I'm all discombobulated by trying to do any internetty things on my phone. Are there tabs? Is there a Santa Claus? <br /><br />I noticed all the finalists in the H&M thing were youngsters.

I don't recall ever seeing a complaints button on my bloglovin' feed before. Instead of "complaints", maybe they should have one for "Rants" 'cause I could certainly post a few.<br /><br />I saw in my feed that they selected the five finalists for the H&M contest, and as I suspected would happen, they are all in their 20's (possibly early 30's) and look like they spend a lot of time and money shopping. It would have been so damn refreshing to have seen you or Judith in there to mix it up.

Actually, all ages are treacherous, but for different reasons. Maybe it's all the same reasons, but we give them different names. I am THOROUGHLY enjoying being 60, however.

I,too, am a chip aficionado. And I had to read the magazine because my favorite model was on the cover!!!!! And I had to find out if I have a mid life self image problem. I do not. I have a mid life other people image problem. Then I had to check my blogger reading list to see if I have a complaints button. I do not. I have a "send feedback" button. So then I had to copy and paste to the "send feedback" my favorite Yelp review where I totally blast this creepy quack doctor because he is such an idiot that everybody needs to know. Then I went back to your blog where I admired your outfit for awhile. Then I had to Google Fabio because these days I just Google everybody. Then I had to recount the content of your blog to my husband and wax poetic on how much I love you and how you inspire me and crack me. Then I took a little lunch break. Now I'm back. I love your polka dotty pants. You are a living doll.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03938255518222756688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-67419012791945368132016-07-04T13:28:44.608-07:002016-07-04T13:28:44.608-07:00Woop woop!
