"...for a bird of the air will carry your voice, or some winged creature tell the matter..." --Ecclesiastes 10:20

Who is this mysterious winged creature? Light hearted as the air, she laughes at world, the wise, and herself - but watch out if you tread on the humble or the meek. You may find This Winged Creature has told the matter...

Flashback! [Observations]


I went to the Goodwill today and you'll never guess what I ran into. My junior prom dress. Not one just like it, I mean, MY junior prom dress. It was a size five. It was much, much worse than I remember it being. It was that girly pink which I didn't like even at that time, but it had a lot of ruffles at the top which I sort of needed. Actually, at 5 ft 10" and wearing a size five I pretty much needed all the ruffles I could get. I don't remember what my mother paid for it. (Though I was trying to keep it on the inexpensive side) But whatever it was it was too much.

After I wore it, I gave it to a girl who was going out with a guy I'd once liked. I guess she or her family gave it to the Goodwill. I think it's going to be there awhile. Really. A long while.

wow! when someone else knows a person you haven't seen in years, you say "gee - what a small world", but what do you say when you run into a dress...and one that you didn't like to start with??? "argh, i wish I had a pair of scissors on me right now"?

i remember my prom dress search. It was the only time my mother ever took me to Garfinkel's at Montgomery Mall -- which was THE PLACE to shop back then. I look back now and realize it must have been a real stretch for my parents to splurge like that!

Your uncanny ability to find things is getting eerie.
