Salute

So I have a confession. I am not really a 4th of July fan. The fire crackers scare the bageezus out of me. And when the kid was just an infant they shot fireworks off in our neighborhood for hours. Do you know how hard it is to get a baby to sleep with bombs going off? Impossible! So I just am not a fan, but I thought it would be a great way to salute some great things about our country, you know things we all love and appreciate that give us the freedom to live.

I salute pee pills. Not really I just like saying it. Indulge me, say it, Pee Pills.

I salute Instagram. It has the ability to change a picture that might otherwise look like death on a stick to beautiful with just a click of a filter.

I salute yeast. No not infection, who wants to salute crotch rot, I mean yeast that make carbs. I love them. Bread, pasta, pastries, Mt. Dews. A way to a girls ass is threw her carbohydrates. 

I salute the colors red, white and blue especially when they fade to vintage. I look better in those ensembles that don't make me look so washed out.

I salute athletes. You make me realize that setting in a chair everyday could become an Olympic Sport someday. Like rolling chair races or something. 

I salute the Real Housewives of New Jersey. They make me realize that my crazy is not their kind of crazy and that being poor really does suck.

I salute toilet paper. Really, can you imagine what they wiped their butts on in prairie times? Which leads to me saluting underwear. Back then they wore those knickers/bloomers to the knees. Could you imagine now trying to take those things off in a hot match dot com moment? Me neither. 

Finally, I salute all of you. Without this little blog which by the way I  am so appreciative of every follower, lets me be just as stupid and funny in words and pictures as in real life. 

Love you all, 
Dusty

  6. Don't forget to salute Sephora. Takes all of my money but does try to make me look a little better than what I look like when I roll out of bed. Scary! Don't have kids but have 3 dogs that are terrified of fireworks. We live close enough to our minor league baseball field where they set off fireworks like every night this week. My dogs end up hiding in the bathroom. Sad.

  10. I salute you, even though I need to teach you to embrace your inner redneck with the love of fireworks. And I agree about RHONJ, any day you feel crazy, just watch Teresa and you will feel better about yourself.

  13. I'm not the biggest 4th of July fan either. Mostly because my neighbors do fireworks every night for the week before and the week after the actual day. It's the 4th of July People!! Not June 30th-July 11th Celebration.

  20. "Crotch rot" and "Pee pills".

    You're such a delicate little flower, Dusty. A precious little flower.

  21. Hell, let's just salute indoor plumbing and tampons while we're at it. I'm convinced I would never make it in the prairie times.

  22. The toilet paper thing... it's kind of a big deal. And good toilet paper is vital. I was born in the Philippines and when we visit we make sure to bring toilet paper wherever we go... even malls because it's just not the same... unless of course you pay to use the nicer "comfort lounges".

    fireworks are over rated, but I do appreciate a good sparkler. They're pretty without the noise.

  23. Fireworks used to scare my dog so much she would try to escape from where Ed she was, ncluding by eating the drywall in our house. And I live near Disneyland where fireworks go off at approximately 9:30 pm every single day. This was a dilemma that took some effort to work through. So yea.... Fireworks aren't for everyone. But I LOVE them. I will light a sparkler tonight for you in your honor.

  24. I too salute toilet paper... and also Apple products for keeping my child entertained for longer than 5 minutes.

  31. ok, putting infection and crotch and pasta and mt. dew in the same sentence is just wrong.
    wrong.
    yes, I still love you enough to comment, but it's wrong.

  32. I salute you, I didnt see one firework yesterday, maybe because I was tipsy and dancing to karaoke but whatev.

  33. I never thought to salute modern underwear... this is what I love about you Dusty. You make me think about things in a whole new light. While we're at it, we should salute modern date dresses. Could you imagine trying to get out of a dress with a corset for a steamy one night stand? Much easier to have the super-tight lycra number that barely covers your rear end for those moments.

    Colorado doesn't believe in fireworks right now. I'm kind of really saluting that. Those suckers are loud.
