.
:-D

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

I LIKE IT! I could so write a series like that.

You are brilliant.

Wait, did you just say that if you were bringing it, you'd let me drive your car?! Wow, that's trust. Dad won't even let me take the Mercedes out yet, lol. (Obstensibly because he hasn't gotten it tuned up and "doesn't want it to have any problems" if I'm driving it. Heh heh.)

Ooh, and you could solve mysteries based on things you've read from different books.

"Hmm, this looks like it was poison in the ear - just like in Shakespeare's Hamlet!"

Well, I didn't say I'd let you drive it alone. ;-) You seem like the trustworthy type though. :-)

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Gee, thanks. =D

[savetheolives.livejournal.com]

The hat is cute. :)

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

aw, you really think so? I've never worn a hat before. I am Unsure.

[savetheolives.livejournal.com]

It looks great on you!

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

And of course you never lie. ; )

[savetheolives.livejournal.com]

But of course. *adjusts halo*

[pansyprincess.livejournal.com]

It looks adorable on you! :)

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

And you have great taste, so I'll believe you this time. =)

[pansyprincess.livejournal.com]

Ha! Me? =P I only recognize it in other people.

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Piffle!

[wandering-flame.livejournal.com]

I like the 2nd picture! Senorita Mysterioso.

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Shhhhhh! You're not suppose to disclose my alter indentity as a spy. =P

[wandering-flame.livejournal.com]

btw, I like your room. It's warm and cozy looking. ;-)

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

I like it too. =)

[radiantlove.livejournal.com]

I bought a hat, which will hopefully not turn out to be a Mistake.
Immediately, I thought You've Got Mail. I'm due to watch that very soon.
I liketh the look :-) What sort of coat/scarf/gloves will you be pairing it with?
And a sweet car too! Looks like t'will be fun :-)

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

I LOVE that scene in the movie!

Let's see...I just bought a longish black leather coat, which is probably what I'll wear it with most. Black leather gloves and a colorful scarf shall complete the look. =)

[radiantlove.livejournal.com]

*smile* I love that movie...

Oh, sounds perfect! :-D You'll get a pic of the entire ensemble, right...?

[melyndie.livejournal.com]

I have a hat very much like that, only in black and without a bow. I always get compliments when I wear it, so I think that's a good sign for the both of us. :-)

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

I wanted a black one, but my choice was pink (too hard to wear with other colors) and cream (too easily dirtied.)

We should both wear our hats in January!

[melyndie.livejournal.com]

Yes, let's. :-) Would make for cute pictures!

[victoriaeremita.livejournal.com]

That hat is adorable and on you it is even more adorable. Nice, cute work!

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Thank 'ee!

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Oh, and might I say that the matter we discussed earlier has turned out rather well? I'll have to discuss it with you sometime. =)

[victoriaeremita.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks.

[mcubedtech.livejournal.com]

My sister has a hat very similar to that, she loves it.

I like hats as well although (thankfully) I only wear the type made for men. ;)

Nice car too, I like the square body style of the older European cars.

Whew. Good. I don't hats with bows would quite cut it for you.
