I Need Socks

I took the dogs to the puppy park today and the only pair of socks I had to wear were a black pair of anklets that kept sliding off my heels into my tennies. I hate it when that happens.

I bought a few nice pairs of socks a few months ago, but they were the thick kind...to keep my piggies warm. Then the Pumpkin puppy and Drama dog went into my padlocked drawers and dragged one sock of almost every pair I had to the backyard to play tug-o-war (except, of course, the nasty black anklets)...and now they all have holes and/or are torn apart.

Sock Thieves Playing Tug-o-War

See? I need socks.

The cotton kind. The ones that stay on over my heels. Ones without holes. New ones. The kind you get when you go to a store. Except I can't go to the store. Which means I can't buy new socks. Because thanks to the economic meltdown, I'm on a spending freeze until further notice. No bailout for me, right Mr. President? But how about a pair of cotton socks? The address is 12930 Ventura Blvd, #674, Studio City, CA 91604.

Thank you.

Dream On

Martin Luther King. A true rock star. A man with a dream. And how appropriate that we are celebrating his birthday the day before Barack Obama is being sworn in as the 44th president of the United States.

Here is Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech (well worth the 17 mins)...



This is a great day, and a great time in general, to think about our own dreams.

Although I think a dream is useless if it just remains a dream. So, I'll say this is a great day to make a plan. A plan to turn our dreams into reality. Dreams are pretty easy as they only require thought. The plan takes a lot more effort. But now that I think about it, a plan is also useless if it just remains a plan.

So, I'll say once we make the plan, today (and/or tomorrow and the next day) is a great day to enact the plan. Enactment is the hardest part. I guess that's why the enactment of the plan is where most of our dreams are derailed. Then we become an "I shoulda, coulda, woulda" person. I don't want to be one of those. Do you?

Dream, plan, enact. Dream, plan, enact. Dream, plan, enact.
