Add a Bow Tie


I'm kind of at a loss for words this morning. I don't have anything specific to say (my weekend was full of chores and travel from MD to NJ and back again) but I didn't want to not post. So I'm sharing this photo that makes me laugh and wondering how you put a figurative bow on your chicken hat and get on with your life in the best way you can? Let me know your thoughts in a comment and maybe you can make us all laugh (or at least smile) on this Monday morning.

I'll start things off. If I want to make a statement and get on with things, I wear my "f**kity f**k f**k mask" It makes me feel more powerful and I just love how it looks like an innocuous floral print but says something quite different. It never fails to elicit smiles and comments from people around me, and I haven't yet received a negative comment.



So how do you dress up your chicken hat and get on with your life? I'd love to know!

    I'm not sure what I do, actually. I guess I tell myself that I know what's right and what's in my heart and then I move on. Maybe I need to get a chicken hat? Ha!

    This seems like it's going to be a new mantra for getting on with life amid all the madness: Just put a bow tie on your chicken hat and get on with it! I continue to love your sweary mask; I'd really love to have one for myself that something like "It goes over your f-ing nose, too."

    First, your mask is the BEST mask I've seen. And, second. Well. That chicken hat is stupendous! I think my own "chicken hat" (sans bow tie) is my "that woman from Michigan" baseball cap. Whenever I wear it, it gets noticed that's for sure. It makes me feel powerful and kind of like . . . your mask. :-)

    OMG - that chicken hat is the best!! Too funny. And...when I ordered my "Attempted Murder" mug the other day I noticed the store also had a mug with your fabric and saying/swearing on it! I thought of you immediately. There is another one I love of RBG giving the finger. Ha! I'm not sure what I do to get on with sh*t other than figuratively pull up my big girl panties...but I think a chicken hat is more fun.

    I have been doing a ton of journalling pouring my thoughts and feelings and frustrations down on paper. I have been meditating twice a day but lately three times a day to give myself an attitude adjustment that I so desperately NEED.

    Where on earth did you find that picture?! Hilarious. I swear a lot when I am getting on with it, Bonny. I tell myself I should reform, but swearing gets me started and gets me through it. This southern lady is not very gentile - LOL.

    I am laughing! Thank you! Just the idea of that! (as for me, I have perfected the "art" ?? of the messy bun, because I have absolutely no clue what to do with my hair...but, I am contemplating a hair cut at the end of April after I have been fully vaccinated!!)

    That chicken hat is hilarious! I think your mask is just the thing to wear when you need to go out and face the world. I just ordered a singers mask, looks like a duck beak and plain black, I wish it came in a print like yours!

      I'm not sure I'd ever wear a chicken hat myself, but it has never failed to make me laugh, and that's a good thing. I do hope by ordering a singers' mask that means you will soon be able to get back to singing!

    Late last year I happened across a couple of teenage boys who had "F*** 2020 Club" professionally printed on the back of their T-shirts. Told them I'd like to join their club and we all had a laugh together. We all needed a few moments like that last year! (I'm in Australia so things are going fairly well here)

      I would also like to join their club! I felt pretty powerless last year and knit "F**K 2020" dishcloths for friends and loved ones; they were well-received! I wish people in the US would just wear masks and maybe we could do better. Good for you in Australia!

    Great mask. My solution to bad days and getting on with life is chocolate and more chocolate.

    I actually have a chicken hat... but it doesn't look anything like that! I could put TWO bows on it, though. ;)
