I have to admit, that sometimes I forget that I'm wearing garb- I guess 
because if you do it right, it feels like _clothing_ and not so much like a 
_costume_. I may be odd that way...

Funny though- I attended an event last night in my nun's habit- and 
couldn't figure out why people were giving me funny looks in traffic. When 
someone crossed themselves at a stop light, I thought 'D'oh!', gave them a 
big smile, and took off. Gotta wonder if they were perplexed by the 
quantity of Dem bumperstickers... (or maybe not, given that it was a Volvo 
with Oregon plates!)

'Lainie
off to brunch and then to a friend's Pel vigil!
