celebrate everyday: day 33

2.2.18

Today I celebrate guys who ask what the heck is that thing?! Then put it on and dance around in public places:

Justin In A Poncho

This is a poncho I bought from a street vendor in Spain for $15. Sure is a small price to pay for some good laughs and entertainment. I wish all grown ups were this fun.

When’s the last time you had a dance party?

867 reasons you should have a dance party

Actually, just 1:

Because It’s fun.

I went to the BOB Awards tonight. It was a blast. I went with a crew, one of whom at one point (on the dance floor) said; “This makes me want to take off my boots!…and then he did. It was awesome, we laughed and strangers took photos.

We “snuck” (no one was paying attention to any one or any thing- so why not), into the VIP lounge a few times to get cocktails and treats from the s’mores bar. (Hello dripping, melty chocolate fountain!) We were the group that started the dance party. I personally never need an invitation to get the floor moving and was glad I was with a group that didn’t either.

It’s close to midnight on a Saturday night, and as I type in silence smiling from a great time after my party has ended for the night, I’m hoping everyone is out there in this big world living a little bit of eff-it! – just letting go and having fun. Whether you stayed in or went out, and whether you got wild or stayed calm, remember, there are no rules. What you do with your life is YOUR CHOICE. We should care a lot less about what other people think, we should get that dance floor moving even when (especially when), we’re sober, we should laugh loud enough that our face hurts, and we should sneak into the VIP lounge (ahem…in everyone situation), like we own it. Take initiative, don’t ask for permission, and…

…dance my friends, just dance.

BOB awards

Bonus fun if you strike a pose with a friend on the way out the door and see how long you can hold your Blue Steel face without cracking up.

maybe i’m not cool anymore?

If you know me at all, you know I wear the same 10 things over and over again. I think less is more and I like my whole wardrobe to fit in one big suitcase. Mostly I’d rather spend my money on gas, plane tickets, and delicious food- not clothes. It’s all about the experiences & people, not the stuff, baby! (If you’ve followed here for any amount of time, yes, that’s probably the same $8 mint green cotton tank top in nearly every photo you’ve seen me in during the past 2 years.)

As the weather has warmed and I’ve started to pull out my summer-wear I decided it was time to force myself to take on my find a new wardrobe to make sure I am halfway presentable in public including shoes for $200 or less wardrobe, challenge. My current clothes are actually getting pilly and look awful- that’s how much I’d rather spend money on life than clothes. And…

I hate shopping.

Did I mention I hate shopping?

I’d rather be taking a road trip, going for a run, drinking a beer at a picnic table with friends at a park, writing, sipping wine in Napa, dancing, camping, sitting at the beach, eating chocolate, planning an event- anything. 

So forced-shopping-fest-because-I’am-starting-to-look-homeless, happened this past weekend. Places like T.J. Maxx, Marshall’s, Ross, Old Navy and Target are my jam for the $15 or less sundress, skirt and tank top search. So there I was, begrudgingly piling my cart miles high to try a million things on, and what do I see?

80's style

Notice the sweet additional acid washed option below this triple-button pair. Yeah!

Apparently the cool kids are wearing these again. I’m thinking my Mom could pull out something that I wore that looked like these from 4th grade in 1988.

Let’s just say I steered clear and ended up with nothing at this particular T.J. Maxx. Typical try on piles of things and lucky if I end up with one. Perhaps I missed the boat not trying these awesome jorts on. I could’ve made a killer outfit with my clear jelly shoes that used to get rocks stuck in the heels when I was 10 years old if I could somehow dig those up again.

Oh, full-circle fashion. We can’t even hate you, you are so funny.

Memories.

What’s your style?

it’s like they know us

I have regular conversations with my mommy friends that usually include; “UGH! I love having kids, it is the best thing ever, but  I’m so tired! How do all the rest of the mom’s have it together more than me? How can they look so good running out the door? Their kids listen to them all the time!”

Yeah right.

My typical response is something along the lines of; Dude- you must be crazy if you think anyone, especially the busy mommies of the world “have it all” together! I guarantee those fellow mommies have shoved every last toy, dish, piece of trash or laundry in some random closet or drawer and kicked it closed to give the facade of clean, as they run late out the door to drop their kid off late to school, too. 

To all you mommies out there: I really wish you would realize how amazing you are and cut yourself a break once in a while!

Thinking of the above conversations, I cannot stop laughing over here scrolling through this website. One mom, sick of looking at the perfect picture life of other mom’s and their families in pristine white clothing, clean houses and other not-so-realistic snapshots, just seeming to have the most amazing of days, created this website to poke fun at the ridiculousness of that notion.

I love it. What a great gimme a break, share of hilarity!

How do you cut yourself a break?
