That’s the sweetest tongue lashing I’ve ever gotten. 🙂

I thought rolling on the ground was the latest exercise trend. It certainly keeps Honey skinny. I should probably try it myself.

Whenever I take pictures for my blog, I have Johan take them over and over. He’s actually gotten good at minimizing my boobs, posing me in a way that will pass muster.

Our dogs aren’t self conscious about anything and I love it. I really need to follow their lead.

Our Abby was the best for showing how to not be self-conscious though – she didn’t care one bit if she was missing a leg. She would just get out there and get on with it, and the other dogs didn’t care either!
Sometimes (when I’m around my 4 best gal pals who are all super short!) I feel self-conscious about being a head (or more) taller than all of them. But then other times, like when I’m with my tall hubs, I wear heals and don’t mind struttin’ a little and being 6’2″ in my heals. (But I draw the line at a 3 in. heal – which makes it hard to buy fancy shoes these days as the heals are outta control tall!)

Misty is totally the strong woman, very feminine, knowing how to use her wiles to get what she wants. Timmy is the consummate little male, interested in his comfort and not above the dog versions of belching and farting. One dog show judge told me in confidence that she would never give a second look at a male Poodle who had “any quality of gay.” And she was not referring to happiness.

I would like to combine Misty’s aristocratic femininity with Timmy’s insistence on comfort.

I had to wear dresses or suits to work for many years; but I worked in NYC and lived on Long Island. There was no way I was going to wear heels, or even low-heeled shoes, walking from Penn Station to 42nd & Lexington or 23rd and Madison. Some of my bosses at MetLife were morons who thought they could dictate what I could or couldn’t wear on my feet between my desk and the building’s door to the street. I ignored their comments and silently told them what they could do to themselves, and continued to wear the sneakers. Now I doubt any of my “work” shoes would even fit.

You are a woman after my own heart! We think so much alike it’s almost scary! I HAVE TO check out your blog!! 🙂 My inner lady hasn’t worn mascara in over a year — and even then it didn’t last for more than a few hours.

My mother was stunned that I packed jeans, tshirts, sweats and my Vibram 5-finger toe shoes. You know, the ones I wear to work. Every. Day. I’m a creative. I make videos and websites. No one cares what I look like, least of all the most important people in my world: Padfoot and George. My mom has always been super in tune with my appearance, and it has always been a point of contention between us. There are times when I do “dress” up and put on make up and decent clothes. However, for the most part, I spend my time comfy with a few dog hairs mixed in among the threads. It makes me happy, and it keeps the wrinkles away. 🙂
