Saleswoman: At last! Clothes for the way you really live! Cathy: I go to the office or hang out at home in sweatpants. Saleswoman: Clothes for the way you could live! Cathy: I like going to the office and hanging out at home in sweatpants! Saleswoman: Clothes for the way you could live if you lived at a different time! A different time... different place.. in a village far, far away where ladies put on fancy dresses for breakfast and danced on the veranda at 2:00 pm! Cathy: Well, yes. then this would be perfect. Saleswoman: Did you want a cottage to go with that? I also have my real estate license!

That dress and matching parasol are actually quite pretty and look very good on her, and they’d be just right for summer.
O-Kay about 7 years ago
I’m gonna just go right ahead and disagree with that. She looks ridiculous.

I agree with O-Kay. That dress is not anything that I would buy, nor would I look at someone else wearing it and ask them where they bought it. Some of the other ones aren’t bad though.
Hello Cathy friends! Happy Sunday! I hope you all had a good weekend!

Wait—what happened to living in the here and now?
As for the dress, let’s say it’s … distinctive. The colors aren’t horrible, but the general look? Eh … Stick with your sweatpants, Cathy.
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, Clan.

I’d love to be the kind of person who loved crowds and could run a Bed and Breakfast, but I’m not and never will be. I’m an introvert and feel happiest when I am alone.

Dresses 2 and 3 in panel #1, and dresses 1 and 4 in panel #3 are the only things I’d wear. Everything else I wouldn’t be caught dead in ….. especially that ugly monstrosity Cathy chooses in the end that makes her look like some sort of a weird-ass Christmas tree. AACK!!!!!

Hi, rgcviper! :-)
lightenup: Hey, Sis! I just now read your comment from yesterday and thought, “What a coincidence!” because of today’s The Bent Pinky comic I saw right before I got here. Have you seen it? If not, you should because it’s really cute and funny! http://www.gocomics.com/the-bent-pinky

Hello and Happy Sunday, fellow Cathy fans. Hope everyone had a really great weekend! :-)
.
This week’s progress report:
1.) Work in my office took a little bit longer than predicted to finish due to other projects taking me away from it but I’m almost there! ;-)
2.) We sold our gas grill to my cousin but some Craig’s List items haven’t had any takers so far. I guess no one wants an office-sized copy machine or electric typewriter these days. :-/
3.) Painting began on the outside of the house but due to a broken-down van one day and rain another, our guy could only work 3 out of 5 days. Hopefully he’ll be able to get more done this coming week though.
4.) The tile work in the basement finally got done. It took my hubby and a good friend of his experienced at doing that kind of thing all day last Monday to do it but when they got done, it looked as good — if not better! — than if we had hired a professional so, yay for that!
5.) Storage room clean-out didn’t get started like my husband wanted but that will finally begin tomorrow for sure. I don’t know that we’ll get it completely done this week but we’re hopeful that we can anyhow.
.
Well, that’s all for now. I’ll check back in with you again next Sunday but until then, have a great week everyone! :-)

I replied to lightenup and mom on the comic and life so I guess all that’s left to say is Happy Sunday Cathy friends, I hope your week is peaceful and prosperous!

Stick to the sweatpants, Cathy….I found a place that sells very nice sweats and I wear them everywhere….some of them to the office. They have a sewn in pleat down the front, and little jackets with lapels that look like a suit jacket. Perfect and very comfortable. Love the Christmas tree analogy, Mom!!
