Fashion Haiku

... nothing like the holidays to bring out questionable taste in clothing. Oy.


Older than forty?
Step away from the mini.
It is not for you.

What conspiracy
resulted in the advent
of Lycra "jeggings?"

Ugg boots, like gym clothes,
have a purpose and a place.
Not in public, please.

Yes, you may be "hot."
You should still put on more clothes
When it's cold outside.

The Way to My Heart

The way to my heart
lies not in verse nor in song
but in chocolate.

Good chocolate. And lots of it.

Bad, Paul!

It is most unwise
to agree to sit a dog
with your husband's name.

It seemed like such an easy thing to do - add one more Golden Retriever to our menagerie for the holidays and give a couple of dear friends (who are expecting twins, no less!) the chance to travel home for one last Christmas without car seats and diaper bags. Except that this particular dog has the same name as my husband. And a penchant for inappropriate barking and grabbing food off the kitchen counter when he thinks we aren't looking. It's not really the occasional misbehavior that is the problem - I am a very good alpha pack member and know how to correct. It's just that when I do, my husband thinks I am correcting him. And this is not good for our marriage. With advance apologies to our friends, I am going to change their dog's name to "Steve." Just until the New Year. Because I really do love my husband ... Paul.

Internal Struggle

The garbage truck comes.
I did not take out the trash -
but my bed is warm.

The Christmas Hamster

The Christmas Hamster.
There are those who don't believe;
I know it is real.

Too many pets

Fell over the dog
while I was carrying the cat,
Thus spilling the fish.

It's official; we have too many pets ... and did I mention I landed right on my knee? The one that just had surgery? Well, I did. And it really hurts.
