Oh, look at it rain

Today is a plethora of small obscure holidays, and I don't have a hair bow for a single one.  So once again I'm digging deep into my boxes.  As of the nine o'clock hour it's raining with some lightning accompanying, so I picked a plastic bow that I've worn before (I only have two plastic bows).  Pardon the flash; these transparent bows are hard to photograph.  Etsy shop is perfectprincess .  They're based out of Jackson, Tennessee and as of writing are not taking any orders due to the expected foul weather (it's supposed to snow this weekend). Okay, it IS Kiss a Ginger Day, but I have no one to kiss, let alone a ginger.  I'd almost give my left arm to have someone to love, someone who loves me just as much as I love him, but I'm not bettin' on it.  Not ever.  Anyway, this is the bow I wanted to wear with my jellyfish earrings for Jellyfish Day, but I misplaced the earrings.  Turns out I had them with the bow, but concealed by other bows.

My favorite invertebrate?

Well...I like a lot of invertebrates, but I do think jellyfish are particularly cool.  Today is Jellyfish Day, but alas, I've just got a plain jelly bow for my hair (Etsy shop is perfectprincess ). I did have jellyfish earrings, dangly vinyl ones that fluoresced under blacklight, but one of my cats destroyed them and I haven't replaced them. Admittedly I got tired of discussing the phylum  Cnidaria during invertebrate zoology, but in truth jellyfish are some of my favorite animals.  I won't say they're my absolute favorite invertebrate since I love so many insects and am very fond of echinoderms and cephalopods, but I do think jellyfish are pretty dern cool.  Like tornadoes and split rainbows , there's a lot of mystery surrounding them.  Scientists aren't really sure how long these boneless, brainless creatures have been around.  They have no brainstems or ganglions, just a ring of nerves that helps them to function, and yet they catch fish and breed and l...

Blowing away...again

March went out like a lion, and April is picking up where March left off.  Last Friday the middle of the country (including my neck of the woods) had a nasty tornado outbreak, and tonight we may get more of the same.  Since rain is in the forecast, I'm locked and loaded with a fitting hair bow. Etsy sellers call these pool bows or jelly bows, because they are made out of jelly-looking plastic and can be worn at the beach or the pool.  I can't swim so I never go to the pool, but I still like these plastic bows.  The only problem is that I got one that doesn't match any of my clothes!  Gonna have to fix that.  In this case my Etsy store is LeahBowsCreations , but there are plenty of other options, as well as smaller bows for the kiddies.  Not that I'm allergic to smaller bows, of course!  I do prefer 'em big, but some of my best are on the small side.
