Hare Raising Adventure

Today is 1-11-11. ^_ I ought to buy a lottery ticket. I’m pretty sure this is an auspicious day.

It is fuhreezing!!! No magical snowy backgrounds for me. It’s just wet and windy. It’s one of those I-wish-I-was-in-bed-reading-Neil Gaiman-books kind of day… but work beckons.

It’s time to cut my bangs. You can’t see my eyes from these photos.

I bought my sweater from Forever 21. When I spied the adorable rabbit pattern on it, i knew I had to take it home. I don’t exactly remember where I got the skirt. I’d like to think I have a magic closet :-) You guys have seen my mustard Litas. I may just have to warn you that they will be a staple. I actually wanted to wear something normal-ish like what most people wear, sweatpants, sneakers and a sports hoodie (but then I don’t even own one) because I knew I was going to drop by the gas station. I didn’t want to walk in or stand outside pumping gas with a " look at me!!!" outfit. I told my husb about this concern and he said, “Why should that bother you? That’s how you dress. That’s who you are. Let them stare…” So there. I didn’t get to wear my outlandish garb because it was too cold anyway. I opted for this ensemble last minute. It’s not so bad.

Not a whole lot of people will get my title except for my closest friends, Bevlee and Kreth. Daidaiiro is Japanese for the color orange. Zukin is Japanese for hood. Xoxo, pronounced Chu-Chu is my childhood and still-is nickname. The title is a play off a bizarre anime the three of us were nuts about. Akazukin Chacha meaning Red-Hood Chacha.


I tell no lies when I tell you I bought that coat for $2.00 at a flea market in Soho, NY. It's hardly warm though. I guess it's just for looks. I'm feeling a little bit gypsy today because the necklaces have bells on them. Can't really sneak on anybody.

Trying to lose the holiday weight from past two Christmases. Hah! We still have our Christmas tree. I'm not a Catholic but Thad is, although he rarely goes to church. We normally take our tree down after the Feast of Three Kings which was yesterday. I need to put it away now. I'm going to have the sads when I do.
