Stand Up To Cancer

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

So many organizations have events or benefits for cancer.  I think it is wonderful to see so much support and generosity when it comes to cancer, or any disease for that matter.

I stumbled across an artist, Ingrid Michaelson and learned she was donating a portion of the proceeds of her song “Be OK” to Stand Up to Cancer.

I found it to be upbeat………..And truly, these are words that not only a  cancer patient, but any of us would like to say………………

Plus I would so write “BE OK” on my face !!!

peeptoe

 

Have you been shoe shopping lately?

Shoes are my very favorite accessory.
Especially black shoes………. Black shoes are like black pants. You can never have too many pairs.
But I am not a prejudice shoe lover.
I love them all the same.

What’s in this year to adorn my cute tootsies?
Peep toe shoes.
Black patent peep toe shoes.
Brown leather peep toe shoes.

Red peep toe shoes.
Striped or polka dot peep toes shoes.
Peep toe shoes with buckles on them.
Strappy, sexy peep toe shoes.

But……………

Seriously, have you tried to walk in them for one full day?

These are the most painful things I have ever put my feet through!
Now, I know, sometimes ‘beauty must suffer”, but not like this!

Just how could something so darn cute be a source of sheer torture?
My toes have blisters.
The side of my foot has blisters.
My heels have blisters.

And………….Gawd forbid, I pitch them or simply stop wearing them……….
no, not me……

I will just continue to buy sheer band-aids………..
That’s why they made them, right?

triumph

 

Everywhere I go I see motorcycles. In fact, I just did a program at work promoting the Motorcycle Safety Classes in our area.  This helps the owners be aware of different obstacles while they are riding.  Bikers are becoming responsible, with wearing helmets, taking tests and observing all the rules and regulations of the road.

My, how things have changed. 
Years ago (literally many, many, years ago) my husband came home with a twisted piece of metal and announced he was going to restore this motorcycle to “state of the art” status.

Actually he did.  It was a beautiful Triumph motorcycle.  The chrome sparkled, and the tank was painted a deep orange with reddish flames .  At 20 years old I thought this was so cool, and couldn’t wait to get on it and fly! Man, I was one smokin’ hot biker chick!

Now, what I would like to point out is that we wore no helmets, no leather clothing, no glasses, never even heard of a safety class………………….and I was 8 months pregnant with my first child as I rode on the back of that bike, arms wrapped tightly around hubby… feeling free and invincible! 

I look back and can’t believe some of the crazy, insane  things we did……………..

Just don’t tell my children…………they truly believe I have common sense. 
Let’s not destroy my image………………
