After going to bed around 2 am last night, I finally got out of bed around noon. I turned on TV and search for things to watch. Finding Sabrina the teenage witch, then Yes dear. Also during this time, I consumed my dinner. Which was meat loaf, and a twice backed potato.
Then it was time to get ready and head to work. Arriving there at 430, for yet another crappy shift. Of which was super duper boring. There was no one there to talk to tonight. At least no one I cared for or knew well enough. Ugh. The only positive thing was going across the street to the bank. Finally 1030 came, and I left.
Now I am home, where I am watching the end of WWE Monday night raw. Which isn't really that great. It's just something to watch. It use to be better, back in the day, when they did more wrestling, then talking. To be honest, it's now pretty much a male soap opera.
So, what's on my mind? Not really sure yet if I like this new hair style. It was good before I slept on it. My hair is so freaking wavy. I dunno if there is a cut that will work on it. Any suggestions? And no, I don't want a short hair style. Read yesterday's blog for more hair comments.
Anything else worth mentioning? I'm off the next 2 days! YAY! It will be like a mini vacation, cause I don't know of anything I have to do, or anything I want to do. So whatever happens, or comes up, does. I don't care. It's just nice not to have to go to work, period.

1940-1949
With entry of the United States into World War II in 1942, the world of fashion went to war with waste and frivolity. Whether one was on the front fighting or aiding the great war machine by keeping the home fires burning, few people were unaffected by the war. Among the many commodities that were rationed were two that had a profound effect on the styles being designed during the war; silk and wool. Silk was being used to make parachutes (and many women donated their silk stockings to Uncle Sam), and wool was needed for uniforms and blankets for soldiers. The necessity to conserve challenged clothing designers to use their genius to make clothing using as little yardage as possible. Hemlines once again rose to just below the knee, skirts were often slender or boxy, having fewer gathers and pleats. Jackets were shorter and more fitted than in the thirties. Designers used clever cutting techniques in their pattern making to create detail work that required no extra yardage. However, detail below the waist would never again be quite as intricate and interesting as it had been before the war. Women's clothing also became more masculine as women took jobs traditionally held by men as they went off to war.
In stark contrast to the war efforts' conservation, the Zoot suit was a glaring reminder that not everyone supported the war. Zoot suits were made of an excessive amount of fabric and were mostly worn by non-white hepcats unwilling or unable to join the military. Zoot suiters were seen as being unpatriotic and often drove enlisted men into fits of rage that usually ended in violence
Thank you to those of you who responded to my ... "Outrageous Question" the other day. I was looking for more reply, but at the same time ... I do realize it is a personal issue and perhaps some were/ are afraid of personal attack ... ? That's not my style.
I am a mother to 3 kids who are searching for their identities ... as we all do in early adulthood. They each have their own struggles as we all do, but I think what I was/ am hoping for is more input about when and how the decision is made to engage in sex with a partner.
Some of you may have seen the episode of "Law and Order" that involced a 14 yr old boy accused of raping 3 or 4 students between the ages of 9 - 11. He was an only child to a single dad, left alone more than perhaps he ought to have been, with access to the internet and TV porn. He formulated a notion that sex = power, and with no alternative viewpoint and no one to tell him otherwise, he set out to ... acquire power!
The episode also, in my understanding, put a great deal of the responsibility on the shoulders of the various media who make this stuff readily available. My kids were raised being taught that sex was something very special and ultimately intimate to be shared only with one person to whom you have committed your future life in marraige. From very early ages they were taught this, but still the bombardment of OTHER voices, OTHER moralities or lack thereof influence their lives more than I would like. (Yup, mom speaking here!)
So ... is sex a sport? Is there such a thing as "casual sex" with no strings? Is there still a double standard, i.e male conquests are HOT while females who sleep with many successive partners are sluts? When & how do you decide YES or NO? Do you have boundaries? If so, where do they come from?
(Please help out a mom, here ... )
