There is a passion that lives within our souls for some of us…

for the most perfect pieces to compliment our wardrobe.

For several weeks now, I have been on the hunt for the perfect winter, dress coat.

My collection of coats, come from my passion for vintage wear.

My present collection of coats consist of a Navy Pea Coat that is extremely warm and comfortable.  A long wool black coat that has a  fur collar, a traditional blazer style leather jacket and my  most current piece, a down Browning jacket that is camouflage with pink lining.

I love all of my coats but I’m ready to part with any of them to get the coat I have been dreaming of.

My fingers started pecking away at the keys for my favorite websites

… but not fast enough…I lost out on the coats that caught my eye and made my heart melt.

~~~~

So recently I have tweeting back and forth on twitter.com with @theswellelife who has a sweet fashion website that caters to the fashionistas and cupcake lovers…she is a must save to favorites!

She is precious writer and is sweet as the cupcakes she finds for us… and I enjoy reading what she has to say next.

Awhile ago, I saw she had an article written about a coat!

Ha! what a coincidence…I just knew my garment angel led me to this article….and then to see the coat that she was talking about! This may have well been torture!

The Evening Coat to just to die for!

…this magnificent coat, is the most beautiful coat in the whole world…I just wanted to peel it off the computer screen and put it on, like I was a paper doll!

This coat is a creation of many vintage fabrics and created to look like a captains great coat. Designed by Christine Davis. First released I’m assuming by another one of my Twitter friends who writes for the Pairs Herald and has this awesome online vintage store…and you can see more pictures and information on her website….www.shrimptoncouture.com

Now, of course its way beyond what my budget could allow…but oh, it was nice dreaming for awhile…

Maybe I will get myself organized one day and and put all of my collections of fabrics…

and design my own captains coat…..

with little bit of velvet and vintage fabrics and tapestry and a whole lot of passion a gifted person could  make it happen!

I will keep on dreaming! and shopping for the perfect evening coat for myself.

Wine Glass Girl ~ 2010

So I get this e-mail that reads: Accurate Horoscopes of 2010. So I’m thinking cool, maybe this will just give me some maybe-it’s-real, maybe-it’s-not insight on this year! Instead; however, I got this:

AQUARIUS – Does It In The Water

Trustworthy. Attractive. Great kisser. One of a kind, loves being in long-term relationships. Can be clumsy at times but tries hard.  Will take on any project.  Proud of themselves in whatever they do.  Messy and unorganized. Procrastinators.  Great lovers, when they’re not sleeping.  Extreme thinkers. Loves their pets usually more than their family.  Can be VERY irritating to others when they try to explain or tell a story.  Unpredictable. Will exceed your expectations. Not a Fighter but will Knock your lights out.

Okay, first off, as a whole, it doesn’t tell me anything about my future, it just tells me how I am “supposed” to be or like how I am…..! WTF?

So, I shall dissect it but first I HAVE to start with the subtitle: “Does it in Water????” Um…..nope. Not really. Not even close.

Trustworthy, I guess, I mean, I don’t spread anyone’s “secrets” or gossip more than most people do I suppose….Attractive?….that is for you all to determine. Great Kisser…..how can an ASTROLOGIST tell if I am a “good kisser?” Did he/she kiss a lot of people with different Zodiac signs and say “Well I kissed a bunch of girls who had that water tattoo and they were all Aquarius’s so yeah, they must all be good kissers.” I bet not. What do you think? As for “loving to be in long-term relationships, those of you who know me well know that I don’t prefer to be in any type of relationship…at least not right now.

I DO indeed try very hard at everything I put my mind to and I AM VERY, VERY, VERY clumsy. VERY. I’m definitely not messy and unorganized, the OCD in me simply will NOT allow that! Definitely NOT a procrastinator, I do things right away or else it’s like there is a little foreign man in my brain yelling at me, reminding me I have something to do. Extreme thinker? Affirmative. If I spoke out loud of my thoughts, I think I’d have been committed a LONG time ago.

I don’t have any pets and I know for a fine fact that I irritate people when I tell stories, not just for my attention to every single detail, but also for my over use of the word “like.” Sorry, it’s not as bad as a smoking habit, but I know it’s pretty damn bad. I mean, sometimes things aren’t EXACTLY how I am describing them, they are just similar, or LIKE them, so I use the word like. A LOT.

As for unpredictable…..I’m very bad at cancelling plans at the last minute. Does that count? I try very hard to exceed everyone’s expectations, just not as hard as I should and they are right about one thing, I am not a fighter, I’m not even confrontational. I just turn the cheek, or smile and nod. I’m still wondering….if I’m not a fighter how do you suppose I will “knock your lights out?”

Hm……your guess is as good as mine. As for letting me in on some things that MAY or  MAY NOT happen in 2010, this horoscope website didn’t help a bit. Actually, the only purposes I believe it holds are as this very blog and a reminder to myself that I can be flaky, unconfrontational and say like too much.

Everyone seems to be doing it.

You are doing it…because yes…you have got caught up in it…

Whether you are working in an office…

….waiting tables at a busy restaurant…

or at a stop light somewhere in your city!

You are updating your status or checking on someone else’s status!

You are either doing it for fun or are doing it to make some money!

Social Networking is not just for the computer geeks and  nerds.

…Nope, it is for all of us!

We are of all ages…even my mother is now on Face Book!

So, from teenagers to Senior Citizens, we can be found updating somewhere at sometime…

On the throne, on the couch, in the car, in the elevator, in the grocery store, in church, while we run, bike, camp…oh yes, we update everywhere.!

Even celebrities, update on the red carpet, while they are in the studio, while they are eating dinner…

There is even this guy who sits with his grandfather and Tweets S##T, his grandfather says!

