Rainy agin

Hi - not much to report, except that I am keeping a scented candle alive by using matches as wicks and making sure that they don't drown.  The candle is in a tin - so I want to use up the scented wax.  (also have my aluminum pie plate behind it to keep the heat.)Signed up for a free candle from a freebie site- & saw that their scented candles in bottles cost $16!! Boy, am I going to make those scented candles LAST. 

Other than that I got an invite to a free cocktail party sponsored by Chambord for week after next - a free night out.  And I am going to try to go to the Mikimoto pearl costume talk tomorrow - but it's so damp & rainy here - One likes to stay home if one can to avoid all those who have forgotten how to drive on a wet street! And it's going to be rainy for the wkend - ugh - and when we spent the last sunny wkend in the city because of my alumnae function! Hubby is going to get boatitis...

Oh, Michelle Obama does wear her clothes well - but not my body type! I like her style - but who would have thought of a yellow ensemble in the winter?  Looked great, tho. Ditto the ballgown! Me? I went through the previous sheath period and it doesn't flatter me AT ALL and my arms get COLD. Wonder how Michelle kept herself WARM??

Oh my buddy sent me a RED clarinet which I have inherited from his cousin in Virginia, who sadly died last weekend.  I can actually PLAY it!  I used to be a good clarinet player, but let it go - but with this student instrument, I see the possibility of getting my "lip" or embouchre (sp?) BACK and playing.   Another project.  I got out my old music (& I mean OLD) - There is some sense to keeping things, but then I want to keep EVERYTHING - if only I had the room.  That's why we pay for a storage space!

Do you save everything, too?
