You Gotta Serve Somebody

"... Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk
Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk
You might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread
You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed

But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You’re gonna have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody..."

I just LOVE this song by Bob Dylan.  It is so dirty, yet enticing at the same time.  I love all of the double meanings throughout the song as well.  Lately I have found myself humming it at random moments.  I love it when a song enters your soul and lingers there for awhile for some unknown reason.  Suddenly you realize the song can also be a source of an answer to a question that you have been pondering.  Think about it...  

Anyhow, someone close to me used this song on their website so now I do find myself visiting his website daily just to get my fix for the day.  It was quite brilliant that he picked "You Gotta Serve Somebody" as he is a process server!  Simply brilliant I tell ya!

Peace and love,

Product Whore

I am a self proclaimed product whore.

I never stick to one product line.

Honestly, I do long to be faithful to one and only one product line someday...

Perhaps someday I will find that perfect product and will be able to settle down in suburbia using only that special one product line to please all my needs.

Until then, I shall continue on as a product whore, using whatever may come my way as I see fit.

Red High Heels

So the other day out of the blue, my hubs says to me "You have yet to wear those new red high heels."  My response is, of course, "I am saving them".  Saving them for what... I don't know.  In the back of my mind I tell myself I saving them for a special occasion such as seeing my family again or perhaps a great party that I have yet to be invited to.  I have to admit, I haven't even taken these beauties out of the box yet.

You see, these babies are special.  They are my very first red high heels. EVER.  Yes, I know, I am way behind on this but if you know me at all, you know high heels are soooo not me.  I was going out on a limb (a very high, far limb I might add) when I bought them.  I was having a great all girl day with one of my dearest best friends and that is when we came upon them.  I just had to have them and I had to have them in RED.  So, after 34 years of never owing or wearing a pair of high heel shoes I bought my first pair.

Today was a special day - Labor Day.
In honor of Labor Day I wore these beautiful red high heels while CLEANING my bathrooms.  Now I would say that is a very, very special occasion on this fine "Labor" Day.

Here's to all the women out there that sometimes just feel like scrubbing and cleaning in their red high heel shoes!





Lets go girls!  Rock those heels doing whatever it is that you need or want to do.  No need to wait around for those special occasions anymore...

The road to happiness...

Stop acquiring things & start collecting experiences.

Oh Toes!

Oh... my... TOES!!!!!
I MUST have these shoes that I have been coveting for months now.  They have been patiently waiting for me to swing by REI (my absolute fave store on earth) and pick them on up.  They called out to me that moment that I saw them.  I literally break into a trance of sorts when I see pictures of them or when I am near them.  I crave them like the shoe junkie that I am.

Brace yourself- you might just fall in love with these too once you get past the Fred Flintstone look of them.

Yes, they are primitive looking, but oh my word I am in LOVE with these shoes!!

I have always been an outdoor fanatic and also a lover of shoes.  Combine my two loves and what do you get?!  Yep, you guessed it- these gorgeous Vibram FiveFinger (toe) shoes.

Really, I am absolutely smitten with these.

Think of all those times when you just wanted your toes to be FREE, yet you didn't want to roam around in fear of stepping on sharp sticks or rocks...








I really do long to travel with them and take cool pics of my cool toesy shoes with cool pics of the places I have been with my kick ass shoes like this:

I am thinking I could make an awesome coffee table book of places I have been with my toesy shoes.

How cool would THAT be?!

For now, I am thinking a trip over to REI to try them on yet once again, because afterall, (HINT HINT to the hubs), my dreaded birthday is just around the corner.

waiting on results

So today the hubs and I went to volunteer at a polling place in Mesa.  We were there standing 75 feet from the polling entrance holding a sign and handing out cards in support of a good friend of ours as the good ol' residents of Mesa went in to cast their votes.  Yes, this is soooo out of character for the hubs and I to begin with, but hey, we were doing our best to be "there" for our friend that was running for Constable.
Let me tell you a few things that I learned from this experience:
- some people are just CRAZY. 
- some people need SMACKED.
- did I mention some people are just CRAZY?!
- the hubs and I are a good team.
- the hubs and I SUCK at campaigning.  hahahaha.
- standing in the rain holding a political sign soaking wet while the opposing party runs for cover- PRICELESS.


There we stood, Team  hubs & I standing our ground come hell or high water (including lightning, wind and heat) rooting for our friend in his noble efforts to try and overturn a very prominent LDS family that had formerly ran unopposed.  


Damn it I am really hoping my friend wins this race and proves that typical church bond doesn't always win all.  For the next 30 minutes I shall keep my fingers and toes crossed for him.

Convert dreams into realities.

All of us do it.  
We all dream of something or another.
Some people dream of journeys, adventures and excitement. Some dream of wide open spaces and sitting on the front porch.  Others dream of a true love that has yet to exist in their life...
I often dream of creating a simple life that focuses on living and loving each day to the fullest.  Perhaps this day shall come soon, but until then, I will continue to dream.  What is your dream?  If you have stopped dreaming, today is a good day to start again.


Here's to converting dreams into realities.
