Catchy Name Needed

Hope you're having a good day celebrating or staying in or whatever you're doing today. (We talked about going to the movies - which is why I put the Wonder Woman icon up - but we decided to wait. Maybe tomorrow. The WW84 reviews are decent but I'm not expecting anything as good as the first one.)

It occurs to me that this is my Covet anniversary. It's a game I've been playing for two years today - a fashion game, of all things. Part of me doesn't like to think I'm girly enough to play things like that, but clearly I am. I definitely would never have started playing it on my own, though, or even thought about the existence of such a thing. The reason I know I started playing on Christmas Day was that my sister was playing it and she showed it to me and encouraged me to try it, on Christmas afternoon when we were bored. (We had dinner reservations so we were basically just waiting around for it to be dinner time!) We were both playing for a month or two, but she slacked off on it eventually and I didn't. It's the gamer in me, maybe! I'm now level 69 and this is not a game where you level easily. It's fun, though, I always describe it as dressing paper dolls, although I guess I'm aging myself by saying that. The scoring is on the value of your closet, which is kind of comical to me. You dress your dolls and the scoring is at least partly by other players' voting, although I think it's also partly an algorithm. And you get prizes (more clothing to dress your dolls in!) according to how good your score is. Like I say, I would never have thought to play this on my own - I am not a person who dresses fashionably in real life - I like to be comfortable too much. But I have a little fashion habit (if you've ever looked at my Pinterest boards, you probably know this already) where I just like to look at clothes. So I guess it's an outlet for that. But however it happens, apparently I'm pretty good at it.

ADDED: I was trying to post a picture here and I can't get it to work, so I posted it on my little Covet blog that I've never done much with - so that's here. (It's my perfect score that I got the other day.)

Strangely, I am better today. Well, I suppose there could hardly be a worse day than yesterday (short of, y'know, a chance meeting with Ted Bundy or something), so it almost had to get somewhat better. Still, I seem to be ok. I may go back to being a basket case later, but for now, I am not too bad.

Even better, I don't have to do anything at all tomorrow. This is a luxury I never imagined having this weekend. (I'm really tempted to turn off both phones, too.)


The funeral is not till Wednesday. Some sort of problem with the church. I didn't realize until we were on the way home that that's Valentine's Day, but oh well (as I seem to be fond of saying lately). Luckily, V-Day was never my favorite holiday anyway. I am just a bit worried about the big flower arrangement I was going to get, given the timing, but I have put off thinking about it until Monday. By the time we got it all straightened out it was too late to do anything today. I was not intending to do red roses in any case, so surely they can find me something decent-looking.


Thanks everybody for the good wishes. I haven't made any attempt to reply, for the most part, but I read every one of them, and I really do appreciate it.


Oh, did I say that my mother apparently wanted to ban black from her funeral? (So my sister says, anyway.) This amuses me no end. I have a new black shirt I was intending to wear, but now I am really tempted to wear red. Or bright pink. We will see if I have the nerve.
