Define "hubris"

Another multi-layered teaching moment that I feel compelled to share with the blogosphere

Hubris:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubris.  The important pieces of this definition-- "arrogant," "out of touch with reality," and for that "punishment will follow." 

People of the world, know ye that Floridians have mightily committed hubris and are now being karmically punished....last week we thought 62 degrees was cold, and broke out the faux fur, and UGGs, and cute, sexy fingerless gloves.

However, that taunted the Maker, who deemed "I shall spank those haughty Floridians and make it REALLY fricking cold so they remember who's boss."
 

Well gang, you can sport all the politically correct faux fur, groovy balled-up fleece, and goose down stuffed into gore tex you want, this former Michigander, luxe neo-paleo bitch is going to take care of bidness in the way she "get it from her Mamma"...with animal pelts, specifically, MINK. 

Mink (unlike otters who are super cute) are nasty mammals that have no redeeming qualities when alive...okay let the death threats begin. I'm busting this vintage beauty outta cold storage this night...

Hubris...a sin, which next to lust, Babs repeatedly commits (in her heart, of course).  Renders her way funnier, yet, liable to severe karmic spankings than your average Lutheran!!

  5. I don't recall seeing Jackie in fur very much later in her life. She was only 63 or 64 when she died but she may have had second thoughts about fur. Her children may also have influenced her thoughts about it.
