Black is for summer. Especially pool side because its so forgiving! Typically, when I get home from work, I throw on a swim suit – typically the black “Granny” suit you see above. I then go outside to water my flowers and plants, let the girls float on their floats – sometime I do it with them, and together we suck what daylight, peace and joy is left out of the day!

I actually bought one of those huge pink swan floats and the dogs get excited when I get a towel and drag it to the pool. Its very undignified but its relaxing and it has become our thing. Of course we take pictures for proof of our fun together, but it’s so eccentric in appearance to be sunbathing on a swan float with dogs, wine and catching up on the day’s infowars.com Youtube videos…

The black Johnny Was Kimono is a summer staple for me. I wore it to work over a sheer, black mini dress, then threw it on while outside over the black swim suit. As to the mini dress… it’s just a few inches above the knee.  I have about 1 1/2 more years before my knees will sag to the point of needing to be concealed forever, unless I get a knee-tuck.) Its versatile, light weight and has great colored embroidery. I try to not totally fry my transparent skin in the sun, so its a perfect cover until the sun goes down!

My husband came out, and we decided to shoot a mini blog post in 5 minutes and I literally still had on the large Kate Spade earrings because I had simply not removed them yet! They are super light and I think they are fun!

It is getting super difficult to take blog photos lately. I am trying to make it about the items and not about me because I am not that interesting or lovely.  There are a lot of posts on decor or other things that do not require I be in photos and that makes me happy.

Initially, when I started the site,  I had decided that there would be no future run for a senate seat so I could post whatever I like and it wouldn’t matter in the end.  However, I am beginning to feel over qualified for a seat somewhere after seeing the insane ramblings of people such as Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee.   And where is the part in which they pack up and go home?  Maxine Waters is 78.  She’s been accused of ethics violations in the past, which basically all stem around using her position for personal gain. Yet, she continues to throw out baseless claims and shout “impeachment” about Trump. I do not think she knows what impeachment actually is, based on her interviews about the subject. At a certain point, these people need to be shown the door. A cognitive understanding assessment needs to be given to people past a certain age, period.  For her to question his mental health, s insane when she exhibits less mental capacity than he does by far.

Interestingly enough, a bill is to be introduced by Rep Ted Lieu to subject the president to mental health evaluations.  I wonder if they realize this should be across the board? A lot of people wouldn’t have positions anymore, and that would be a great thing.

Enjoy your summer and try to suck a little joy out of every day!
