Good Cause Product

Some say the economy is in a tough climate. That being said, how are you spending your money? What are you buying? Is what your buying doing anyone any good? Those of you that know me know that I love stores, I love clothes, I love people, and I love things that are good. There is a brand out that has been around since 2006 called TOMS Shoes, stands for Shoes for Tomorrow, (http://www.tomsshoes.com/). This is a brand of shoes that is known as a 'cause' product. For every pair of TOMS shoes sold, one pair is donated to someone in a less fortunate country. (according to their website Argentina and South Africa). Pretty cool right? Well, I was introduced to this brand about a year ago. I have liked the idea of designers doing good for the good of man. However, I have just thought, "that's a cool idea, I hope I can sell some". Well today my view of TOMS changed, I love the idea even more. Why did it change? You may ask, well I met the Creator/Designer/"Chief Shoe Giver" Blake Mycoskie. What a cool guy. He seems so genuine and inspiring for a cause. He wanted to do something that mattered. He has partnered with retailers in order to branch out the cause. So yes, I am truly on the TOMS band wagon. Do I have a pair yet? No. Will I get a pair, let's hope so (I want the pair below). Remember it is for a good cause.

I am so excited and can't keep this to myself. I am filling my car up with gas that only cost $1.99 a gallon!!! Who would have thought we would see this day again? When was the last time you got to do this? Ok, I'm done, but I just filled up for $28!!!!

Voting

Today Lisa and I cast our votes for this greatly anticipated election. We got in on the early voting in Texas. I have to tell you, more than ever before, I had a great sense of pride walking in to the polling center. Also, I now feel a great weight lifted off of me. I have cast my vote and do not have to think about it any more. This years election may be the most historic of our lifetime. I urge you all to vote on election day, or earlier if you are lucky enough, no lines :). Make your vote count. (Ok, I'm done with my political agenda).

One of those days...

So do you ever just have "one of those days"? Today was mine. Started off good enough, I knew it was going to be busy, but good enough. Then for some strange reason it just took an odd turn. My attitude changed, my stress level rose, conflict came up, and my day was a struggle. Now that I'm home tonight I can reflect on the day and plan on how I'm going to face tomorrow. It wont be an easy day, but knowing this I can better prepare. I just have to remember, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Pray for me that I can handle my day with the proper attitude and composure that is necessary. Have a good Wednesday!

My Car....

Ok, a couple of blogs ago I said that if I was given a lot of money (I can't remember, I don't read my blogs) I would buy a Mercedes Mclaren. Today I was looking at one of my favorite blogs Uncrate.com and they announced the new Mclaren out next year. If I get this money soon, I will save it and wait for the new one to come out. It is SWEET!! Top speed 220 MPH. I could get to work in no time! Only 150 will be sold. Want one??

This just in....

The Cardinals lost! Thanks for the hopes of an above .500 season. (where they now stand at 2-2). This pic is kind of how they played today, on their backs, allowing 56 points to be put up!

On top of the 56 points, they let Brett Favre score '6' TD's. That's right, SIX!!! Can some one say, WAKE UP SECONDARY!!!!!

Anyways, Warner had a good showing, they put up 35. AND STILL LOST!! But he had a solid game (Top passer of the week with 472 yards). Good news, Boldin is doing ok (in reference to the above photo).

NEXT WEEK!!! The 4-0 Bills. GO CARDS!!
