Hi Ladies :) Happy Friday! Well, What's left of it. I was just outside and If you were reading my blog a while back you'll remember me saying that I live by an Army base. Every night I hear "Taps" being played by a soldier and it sounds so beautiful. I cannot tell you the feeling I get when I hear it. It's quiet outside and all you hear is the wind and "Him" playing that beautiful tune. I have a dear loved one who just got back from Bagdad. He was gone for a year. And it was really scary. But he's back and he's safe. And I for one am grateful and happy to have him back.
This was my OODD. The Breezy Polkas cardigan And The All Seasons shirt Dress. And my cute Seychelles shoes. I was reading anthrosdottir's blog blog a while back and an anonymous blogger said that some bloggers were "robots " or something to the effect that pretty much just stand there and pose.And are pretentious. Also, Someone left a really hurtful message on Tara's blog I was feeling No Love. I cannot imagine the stuff she has to read and deal with. But she took care of business. She is little but "Carries a big stick" as my mom used to say. I cannot go out sometimes and take beautiful pictures like some of the other bloggers because frankly I can't sometimes. I am certainly not a mindless, Emotionless, vain, or by any means Show off type of person. I don't think I am vain? If I was think you'd all pass me by. But I have read that some people say horrible things. I am here to have fun and I have met some great girls. Certainly My clothing is also not spectacular. I am not going to be pitted against other bloggers. I have written to some and they to me. And they are All special one way or another.Some are moms that work, Others are single girls that enjoy having fun. NO ONE is better than another. I certainly am not. I live my life and I am a pretty happy person. I have my bad days and good days. But this BLOG is not all me. It's a really small part of who I am and what I am to people that love me. My Blog is mine. No one but I see it and not because I don't want my friends to know. I just think I have the right to have some things to myself. I know it's probably boring to look at a headless picture. My small picture is here and that's as far as I am willing to go for now. But trust me That's me. I just really needed to let you know that I am not pretentious and vain. I am just "ME" plain and simple. I wish you all a great weekend and Have a great Evening. I am going to go visit some of my favorite Friends in Blog Land.
Oh, I love the All Seasons Shirt dress! I had it in the mustard color, but had to return it because the lining started coming apart after only a couple of wears. By the time I returned it, my size was completely sold out:( Oh well, at least I can see how pretty it is on you! It looks great with the red cardigan.
ReplyDeleteI always hate to see unkind things posted on people's blogs. It is uncalled for. I really think that we need to support each other and like I've always heard - if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. I wish more people would follow this advice:)
Thank You Kristin, I just think it's like you said. If you can't say anything nice do not say it AT ALL. Aw, Sorry about the dress :( It's so yummy. I was expecting a really hard fabric. But it is billowy and soft. I saw a Yellow one on E bay. But I don't look good in mustard. Maybe you'll score you one at EA.
ReplyDeletelove the red and white! makes a fun contrast/ match with your background actually, I just realized!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what makes people roam the internet leaving random snarky criticisms on people's personal blogs. Yeesh. I believe Thumper's mom said it best: if you can't say anything nice , don't say nothin' at all!"
Thank You Sarah ;) I didn't even see the red with the red background. What a bonehead I am. I just hope I never have to deal with that. I am more of a lover. Not a hater. But as long as we all stick together like we seem to do. That's all that matters. We know who we are.
ReplyDeleteyou look simply lovely in that dress. I especially enjoyed reading this post when you referred to "Taps" being played by a soldier and how it sounds so beautiful. Gabby, that was a hauntingly sweet prose. I'm terrified of gun shots but have never thought about it that way. there is so much beauty in so many things that we sometimes just brush off. And I thank you for staying true to yourself. We're all different in our own ways and like you, I don't feel comfortable showing my face. I think I lack the confidence, and I am shy, but that makes me who I am and people can accept that or not. so thank you for accepting me the way I am. :)
ReplyDeleteYes Lisa, I totally understand. Plus I like you even if I don't know what you look like. You are the person that comes across on here. You are not your looks, Or your hair. You Know? But yes, Every night I hear "him" At 10 30 and again at 11PM. It's just so emotional every time. Even though I've been hearing it for years. Thank You for your lovely words. Coming from you means A lot <3
