My biggest bow

Or rather, one of my biggest.  I have two in this size, one in LSU colors and one in Auburn University colors.  This one is the LSU-colored bow.
Both these bows are nine inches across, putting them bigger than my jellybean bow.
LSU is another of those schools that my family roots for in the fall, and for a very humorous reason.  As I've stated before I suffer from the occasional kidney stone.  I had my first one when I was sixteen, and then I had another one shortly after I turned twenty.  Both times my doctor was this short, fatherly type who wore LSU-themed hats and scrubs.  It never occurred to me to ask him if that was where he'd been to school, or if he just loved the colors like I do.  But either way I always think of him when I hear about LSU doing well at some sort of event.

I think it's kinda funny, by the way, that Auburn and LSU are both the Tigers, but their colors are completely different.  I think it's interesting, and pretty cool too.  Mizzou is also a bunch of Tigers, and they're gold and black.  Then my mother's old high school, Piedmont, Missouri's Clearwater High School, has your usual orange and black tiger, but the orange is this beautiful deep shade.  Clearwater's colors made for some striking school outfits, by the way.  Back in Mama's day the girls wore sweaters instead of letterman jackets, and she still has hers.  The sweater is black with that dark orange tiger, and a few big C's for Mama's participation in volleyball (also in orange).  I wish that my school had had an option for sweaters.  Malden's school colors are green and gold, so such a sweater would've been stunning.  If only...oh well, now I have a hair bow in those colors!  Y'all won't get to see that until school starts again, though.  It's a pretty one.

Go Tigers,

Let freedom ring

Image
Yet another patriotic one.  This one came from Etsy, but I don't know what shop it was. This one is one of three that my mother got for me in one fell swoop.  The others are the jellybean bow from June 3rd and the flag bow from June 14th . Like them, this bow is a big one. Let freedom ring, baby!  I remember sharing my memories of Flag Day, but I don't remember sharing memories of the Fourth of July...at least, not here.  Oh, I've got so many!  Halloween is my mother's favorite holiday, and Independence Day was my dad's for reasons unknown.  May have had something to do with his love for history.  But anywho, about April Daddy would start setting aside a little money here and there for fireworks, and as July 4th rolled around he'd buy fireworks with that money.  A few here, a few there, a whole sh!tload at Reeve's Boomland in Charleston...oh, Boomland.  I liked going there, but as I grew older I began to realize that it was kinda a dangerous...

Pac-Man fever

Image
For the record, I suck at Pac-Man.  I've only played it a handful of times, but each time I couldn't get past the first level.  I guess it's one of those games that requires practice and patience...and patience is NOT one of my virtues!  Regardless, I do like Pac-Man.  Compared to the dumb video games we have today Pac-Man's simple innocence is...well, it's pretty nice.  Unfortunately I'm about to make myself look like a complete hypocrite, because my Pac-Man is munching more than just little white pellets! Phooey on pellets and fruit and ghosts, Pac-Man's hitting the hard stuff!  The Etsy carrier, DollfaceDesignss , goes heavy on the horror, so I guess Pill-Popper Pac-Man is kinda tame compared to Psycho .  Whatevs, I like my accessories a little (or a lot) on the offbeat side, so I'm happy.  This is a mighty nice bow, by the way.  Some of my bows pull my hair like mad, but this one slid right in. In addition to the goofy hair bow I've gone ...

International Sloth Day

Y'all know what that means! I think I've worn and shown this bow before (shop name is CherylsBowtasticBows ), but it's one of my favorites because SLOTHS, that's why!  I don't think I ever showed y'all my earrings, though. Those also came from Etsy (shop name is JMDesignsbyUS ), and they're made of wood.  JMDesigns is located in Sedalia, so usually when I order from them I get my item(s) toot sweet.  I never have been to Sedalia, by the way.  They seem to be a tornado magnet, having been hit in 1952, 1973, 1977, and 1980, so maybe I'd best NOT go.  The tornado in 1952 hit the Missouri State Fair, by the way.  Normally it's a bad thing for a tornado to hit during the night, but in that case it was a very good thing, as the fairgrounds were fairly empty.  Indeed, the only fatality in the 1952 storm was in a mobile home, not on the fairgrounds.  But enuff of that; this is supposed to be about sloths, not tornadoes!  If you've read my doll blog t...
