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.

A Shoe Conspiracy

These versatile wedge flips flop sandals by San Edleman come in way too many colors! I have the coral and black but, I do need the beige...it really must be a shoe industry conspiracy of the best kind!

Stepping Out Of The Boat...

Don't you just love to step out of the box, be a little bit outlandish, create a major frenzy, walk on the wild side, have everyone say...Gee, I can't believe you're doing that!  Well, that's just what I did the other day at my monthly ladies club get-together. Caused quite a stir as everyone was murmuring behind my back and very much concerned that I might not make it through the afternoon meeting without some sort of mishap. Well of course, being the dancer to a different drummer that I am, I can't wait to get another opportunity to step out of the box...and wear my gorgeous 4 1/2 inch heels everyone thought I would break my neck in! I do hope you are blessed with the power to step out of your box in all the things you do...

A Heart to Heart Talk...


February is the month for hearts of all sorts! Candy hearts for giving, sweethearts for loving, cold hearts for warming, or broken hearts for healing,  just to name a few. And, while we're talking heart to heart, do you know that the heart is the central and most vital part of our body, even more so that the mind! This is so because the mind is filled with ego which influences us in so many and often times negative ways, but if we use our hearts while making thoughtful decisions, we lose the ego and are often assured of correct responses or in other words, we do the right (heart felt) thing. Which directly catapults us toward the process of marriage of the heart and mind which is often similar to topsy turvy marriages between people...here's a nice link which might be helpful to understand the heart of this sensitive matter...

Soooo, whatever heart filled situation you are up to this month, why don't you spruce it up by wearing something red which actually brings me to the heart of this conversation ...Go Red For Women...in February (and hopefully all year long)! I (heart) love wearing red and I especially (heart) love helping knock out the #1 killer of women...heart disease. So go into your closets ladies and knock um dead...in your favorite LRD (little red dress) and encourage your guys to come up with some knock um dead outfit as well. And while you're at it, won't you donate a little money to your favorite American Heart Association event??  And, bless yer' heart for giving as I thank you and women all over thank you...from the bottom of our hopefully healthy hearts!
