Humbly

So remember when I was being all snooty about fads I disliked back in this post? ah haha, yeah. I have something to admit. Again.

See these puppies? They are actually crocs.

Yep, I caved when I saw the website and the rave reviews these sandals got.

I actually have kind of bad hips and need support in my shoes when I walk. But who wants to wear tennis shoes every day in 90 degree weather?? Not me!! So when I saw these on the website, I just had to give them a try. Some ladies were raving about how they didn't need their arch supports when they had these sandals, they could sight-see all day and their feet wouldn't hurt....

So now I own crocs. Not the official, elephant shoe kind. Just some little sandals. Oh yeah, here's a funny part. They are called "Sexi flip". I don't know that I would use a word that sounds exactly like "sexy" to describe these babies :)



Peace and blessings!!

Following up on the things guys should never say post

So, I guess I know what sparks everybody's interest now! Over 100 page views yesterday, haha. Just to make it all clear, yes I have had those things said to me and my friends. Yes, I remember who said them. But I don't harbor any hard feelings over them, any more at least. I did at one point think about painting giant keys on their cars (sarcastically of course, I know what keying a car means). Now, I tell people, mainly my girl friends some of these stories and we have a great little laugh about it.

What can I say? Not all my stories are about family picnics and boy birds laying eggs :)

Peace and blessings!!

6 things guys should NEVER say to a girl

Remember when I posted this one a while ago?? Well I've got another jewel to add to the collection, so I decided to update :)

I've seen a lot of these lists, but from life experiences, I've decided to make my own, mainly for fun because I am bored.

1. "You look tired."
What?? You're saying I look haggard and un-refreshed and not pretty???
You poor guys. I think deep down we all know that's not what you really mean. But it still sucks when we know we aren't looking our best. And that tired look? It usually doesn't initially come from being tired. It comes from a sucky day or...mainly that. A sucky day. So don't make it suckier by telling us in so many words that we don't look so great, k?

2. "What did you do to your hair?"
Huh??? This translates into "your hair looks weird and I don't like it." Again, I think we kinda know that's not what you mean, but still... New hairstyles are grounds for extreme self-consciousness, so let's not make it any worse, k?

3. "You have potential."
Huhwhat???? Without going into any detail about the situation this phrase was used in, let me just say this. NEVER tell a girl she has potential when referring to a future with her. In my case (and his) it ended badly. And this quote is forever branded in my little mental quotes hall of fame. If you don't see a bright future with your lady, try to end it before you whip out this gem of a phrase, k?

4. "I didn't really miss you that much."
Yup. I really had a male specimen tell me this once. I'm so glad that now I can look back and laugh at it, but at the time, it was very un-funny. Um, if you feel this way, please don't say it. Ouch!

5. "I will give my wife a couple months after she gives birth to recover, but then I expect her to get back in shape."
True story people, a guy once told this to one of my friends. Good luck finding a wifey, pal!!

6. "You're not harsh, just a little rough around the edges."
Spoken like a true gentleman. The person that said this to me now has 2 wonderful quotes in this post. The circumstances were thus. We were walking into a class at the same time and I made some smart alec remark to him. He responded with something like, "oooo, yikes Savannah." To which I said, "I know, I'm so harsh." And he answered with the above phrase in a most non-joking way. Now, this particular instance would not have bothered me had it not been for the fact that this guy has repeatedly been very offensive and yet repeatedly tried to take me on dates. He can't seem to imagine why I would not want to go on said dates with him. I guess me being honest with him and saying "no" qualifies as "rough", which I am pretty much okay with:) Just to keep things light, I will share one of my favorite cartoons with you guys that pretty much some up my feelings towards certain bros, haha :D

Haha, these are all things that have been said to me or friends of mine. Maybe it's okay to be honest, but man!! Sometimes the truth sucks eggs! And sometimes we can all adjust our priorities a little (Hem hem, number 5)


Peace and blessings!!

favorite things

I have a few favorite things. Places, foods, animals,...

Galena Creek has always been a place I get excited to visit. It's beautiful, peaceful, and close by.

We always have a great time up there as a family, so we went last Saturday. We packed a bunch of food and loaded up the dog and drove there. Food always tastes better outside, why is that? Anyway, it was a super peaceful trip, we had a great time.

Another random favorite of the day?? Fruity pebbles. I could eat punch bowls of that cereal every day and never get sick of it. Actually, I have eaten like 3 or 4 bowls of it in one day before. Basically breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack. Oh, and it's gluten free, so double bonus, I don't get sick!

Peace and blessings!!

Fads I dislike

Cake pops. Can't tell you how many events and such I've gone to where these suddenly appearing, apparently amazing little buggers have been.

What do I have against cake pops you might ask?? Nothing. Oh wait, yeah. Gluten!!

Crocs. I've never owned a pair. Mainly because I don't want my feet to look like giant elephant feet molded to look like human feet. But I'm also secretly jealous of people every time I see them wearing a pair. Because they look so darn comfortable! But I think Crocs' day in the sun may be coming to an end soon. Because they started compromising the original design and coming out with all kinds of shoes and other products. I may even purchase something croc-ish soon, because check out this website!   Somebody was thinking

White watches. I own one, so this is basically a confessional about me caving into a fad. I love my white watch. But I sort of stop loving it as much when I see it's twin on 30 other girls at church or somewhere. So then I take it off and put it in my purse, only to take it out a little while later and apologize for being so petty. Okay, I don't really take it off. I just try to hang on to a little of my pride and wear that thing like it's the only white watch ever made by man. This is the white watch I bought-->No, I am not above the trend.

Gluten free diets. Why would you do this to yourself if you didn't actually have to?? If I had the choice, I'd still be stuffing my face with gluten, straight gluten 24/7. I'm jealous of the people who have a choice. Just do this for me. If it gets to be something that makes you sad that you can't eat gluten any more because you decided to go on that diet, go ahead. Just eat that cake pop someone brought to the party. This all applies to the people that don't have an allergy or intolerance for it of course. If you do, then don't eat that cake pop and come join my club. I'm considering t-shirt designs as we speak.

This one is kinda hard to explain. But in so many words, the fad to be individual and unique. Because now we are all trying so hard to be unique that there is no band undiscovered, no hairstyle untried, no awesome t-shirt unworn. We are all so unique that we are exactly the same. So stop trying to be unique and you will be the most different person you know, haha.

Just so you know, most of this is pretty much a joke and I've been quietly laughing to myself typing it out :)

Peace and Blessings!!