~~~~~~

Year’s ago My Space was the biggest trend for our teenagers and then it seemed all ages seemed to be utilizing the website for connecting with others, advertising or blogging.

Interesting fact…..Blogging…hum? Seems that shouldn’t come up in red  or in my spell check, considering how popular the word is today…

Maybe it will be a new word for 2010.

So, when I finally decided to get a MySpace, I was informed by my teenager that I was too old!…to have a Myspace and that it was embarrassing for her!

Nevertheless, I did create a profile….

The next social networking sight I found was Netlog.com.

Which I soon discovered was a “lets see how many people I can flirt with or hook up with! The content there did not appeal to me.

Then, last year sometime a friend of mine told me to find her on FaceBook.

I honestly didn’t know what she was talking about, but my curiosity got the best of me and I logged on to create a profile.

…I soon became addicted

…and then last Spring my daughter told me about Twitter.

Well, that was 800 followers ago! And  before Wine Glass Girl was created!

Interesting Fact ~A professional blogger found me on Twitter and noticed that I had a knack with words and well…..

….this is the rest of the story.

Social Networking has changed my life in so many ways.

I have been reunited with friends that I have met over the years of my life.

…And the friendships I have made with via Twitter and Facebook are some of the most special people, I have ever met.

Well…I haven’t really met them…but I can see their heart in their words and there a few extra special friends…that I have been blessed to hear the warmth and passion in their voices.

So I’ am thankful for social networking for giving me this chance to share with others.

The addiction is controllable for now but I do foresee in the future a possible stay in Rehab for TwitterHolics and FaceBook addicts’.

I apologize to my family if I am addicted. Countless hours updating and checking out profiles, uploading pictures, is this a trend, I hope not.

In the meantime…In the Entertainment world….

I hear there is a movie being made about social networking and I also found this talented artist that has given us a song about our social networking addictions! So click on Kelley James name and check out his music, Im sure he will become a huge hit with this song!

Happy New Years Everyone!

Make sure update your status before you drink too much!

Cheers!

Wine Glass Girl
