I Loves the Linens

I don't know if I want to call my sister my clothier or my haberdasher. The point is, she works in the fashion industry and she gives me free stuff sometimes. This weekend, I got a whole lot of new clothes from her and I discovered something amazing; I discovered linen.

Sources tell me that linen is a pretty popular fabric, and enjoyed by millions. That may be so, but it wasn't enjoyed by me until Saturday. Laura and I had to take these engagement pictures, and it was decreed that I wear one of my new, linen shirts. (Please don't read into this that I have a problem with being told what to wear. It's actually the exact opposite. I'd wear shorts and my high school Latin Club shirt every day, if I could. Apparently, that's not valid attire for a wedding. Snob alert!)

Anyway, it was a warm day, it being Spring in Texas. It never bothered me though, because the whole day, Ifelt really well-ventilated. I tried to think up a better adjective, but well-ventilated is the best one. It was pretty much like walking around without a shirt on, which is pretty much like walking around with a threadbare, high school Latin Club shirt on.

I have more linen stuff from Haley, even some linen pants. Am I excited? You bet, Buster. I welcome myself into the world of comfort!

I cannot wait to lose all of these fancy duds in next week's move. I better wear the crap out of these things while I can.
