Attack of the Six Foot Woman (SITC)

No pain no gain, Right?

I just found the most fabulous shoes at TJ Max!! And they were $20.00. But after running 2.5 miles yesterday and then tapping for an hour, the 4.5" stilettos were not the shoes for comfort. Luckily I was just trying to break them in, so on Saturday when they are a must wear I am used to walking in them!

Slutty, Maybe? Too High, Perhaps? Super Hot, Definitely!

Have I mentioned I have a date on Saturday, and he is 5'10", so this will definitely be "Attack of the Six Foot Woman"!!

Can you teach an old dog new tricks?

I have always heard the saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but what about a Silver Fox?  I find my self wondering how true it really is. I have adopted dogs, older dogs from the pound, and with enough bacon he learned new tricks. So can a human very set in their ways, change with enough motivation bacon?

I don't know....We shall see, shan't we.

For the next several weeks I will be dog sitting Mosley! A 3 year old yellow lab!! He is a friend of mine's from the city and he needed a home for a few weeks while she and her new husband are on their honeymoon.  Tending to two blogs I have found to be more difficult than one, so if you need some fun reading material check out Mosley's blog....as this blog may be a big sparse.

Yep Mosley's Blog, written in his voice. Or what I think is Mosley's voice!!

ENJOY!!!

G****OOOO****AAAA****LLLLL for USA!!!

My good friend Elizabeth Swann has introduced me to my latest addiction/obsession...the World Cup!! Yesterday we went to BC's Pizza for great beer, yummy pizza, and the France vs. Mexico game.

(single ladies side note: BC's Pizza during the World Cup, is swarming with men!! And they are more than willing to answer rookie soccer fan questions!)

 Today I was up at 6:30 am to watch the USA vs. SVN (Slovenia). I'm NEVER up at 6:30!! It was the largest populated country in the tournament (USA) versus the smallest populated and geographic country in the tournament (SVN). 485 Slovenias would geographically fit in the US.  Its itty bitty! Despite their size they played well, giving USA a run for its money!

I'm hooked!! The sport, the passion, the fan (check out their costumes)!! LOVE IT!

Today at 2pm, I will be watching the ENG vs. ALG (Algeria)!! And I am torn about who to cheer on...I like ENGLAND (cute players and good accents), but the USA needs ALG to win!! Ugh what to do!!!

Smarter than a 6th Grader!!

I know I have addressed the fact that I am self taught graphic designer, so clearly if "I don't" know how to do something, in Illustrator, it clearly doesn't exist!! Right? Wrong.  Once again I have learned something!!! I helped a friend (we'll call her Elizabeth Swann) design t-shirts for her Mother's 70th Birthday Party, that being said, another friend (we'll call her Glinda) helped her to have them printed, online. Glinda and Elizabeth were texting back and forth about the format, that Glinda needed.  She needed a .jpg and I could only send her a pdf or .ai. .I tried to figure out how to do it, but couldn't...so clearly it doesn't exist. Right? Wrong! This is the email I got from Glinda:

Copy and past that link

Check this out, the day i found this site I laughed my ass off.



Go ahead click on it!! It will make you laugh....

Yeah, I totally overlooked that idea...But thanks to Glinda pointing out the obvious, I was able to take it one step further and learn.  A. You can save an AI file as a .jpg. And, B. I'm not as smart as I think I am, I may even not be as smart as a 6th grader!!!

Thanks G!!!

Blondes DO have more Fun!

hmmm, for months now I have wondered how a specific haute Mama friend of mine has the best blog titles pics ...well tonight in all my amazing wisdom I figured it out...PHOTOSHOP!! Sometimes I am a REAL blonde!! I am much more comfy in Illustrator so I did mine in Illustrator, one of these days I will learn Photoshop...Until til then, Illustrator it is!! Blondes do have more fun trying to figure things out!! (That everyone else already knows).

be you.

Some food for thought.

Maybe the connection you are longing to have is with yourself. Getting to know yourself.  Trusting yourself.  As a cancer you are super protective of yourself and your heart. And you long to have that connection in your life. Yet sometimes cancers are soo hidden in their shell protecting themselves they miss the chances to connect.  And sometimes hidding is really hidding from yourself...

Also quit allowing old connections to compete with new ones. Old ones are ghosts, and although they were great at one time, there is a reason you broke up.  Unfortunately our memory tends to block out the bad and only remember the good.  But don't let the synthetic good cloud the connection with new people. 

Quit over thinking it all! Get out of your head and into the now! Life happens, be present. you can't be present when you are constantly in your head!!!

Don't compromise yourself!! Don't go out with someone you don't want to....Attention is nice. Attention is great. Feeling wanted rocks. But feeling wanted by the wrong person, isn't nice or great, and doesn't rock! If feels pained, and difficult. Friends and lovers shouldn't feel difficult. Yes there will be difficult times. But a relationship shouldn't feel forced. If it does it wasn't meant to be! Stop trying soo hard.

Get to know you.
Be you.
Be honest with yourself.
Be open to new friends and opportunities.
Still being you.
Create new opportunities to make new friends.
Let the past be in the past.
Be you.

It will happen when you live it! Be you!
