Good workout tip

Hey all my scatterbrain friends, running out the door, at the last minute, for everything, here is today's advice. When your in a big hurry and trying to get to the gym and squeeze in a workout because you have procrastinated it for the last ten years, take time after you throw your sports bra over your head to straighten up your nipples. Oh yes it happens! It's awful to say but if your unaccustomed to workout clothes or working out trust me this is a golden tip that no one else will tell you. And yes I know because it happened and I looked in the mirror in the girls locker room after a full work out and realize one nipple is pointed straight up toward the ceiling and the other is off to the side looking down in shame. God I hope this helps someone because then maybe the embarrassment might be worth it. Lesson learned. Adjust before sprinting out the door in a sports bra. Fitness tip of the year!
....ummmm no picture with this one friends :)

A Series of Interviews: #1 Acadian Joie de Vivre

This is a story I just found out about. It is about my great grandmother. This is my Cajun side of the family in which I am very proud but know shamefully too little about. This lit my soul on fire to discover such a gem of my heritage. I'm very grateful to technology and it's ability to share this type of information.
What a blessing.

Organized Purses - yeah right!

Since I'm such a scatterbrain it's very hard for me to be organized or think organized but I have come a long way thanks to my very organized man and extreme effort on my part. My phone rang a moment ago and I grabbed it out of my purse with such accuracy it astounded me. I flashed back to almost wrecking a million times trying to find my phone in some hidden receipt filled corned of my old super large purses and I though hey I should share this awesomeness I have discovered. I have a very utility based purse now. Every thing has a spot it's small and it slings over the side of my hip perfectly. Best part is when I need to feel fashionable I throw it inside one of my big old purses and I'm immediately glamorous again. Thre Is a picture below. I have two phones. One work and one personal and they fit perfect in the long skinny zipper. So do water bottles. I got it from amazon the tag on the inside says "Magellan's"
I actually started carrying it on a bet. My Physicist said to me. "I'll give you 20.00 if you carry a functional purse for a month and I bet you never go back to that big saddle bag of yours" (my purse was not a saddle bag by the way he just thinks he's funny) I took him up on it and never returned to my "saddle bag" - lost the bet but I can pull out my phone and answer it with one hand without even taking my eyes off the road. Just a suggestion for all my big receipt filled purse friends. Also I have a long skinny envelope I keep in my purse to drop all my receipts in. When it's full I drop it in the filing cabinet at home labeled receipts - ta da ...organization for a scatterbrain!

Shut up and be sexy

Women this is for us. Hush your mouth for a moment and realize we have it so good. I live in America and I don't know a woman who isn't strong and independent. Oh, and i know...there are people that will argue that they are naturally quiet or submissive and that's fine but ummmm I don't know you, I don't know a woman like that. What I do know is sometimes we need to shut up. As women, as educated, strong, women we sometimes need to close our mouth and listen. We kill men with the amount of griping we do. Im no male advocate but so many times I have seen it. I was raised with 13 boy cousins and I have learned a thing or two about men. One huge thing I learned? Griping tunes them out. They shut off. Of course it can get under their skin and piss them off and get you what you want at times but it doesn't make you very sexy and it's annoying as hell. It also makes them alienate you. Even if you get what you want out of all this griping it really wins you nothing in the long run. Every woman i know would like to feel sexy. Here is the most important thing: griping isn't sexy. It's not attractive it's not what keeps your men out of other women's beds. Never loose who you are, you strong, beautiful women that I know but please don't take it too far that you forget how to shut up and just be sexy for your men. It's probably more important than any point you are trying to make. Trust me in this one.

Skulls and butterflies and blue skies.. Maybe

I'm working on this art piece and need a little feedback. My brain is in one of those modes where it wont make a decision on this. I thought I would add color to just the flower and then I thought just the butterfly and now I think maybe leave it alone. Any suggestions? Need to decide what medium also, color pencil, watercolor, pastel? See how my brain becomes a twisted ball of yarn? Ok go!
