Comfy clothes

Just like my Confidence Clothes entry, this is something I wrote back in May 2010, but only distributed via email. This one differs from the similar Comfy, but Ugly Clothes entry right before that, because these comfy clothes are not necessarily eyesores.

Comfy clothes

Unlike confidence clothes, comfy clothes have nothing to do with arming you to go out into the big, bad world.

Comfy clothes are the ones you wear after you take off your work clothes. It is rather comforting to peel off jackets, dress pants and blouses and slip into a comfy "outfit" that feel like a second skin.

Most often, comfy clothes are cotton jeans, sweatshirts and big socks. They have been washed so often that the fabric feels like brushed cotton. Comfy clothes can just as easily be made of fabrics that started out super cozy, such as terry or microfiber.

Whatever the fabric, you know you are in a happier place the minute you slip into your comfy clothes.

AWESOME!

    Okay, I promise I'm through with posting (or rather re-posting) about clothes for a little while.

    Next week's Random Ramblings will bring completely different topics. Have a great weekend!

Any excuse to celebrate (my guest post on 1000 Awesome Friends)

I originally posted the rambling below as my first guest blog entry on 1000AwesomeFriends.org , but I'm also re-posting the text here, where it is searchable. (I've written so many posts that the only way I can only avoid repeats by searching my own site to see if I've written about a topic or simply thought about writing about that subject.) Has your birthday come and gone? Are there no statutory holidays on your horizon? There’s no need to wait for a day off from school or work to let loose and shake things up a bit. Just go ahead, pick a festivity from another nation or culture, then find your own way to mark that occasion. As it is, people around the world wear shamrocks, listen to Irish tunes, and eat and drink green food colouring on March 17th. Do we all have ties to Ireland? No, but that doesn’t stop us from whooping it up on St. Patrick’s Day. It’s easy to find something to celebrate. Take today for example, it’s Cinco de Mayo. That party is no longer just

Retweets for mental health

Image
In five-cent increments, the twitterverse buzzed with tweets that will make millions of dollars flow to support mental health.  From a social-media metrics perspective, the #BellLetsTalk (French version #BellCause) garnered impressive reach, which rivalled #SOTU for President Obama's State of the Union address. Even by adding the long form (#stateoftheunion), as of this morning there was only a five-million gap between the BellLetsTalk hashtag and the State of the Union hashtags. Impressive. How did it happen? Collective thanks to major leaguers, mobile technology, multitudes of do-gooders and an annual marketing campaign for all the activity on January 28, 2014.  Entertainers like William Shatner, Jann Arden and Ellen Degeneres encouraged their fans to retweet the #BellLetsTalk messages about mental health. Thousands upon thousands of followers responded. Millions in all. Who else helped the cause? Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield. Olympian Clara Hughes. NHL franchis

Ironing boards with quiet mechanisms

Image
Have you ever used an ironing board with a silent opening mechanism? All the ironing boards I've owned or borrowed have shrieked as though cats were being tortured by the fires of Hell. I can imagine that an ironing board with a quiet mechanism, which doesn't wake up people four houses away, would be AWESOME!
