Oct. 10, 2008 - The Leopard Print Within.
Thanks to a board dust up on a homeschool forum I moderate, I've
written much publicly over the past day and even more in private
emails about how we are all so much more than the political (and
other) shorthand categories used to define us.
I am a conservative, evangelical, home educating, 40 something mama
of four kids ages two to teen. Let your mental image of me develop.
If it didn't involve long hair, glasses and denim, you're just not
being honest. And yes, I know some of you pegged me with a loaf of
home made, whole grain bread in my hand too.
Well, today, I purchased a pair of three inch high-heeled, peep-toed,
sling back, sleek-furred (though I pray to all things PETA it isn't
real fur...I don't think it is), leopard print pumps.
Take THAT, stereotype!
These pumps were made for walkin' and a walkin' s what they're gonna
do, out on a date with my fabulously hot, bald headed hubby of 17
years. Do you all remember The Velveteen Rabbit? How the rabbit had
had all the fur rubbed off of him from too much love and thus, had
become 'real'? Well, so it is with my bald headed, much loved hubby.
True to form, I did get these for a relative steal at Nordstrom Rack.
Originally $80 (who in their right mind would pay that?), I got em
for $29.90.
My point? Be fabulous. Be you. Or be a better you. Be a leopard
print you.
Blessings, Holly

May I ask where you moderate? This is a just for curiosity question.

Woo hoo! Watch out world! Enjoy the sling backs. Nuthin' like a hot pair of shoes to make you feel sassy (or achy, however you wanna look at it). ;0)
