Not to sound flippant but am I the only one who thinks –
and that’s where that thought ends. Seriously. I started out strong, rolled right on in, then stared blankly at the wall for ten minutes. What the hell.
Breathe in, breathe out, reset.
I can already feel it, I’m giving this one lip service and that never turns out well. I’m pissed. Do you know how hard it is to write when you’re pissed? At least not the light hearted, flippant (THERE it is) fare that is typical SoCS. Instead it feels clunky and awkward, like somebody on stilts lurching across the cafeteria with their tray piled high.
Now there’s an image for you.
I say we stick to hardcore stream of consciousness today.
I’m so not a fan of lipstick. Ever. I can’t choose a color to save my life, and even if someone were to give me the perfect match to my hair and skin tone I’d still suck at application. Guess I’m sticking to tinted lip gloss, huh?
You know what would be a handy skill? Lip reading. Totally useful.
I’ve really got to go get my toenails done. Flip flop season is fast approaching – who am I kidding, we’ve already had a few – and my feet are stuck in winter hibernation mode. Gross.
You know what I got rid of in the move? About a zillion slips (okay, more like eight) that were tucked away in the bottom of my closet. I can’t imagine why I still had them around. a) I don’t wear dresses much, b) I certainly don’t wear them with pantyhose, and c) does anybody really need a floor length slip these days?
But my slippers? Those I’ll keep, thank you very much.
Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “lip.” Use it as a word, or find a word with “lip”in it. As always, use any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Good one on all the -lip words. Who does wear slips anymore?

Beats me, but apparently it took the idea of lugging them through a move to make me realize how they’re no use to me.

I’m agreeing with you because I never wear them anymore.

Yep. Lip reading is much more important than lipstick. Mine always smears, so I stick with a moisturizer/lip balm. I do wear dresses, but not slips and will never wear pantyhose again. Or high heels. I would be a little scared to write SoC when pissed, so you are brave.

I’m a huge fan of the lip balm, keep at least five floating around here at all times. And I’m on your side about pantyhose — as far as I’m concerned we should burn every pair in the country. 😆

Already wore my flip flops. Toenails coral and happy to see the sun!
I do like lipstick, but gloss is about 1000 times easier, so I wear it more, and wear balm the most.

We’re still a ways from flip flop weather, although I’m ready emotionally – my toes, however, need help.
Slips? I have some half slips in a drawer somewhere. Dunno why. The few times I wear a dress, I no longer bother with the slip. Because, reallly? If someone can see the shape of my legs through it that would be all they’d see, and that’s not any different than when I where leggings, right?

Right. I don’t wear stockings that grab skirt material, and if a skirt is sheer enough that they’d see undies then I’m not buying it anyway. Still held 3 half slips back though – old habits are hard to break.

the whole lipstick and slip thing leaves me feeling very unqualified to comment. i think i will keep a firm grip on my guy card and go play in the garden. it is sunny and it is mulch day – continued mulch day. things could get deep.

LOL – I’m with you on the lipstick. Now I have a question…about those slips…had they hung around long enough for the elastic to crumble? If so, good move getting rid of them. You’re welcome for the encouragement. Oh, and, thank you for the SoCS chuckle – you never disappoint! xx

Well, the elastic hadn’t *crumbled* but several were awfully stretched out. I think if you’ve got to tuck your slip in the waistband of your pantyhose then things are out of control. 😆😆

A few of the millenial girls I worked with a while ago didn’t know what a lingerie slip was. !!! They are difficult to find to buy now, but I *do* wear dresses (I find them easier than pants + top, slip one over your head, boom, you’re done and you look like you care when you really don’t), and some are gauzy. Back light moments? I haven’t quite figured out how I’m supposed to handle the ease of light summer dresses without semi-flashing folks because of a lack of an appropriate slip.

I’m picky about dresses I buy for just that reason. Seems the gauzy summer look is better in concept than execution for me…

Nice job with the prompt. I agree with you on lipstick (although I don’t wear lip gloss either) and painting the toenails. With the latter, I want to be ready for warm weather shoes.
