I Took A Dump!

"Beginnings are usually scary, endings are usually sad, but it's the what's in the middle that counts. So when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up. And it will." -Hope Floats

I love that quote from one of my favorite movies. So, whether it's renewing old friendships with a night out, succeeding in class, working your way up the top or realizing life is moving on, make everyday count.

Have a great weekend friends,

Dusty

I Took A Dump

Sometimes you have to see the beauty 

on days when you need a little sunshine

If you open your eyes wide enough

everything around you becomes clearer

That it's the little gestures

like a cuddle

 sweet words

from a beautiful soul

or a funny face

that makes life all worth it.

Make the little things count!

Happy Friday,

Dusty

I Took A Dump

Friday's here. I hope you all enjoy the weekend. This week has been one of those push yourself to the limit type of weeks. But a little reflections always brings me back to my center

Sometimes I get wrapped up with the

materials things in life

But

it's the beautiful creatures and my surroundings

that bring me back to reality.

Have a great weekend,

Dusty

I Took A Dump

It's time for good ole fashion dump.

 It's Friday.

 The birds are chirping.

 The sky is blue.

 Life is hunky dory. 

Sometimes you have to pop a squat to get the perfect picture

Sometimes there's that feeling of growing up too soon

Sometimes your sense of taste engulfs your being

Sometimes love comes in many different languages

and then the simplest things make you happy

and then a smile brightens your day

and then you create a treasure

and then you are warm and fuzzy inside

Happy Friday,

Dusty

I Took A Dump

Happy Friday to all. It's time for a minor dump. I did so much dumping last week, I was left a little dehydrated. So just a few things as we close out this second week of 2013.

I also want to invite you to join me on Twitter and Instagram if you haven't already. I would love to follow along with you and more madness.

First, one more picture of the kid on game day. I made him aware

the Ducks play the Vols this year.  He called me a chump. 

Here I am trying to make a duck face. I just end up looking like

I passed gas.

Me n the Kid

Two lazy ass Labs

So, that's it! I want to say thank you to all the newbies this week. Please let me know you followed so I can follow back. Also, I had some fantastic giggles these past few days. I love when there is laughter. 

Have a great weekend y'all!

I Took A Dump

What a great week. I was so full of it in fact I had to take a dump. A photo dump of course. Dirty minded people. Here's my story this week.

Strange things happen in life

You can choose to find the beauty in it

You can roll with the punches

or fight with all you have

either way, buckle up friends

it's my crazy ride

Find the beauty in the smallest things,

Have a great weekend!

Dusty

I Took A Dump

It's Friday! It is gone and forgotten, but I needed to take a dump so here's the story for this week.

Sometimes we make choices to see the beauty

whether it's crazy thoughts wrestling in our heads

the temptations of the beast

or the battle of our inner selves

the answer is simple

This is me. It's just life.

Happy Friday,

Dusty

I Took A Dump

Thank you baby Jesus it's FRIDAY! Not only has this been the week from Saskatchewan (I only said that because it would sound bad to cuss in the same line as thanking the great one for this day), but it is the best day of the week if you ask me. I decided that since I was so full of shit (not in the same sentence now) this week, I would take a dump. So here's my plop, plop, fizz, fizz.

Sometimes we need a little spice in our life

 whether is laying with a loved one

listening to good music

wrapped in a fuzzy blanket

or daydreaming

Happiness is where your heart is...

Have a great weekend, cozy up to the ones you love,

Dusty

I Took A Dump

After two days of recovery from minor surgery, I thought Friday would be a good time to take a photo dump. You know, happy pictures.

Oh, hello! It's me and the fedora

Looking at you beautiful peeps from up above

Having a few drinks

With a handsome man

It's my idea of heaven

Now here's the 411. Does anyone take their own picture and wonder if they look cross eyed? My view from our first ever pro football game at the Tennessee Titans. We had executive suite seats thanks to Duh's work. Free everything! A beautiful surprise from Mrs. Independent - love you. The love of my life who for his own life cannot take a picture without making a funny face and Gelato, thank you Italians! You eat this and will not ever eat regular ice cream again. Well, you might its a little pricey but worth it. I threaten my household with death if they touched it.

Again, thank you August sponsors and if you would like to sponsor, check out my sponsor page at the top. 

Happy Friday!

Dusty

I took a dump

Life is a wild ride

We put on many hats to get threw it

Or a set of wings to fly

But with family by your side, you can conquer your fears

Here's the 411... We went on a vacay to the Smokey Mountains Dollywood theme park. The kid is setting in a replica seat of the new ride the Screaming Eagle (watching it made me sick). Duh in this hillbilly hat he found at a leather store (no he didn't buy it), a photo I took the morning we left (hair tutorial high five) and the photo of my family on the Thunderhead roller coaster. The kid said he never wanted to ride it again! His face is priceless. Moral of this story..Family is everything. 

Have a great weekend,

Dusty

I Took A Dump

Thank you baby Frances for Friday. I have no clue who Frances is, I just made it up. Although a sorta great week with a day off in the middle, I am ready for it to cease and desist. Here's my take on life this week.

Sometimes we look in the mirror to not always like what we see

(good hair day alert)

We challenge ourselves knowing the person to beat is ourselves

And even though the pain is sometimes too much to bare

there is light at the end of the tunnel

For someone comes along and makes it all worth it

Here's the 411...I succumbed to the "blogger bathroom" picture. I thought it might suffice as my outfit post that two fashionable bloggers Makaila and Shanna might think would be okay..Total fail. They weren't cooperative. And I think like the vlog, I will banish such future pictures.

Another fantab bloggy friend, Lindsey talked me into this 30 day challenge. I think she's trying to secretly kill me. I started this on Sunday and for the next three days I walked like a peg leg pirate. I seriously had to lower myself onto the toilet by the handicap bar at work. 

Fireworks show down from our house. Lots of booming which I am not fond of, but I got a great shot with Instagram.

And finally, a sweet note that the kid wrote me and laid under my pillow. I am not sure I could love anything more.

So there you have it. My photo dump for the week. I am 2 pounds lighter. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Love,

Dusty

I took a dump

I took a dump. A photo dump and here is what life has been about for me. This is the story.

Sometimes a girl just needs something shiny

Or maybe even a fur coat

A good meal

to wake up and smell the flowers

or a place where she can think

then she can be happy with all that surrounds her and her days are complete. 

Here's the real story. I got this amazing cuff last year at a jewelry party. High five myself. Libby Lou smiling at me to go pee. Office lunch of BBQ and potato salad in which I devoured every morsel and my fluffy agreed. A beautiful tree with pink blossoms outside my office building and our bathroom renovation which I designed and supervised..from a far. You'll see more of that later. 

Have a great weekend everyone. Don't forget. Soak in all that comes your way. Or ignore it, hell I don't care. Just blog about it so I can have some reading material.

Love,

Dusty
