Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for March 20, 2012

WHOA! that outfit is a whole lot of ugly. Awful, hideous, and I’ll throw in lame while I’m at it.

A disturbance in The Force has awoken me. I managed to slip out of bed without waking LMB. 2:30 a.m. I hate the night, and that Aaron is out there just adds to the antsy feeling. Back to bed . . .

Whether well dressed or not, the point is, I think, that we all act rather like lemmings intent on following the crowd and eventually throwing ourselves off of some symbolic cliff into a sea of our own making.

moral: Watch your step.

The press will tell how the economy is according to who they want elected.

It’s like the sales ladies are playing dress-up doll . . . badly. No child has ever been this cruel to her doll.

Man, that’s gonna give me ‘nightmares’ but I’m wiped. To sleep . . .

“Well-dressed” is not the word that came to my mind, but I try not to be cruel (well, for the most part :-))…And this sort of rationale is why I live within my budget, saving for the future, and not worrying about the economy. If our income is secure, then I will spend extra, and if our income is iffy, I’ll spend less. Pretty simple.Good morning, Billy! I hope you were able to get back to sleep. I hate it when I wake up in the middle of the night too. It’s difficult to get back to sleep once my brain is awake and thinking of the “boogeymen”, real or imagined.Good morning, Aaron, Susan and the other morning nuts!Hello to GsMom, Billy, KFG, gmforde, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, soonergal and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!

Well dressed?? What a joke. Stuff like this makes me glad I’m not a “dedicated follower of fashion” (The Kinks). She looks like she could be a circus clown.

Cathy hurtling through the edge alright, but it isn’t just because of the stiletto heels! Save your money, Cathy!

lightenup Sad to say I won’t be in town to see you first week of April. I’ll be in Colorado from 3/28 to 4/4 and then at the Maryland Shore 4/6 to 4/8 getting our little grass shack up and ready for summer. Billy’s (or our) Mom and Dad are coming on the 6th as well to help us. Only day open is for April 5 but I’m working as usual that night. Billy’s calendar has him in Baltimore on the 3rd thru 5th, and then at the shore as well.

If you guys think you can stand it, how about some good news? I’m seeing more light out of my eye, maybe about twice as much from my last improvement. I watched it progress slowly during the overnight hours. My bestest mate and LMB look as if they’re in a dark room, and in black & white. I happen to like b & w. And shapes . . . I can see shapes! Whoo hoo !! :-)

We now resume our regular programming. Or not.

GsMom he’s gonna love your comment. I think he has his iPad on him. I’ll send him a note to see if he can sign in for a minute to check it out.

I didn’t know until I got home about Aaron’s improving eye sight. I have to think that he didn’t tell me this a.m. because he wanted to see if he could still see after he slept today. If it would have changed, I’d be none the wiser, and neither of us would have been disappointed. He didn’t say anything overnight to his crew either. Back to those moments he’s in. It’s all about that.

Evening rgcviper and lindz.coop. Hullo other late evening gang. (I need to put a cheatsheet up so I can call you by name). :-)

Quick! Somebody call Stacy London and Tim Gunn because Cathy’s got a real fashion emergency here and she desperately needs their help!!!!! ;-)

Good evening, Aaron, Dr. Billy, lightenup, K.F.G., Susan, rgcviper, gmforde, serenasakitty, summerdog, puppybreath, kittycatpawsare, hendelca, lindz.coop, soonergal and all the rest of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here tonight. As always, good to “see” you all!

I’d also like to send a big HELLO! to FinnyGirl. Don’t just “lurk” around . . . join us anytime!

[Sigh] I’ll just say that I stopped trying to figure Cathy out long ago.

As for the outfit, not a good-looking one, but I’ve seen worse. Somewhere. I think.

Hello, everyone. As always, great to hear from you all.

Hi Cathites!! (ok, I’ll go for it — Aaron, Billy, lightenup, K.F.G., GretchensMom, Susan, gmforde, serenasakitty, summerdog, kittycatpawsare, hendelca, rgcviper, and sorry for anyone I missed)

Whoo—hoo is right Aaron — I’m so glad you are having real progress toward sight again!!!

The outfit might be ugly, but I’ve seen a lot of it in the last couple of years — and not just on the college campus where I used to teach. It really is disgusting to watch a young girl in the stiletto platforms, constantly tugging her skirt down to cover anything that might still be left to the imagination as she walks (hobbles) down the street.

So agree with J. Short that the economy is controlled by the political race. Also agree with lightenup in living within my budget, and saving for the future, because just as you say, if our income is secure, we can spend a little, and if our income is not secure, we spend less & save some.

Good catch, GretchensMom on Finnygirl!! I’m sorry I missed that post!WELCOME Finnygirl!! We’re always happy to have people join our group and get to know everyone. Feel free to comment anytime! We’re pretty friendly here (or at least we try to keep it that way). :-)

I have to say i can’t stand that outfit sometimes i feel sooo sorry for Cathy. Cause she knows not what she does.How wonderful Aaron great news on your eye sight.Hi everyone have a great day & nite.
