No Socks For Men and No Stockings For Women

What is going on here guys? I keep seeing men on TV that appear to not be wearing any socks and it just looks so gross. Are they really not wearing any socks or are they wearing see through knee high hose? A few months ago I was watching a TV show “Millionaire Match Maker” and I remember hearing the match maker tell one of the ladies in waiting to take her panty hose off because they are not in fashion any more. So I guess it is men and women that are changing what they wear on their feet and legs and I don’t like it one bit.

Friends In The Military

Was checking the custom air force shirts selection at Rangerup.com today. I really, really, really like this site. Their motto: Not everyone’s war stories end in High School – was what caught my attention a while back while I was up late one night mindlessly surfing the Internet. I ended up Bookmarking the site and I come back to it every now and then to see what mind blowing stuff they are putting out there for us all.

With Christmas coming up I am looking for some ideas to mull around and I love their custom air force shirts selection. I have many friends in the military, a few in each of branches actually. When I stop and think about it I know more people that I originally thought that have and are putting their lives on the line for their family and our country and there are several that I buy Christmas presents for each year. I’m thinking I’ll be spending more time at RangerUp.com as Christmas gets nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer………..

Mars and Venus

They say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. I have not read that book but I get the concept.

Here’s a snapshot of the two scarecrows that I made last year. I made one of the boy scarecrows into a girl by adding lipstick and eyelashes with marker pens. Then I cut off the straw bow tie from around her neck and stuck it under her hat to make bangs.

So my ex husband came over and took a look at the curb to take a look at my handiwork. I thought I was pretty clever with my “gender change” techniques. He took one look at the two scarecrows and this is what he said, “Can’t you stick something down her shirt so she has boobs?”

Backpacks for School

We have found the perfect high sierra backpacks for the kids to use come the last week of August when they all go back to school. It’s hard to believe that their summer vacation is coming to a screeching halt here real soon. As much as they can get on our nerves when they are out of school when they get either a bit on the hyper side or when they loudly proclaim “I’m bored!” I really do find myself missing them soon after they have gone back. And these are just my brothers and sisters, I don’t have any kids of my own, yet.

Cheap Sun Glasses

I went to the Flea Market on Sunday, the rains finally stopped and the sun was shining and the place was packed with vendors and customers as well. There was a dealer selling sun glasses for $12 or two for $20, so I found two pairs that I think look good and walked away a happy camper.

Breaking In My New Boots

Today was the perfect riding day. I was so thrilled when my bud Mike called and said he was on his way over on his Harley to take me for a nice long ride up the Blue Ridge Parkway. I got a chance to wear my new Motorcycle Riding Boots for the third time, it will take a few more rides to get them really broke in, but they are nice looking and comfortable, so I’m a happy camper so far with them.

I have needed a nice break on the back of a bike, I’m so thankful for my friends that keep me in mind for rides all year round.

Trendy Maternity Fashions Online at Kiki’s

My best and closest friend is soon to be a grandmother. Her oldest daughter has just announced her pregnancy and the whole family couldn’t be happier or more excited with the good news. The new baby is due to arrive some time in October, what a pleasant time of the year to bring a new little person into the world. Right before the holidays come into place.

Since her daughter will be in full “bloom” during the hot summer months, the hunt is on for maternity clothes that she will be cool and comfortable in in the heat and humidity. So far kikisfashions.com has been a big hit, they do have some of the trendiest and unique maternity clothes maternity styles for great prices. The days of wearing baggy clothes to keep comfortable while expecting are long gone and good looking clothes at discounted prices aren’t such a challenge to locate and afford these days.

I love this picture that was found at Kiki’s. What a cute shirt on a beautiful expecting woman.

Thanks To My BFF

The one place that I always wanted to go to when I was a kid, much like every other kid, was Disneyland in southern California. It never happened when I was a kid, but now I have the opportunity to go there and by golly you can bet your bottom dollar that I am going to jump on it and go this year with my BFF Judy.

Judy managed to line up a sweet deal for disneyland tickets at dnticket.com that she is going to pay for with her tax refund check and she has invited me, her BFF since 4th grade, to go along with her. She had a lot of deductions this year and is getting the biggest refund ever and wants me to help her spend it! I mean what are friends for, right? We haven’t done anything major like this together in so very long, it will be awesome spending a whole week together in such a fun and magical place such as Disneyland.

I will have to buy some new clothes with some of the money that I get back from Uncle Sam to take with us, but I guess that is the least I can do considering the expenses that she is going to be responsible for for all of this.

Family Fun, Back in the Day

I remember when my little sister announced her pregnancy to the family. The first of us girls to start their own family, what an exciting time that was. We couldn’t wait to hold her a baby shower, shopping for a new baby is such good clean fun. It turned into one big family affair!

We even had fun taking her shopping for maternity clothes. Back then we had the Internet, but we didn’t use it much for shopping such as we do these days, so we would hit all the malls on the week ends looking for the latest fashions for our sister who was rapidly gaining weight and really needed some maternity clothes that would keep her comfortable, while keeping her in style, looking all cute and trendy. She was tired of wearing just the loose fitting clothes that we had gathered up for her to wear at her beginning of the pregnancy.

If we had only had the Internet at our finger tips we could have found an unlimited amount of unique and cool looking maternity clothes, like what can be found at kikisfashions.com  but it was just as well as it wouldn’t have been as much fun as what we experienced back then.

Now how cute is this? Found at Kiki’s Fashions.
