A Lazy Sunday



I am officially on vaca from school and couldn't be more thrilled. Typically my Sundays are quite busy as I usually am trying to catch up on the week's school work that is due by midnight each Sunday (yes, that's right, I tend to procrastinate. Hard to believe, I know). It is actually quite tragic, since there is nothing better than enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon, especially before the start of a new week. So, since I'm finally on break and I have no assignments due and nothing hanging over my head to get done, the first thing on my vaca "to-do" list was enjoy a lazy Sunday for a change.  I've already enjoyed a tasty Sunday morning breakfast and a long walk, and now I'm tucked in with movies, break n' bakes, and my favorite companion, Mr. D. What could be better? Well.......let me tell ya. The only thing better is adding mind-numbing, meaningless Internet activity to the list. In my current state of vegetation, I came across a website that shows what your yearbook photo would like across the decades. Thanks to all this exciting free time, I've discovered that I would have looked pretty amazing in the 60' and 70's. How funny are these? You should try.

Fashion and Politics





I admit it. I am an avoider. For the most part, I avoid politics at all cost. Yes, I do have my own opinions, but I prefer to keep them to myself. For me, I think it is because when it comes to politics, the "crazy" in us all just seems to come out. Don't get me wrong. I am all for passion and enthusiasm about our country and it's direction, but I just hate all the drama that comes with differing opinions. Of course, it always seems intensified when it is an election year. So, while I will refrain from the usual debates regarding presidential candidates and their proposed policies or never-ending promises, I will however discuss an equally important issue....yes, that's right. FASHION! 
Now, I am a firm believer that the eye candy on a man's right arm is just as equally important as the man himself. The age-old adage is true, "Behind every great man is a great woman", and when it comes to the First Lady, it definitely doesn't hurt if she can dress as fashionably as politics allow. I personally would prefer not to have a haggard looking First Lady representing American women everywhere. 
So, judge for yourself. Do we have any potential fashionistas vying for First Lady?
