The 04/11/13 Joy Jar

10 Apr

Have you ever noticed when one is looking for the mate to a pair of socks that match an outfit you want to wear, one sock is missing from the sock drawer. Moi spent a long time looking for a sock and still couldn’t find the sock she was looking for. Today’s deposit in the ‘Joy Jar’ is finding matching socks when moi wants them.

 

“One can never have enough socks,” said Dumbledore. “Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn’t get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

 

 

“Granny always said finding justice was as tough as putting socks on a rooster.”
Jessica Maria Tuccelli, Glow

 

 

 

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense, and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.

“Both of your socks should always be the same color, Or they should at least both be fairly dark”

Dave Barry

 

 

“I washed a sock. Then I put it in the dryer. When I took it out, it was gone.”

Rod Schmidt

 

 

You couldn’t get far in my socks, never mind walking a mile in my shoes.

The 03/29/13 Joy Jar

28 Mar

It’s a couple of days before Easter and Spring weather will be around for Easter. It’s expected to be about 70 degrees on Easter. Warmer weather means that it’s time for T-shirts. Moi went to H&M and Forever 21 and there are all kinds of Spring and Summer colors. H & M even had a rack of T-shirts for $5. Today’s deposit into the ‘Joy Jar” is the T-shirt.

 

 

I’ve always thought of the T-shirt as the Alpha and Omega of the fashion alphabet.
Giorgio Armani

 

 

Many years ago, I concluded that a few hair shirts were part of the mental wardrobe of every man. The president differs from other men in that he has a more extensive wardrobe.
Herbert Hoover

I’m most comfortable in T-shirts, but they have to have some style to them.

Giada De Laurentiis

 

 

One U.S. hit single and a hit T Shirt in 1985 does not a celebrity make.
Holly Johnson

I am always looking for a cool tee shirt; maybe one with a rock band or an old advertisement.
Bridget Hall

“Luxury is the ease of a t-shirt in a very expensive dress.”
Karl Lagerfeld

Moi read somewhere that per capita the folks in Seattle own more sunglasses than just about anywhere else in the country. It’s a sunny day and guess what? The sunglasses are out. Today’s deposit into the ‘Joy Jar’ is a kick-ass pair of sunglasses.

Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put on some sunglasses, cuz we were born this way bitch!                                                                                                                   

Lady GaGa

Some movie stars wear their sunglasses even in church. They’re afraid God might recognize them and ask for autographs.

Fred Allen

Always have sunglasses with you. They’re great for when you can’t be bothered to put make-up on.”

Alison Goldfrapp

 Your future is so bright you gotta wear shades

If one really wants to feel comfortable there is really nothing more comfortable than a comfortable, worn old pair of jeans. Moi has a pair which is sufficiently broken in. Today’s deposit into the ‘Joy Jar’ is an old pair of jeans.

I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity – all I hope for in my clothes.
Yves Saint Laurent

Blue jeans are the most beautiful things since the gondola.
Diana Vreeland

I like bootcut jeans in a plain style with a nice line.                                                  Martin Freeman

Ladies, beauty is not defined by the size of you jeans.

Robert Escalante

Jeans represent democracy in fashion.

Moi likes to go easy on the makeup. On the weekends, she likes to go at least one day without makeup and possibly two. Just foundation, blush, and eyebrow pencil. Even when moi goes without foundation, she still uses her eyebrow pencil. Today’s deposit into the ‘Joy Jar’ is moi’s eyebrow pencil.

 

Just because you want to be glamorous, don’t be a sheep about your eye makeup.

Loretta Young

 

 

“The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.”
Yves Saint-Laurent

 

 

“For the love of God, unless you’re prepping for Rigoletto at the Met, go easy on the eyeliner.”
Cheryl Cory

 

 

That’s the mistake women make – you shouldn’t see your makeup. We don’t want to look like we’ve made an effort.
Lauren Hutton

 

Whether you are sixteen or over sixty, remember, understatement is the rule of a fine makeup artist.
Helena Rubinstein

 

“How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.”
Coco Chanel

The 02/20/13 Joy Jar

19 Feb

2013 is going to be a good year for moi. It has loads of promise, hard work, and anticipation. Moi began the ‘Joy Jar’ exercise with the thought – this is the year that the Lord has made, moi will rejoice and be glad of it. One of the colors moi associates with Spring and rebirth is pink. Moi got her nails painted that hot rosy pink color because she was ready for Spring. The nails look fabulous. Today’s deposit into the ‘Joy Jar’ are moi’s hot rosy pink nails.

“Pink is not just a color its an attitude.”                                                         Anonymous

“The very pink of perfection.”                                                                             Oliver Goldsmith

“Pink is a beautiful color, because it is one of the colors that the sun makes at twilight and in the dawns.”
C. JoyBell C.

The tones of gray, pale turquoise and pink will prevail.
Christian Dior

Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up.                       Allen Klein

The 01/30/13 Joy Jar

29 Jan

Moi loves her big bag or big purse, whatever you want to call it. Actually, moi has several big bags. She keeps all her stuff in it, whether it is immediately needed or not. After all, you might need this or that and someone else might need this or that. They are actually big enough to be useful in Seattle, a city which instituted a plastic bag ban. These days one brings a bag on shopping trips or has to purchase a bag in Seattle. Moi has her calendar, umbrella, smart phone, snacks, lip gloss, and all manner of other stuff. Sometimes, there are snacks. Of course there are pens. Today’s deposit into the ‘Joy Jar’ is her big bag.

“Don’t give a woman advice; one should never give a woman anything she can’t wear in the morning”
Oscar Wilde

You’re never too fat for a new purse.
Nia Vardalos

No people is wholly civilized where a distinction is drawn between stealing an office and stealing a purse.
Theodore Roosevelt

Open your mouth and purse cautiously, and your stock of wealth and reputation shall, at least in repute, be great.
John Zimmerman

“Fashion fades, only style remains the same.”
“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.”
“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.”
Coco Chanel

25 Jan

Moi is attending the 2013 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Seattle. Don’t know what others think of when they think of a good book and reading, but moi thinks of a comfy chair, a glass of wine, and slippers. Today’s deposit into the ‘Joy Jar’ is a comfy pair of slippers.

Don’t you stay at home of evenings? Don’t you love a cushioned seat in a corner, by the fireside, with your slippers on your feet?
Oliver Wendell Holmes

“.. its not so much about the shoes, but the person wearing them”
Adriana Trigiani, Viola in Reel Life

Those must be comfortable shoes, I bet you could walk all day in shoes like those and not feel a thing.

Forrest Gump

“To be happy, it first takes being comfortable being in your own shoes. The rest can work up from there.”

Sophia Bush

If we were nothing here, at least we were children of God. At some far-off point in time, all these things would be rectified and we would get our golden slippers.
