Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

I buy a pair of these every year. Last year I bought a florescent orange. This year I chose a neutral tan. Choices, choices, choices. Because life's too short for ordinary sandals! These are Sam Edelman...

Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

It's finally sandal weather in Little Rock! And, I'm on a DiOdyssey to wear a pretty pair of sandals each and every day for the next 33 days. Why 33 days? Because I love that number. And, why pretty sandals? Because life's too short for ordinary sandals! These are Lucky Brand...

I Lost My Sisters...

They didn't die or anything like that. They just went away. I have a pretty good idea why they got lost. It's a private matter. It use to be painful but I survived. In fact, I'm a whole lot happier these days, thank you! The grief process for this loss was very similar to the grief process I have experienced with the loss of my Daddy this past year. And, another fact...

"Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness."

Albert Camus

So, if you've had a loss in your life, just remember the five steps of grieving are:

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. Get on through it...and go get HAPPY! Let's go shopping!

Hypothyroidism...

Ugh...what a bad word. Hypothyroidism. Didn't know I had it for (probably) years. Symptoms are numerous. Tired, weak, depressed, dry skin, brittle nails, hair loss, forgetful, hate the cold, weight gain. Just thought these were signs associated with getting older. 

Check out other symptoms and problems concerning the thyroid and how and why it controls every cell in your body at the following link. All it takes to fix is a simple blood test and a little pill for the rest of your life. Glad my doc cared enough to check me out. Now I feel like my old 'young' self again. Enjoying shopping again and found these cool pants at Bass Pro Shop! http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000353.htm

Birthday Boots From Me Mate and Down Under

My sweet #3 gave me some some boots for my birthday. So finally at 63 years young, I have my first pair of Australian UGGs that are really very crikey! Never did care for those traditional UGGs. You know the ones that make you look like a flat footed Bigfoot. Rather, these beautifully beige UGGs look like sleek, sophisticated, refined, and polished riding boots. I cannot wait until cool weather gets here and then again, maybe I won't. And, a big ole Hoo Roo to you, Mate!

Give The Kid A Break

As you may have heard by now, Miley Cyrus has gone completely out of control. Maybe, but I kinda doubt it. I know, I know, she was recently TWERKING  (new word in Oxford dictionary) uncontrollably on national television. If you missed it, choose to see the video below, if you dare.

But guess what, it's SHOWBIZ! And, the MTV VMA Awards Show has always been scandalous. Remember the Britney & Madonna smooch years ago? And, even Lady Gaga was wearing next to nothing the other night. Oh, that's OK, she was not twerking Robin Thicke. Miley has grown up. She's not Hannah Montana. That's a fictional character. And, so is Twerker Miley on stage. If you don't like this form of entertainment, you don't need to be watching it. And,the same for allowing your kids.

I was watching another television show the other night. I don't watch the MTV VMA Awards. But, you know what. I'm not disgusted with Miley who has chosen the crazy world of celebrity. Sadly, she's only securing her future by daring to twerk out of the box. I'm disgusted with MTV VMA who approved it, Robin Thicke who loved it (and goes unscathed), and the fans who watched it. And, if you haven't noticed yet, the national networks (SHOCKER) also allow actual sexual intercourse scenes (under the covers) on television sitcoms these days.

But, it's nice to have a choice. And, for me and my house, I prefer the Oscars over the VMAs (I think they will always have class, I hope), dirty dancing over twerking (that's what it use to be called with maybe a lot less gyrations), and watching Lucy and Desi conversing before bedtime in their own twin bed. And even though Miley is choosing to push some HOT buttons at this time, she is still working (it) everyday, staying out of the court system, and (hopefully) moving on to higher things.

So why not, for now, just give the kid a break. BTW...what the heck was Robin Thicke thinking with that striped suit??? At least it was going horizontally.

Sweet Tees

Got this cute tee on one of my road trips. What do you think?
