...SAY WHAAAAAAAT WEDNESDAY AND SOME BOOKS

(TAKEN A FEW WEEKS AGO ON VACA...DON'T MIND THE BRA IN THE BACKGROUND!! ; )

happy wednesday everyone...or as some call it "hump" day!! my question today came to me over the weekend while my hubby and i were out for a walk....so here goes

WHAT IS UP WITH PEOPLE WALKING THEIR DOG AND NOT CLEANING UP AFTER IT???!!!

i mean...really???
carry a bag with you...
be smart...
think of others who are strolling along, enjoying a romantic walk with their loved one...and then boom...step in a little something unexpected!!!
it's simply common sense to me and i don't understand how someone can let their dog go...and then just walk away.......??????
what about you guys...what do you think?? do you go up and say something to that person or do you just let it go???

i also wanted to list the books that those of you commented about on my "say whaaaaaaaaat wednesday" vlog a couple weeks ago. my question was "what book or books inspired you to get on your creative path??" so here are the books that you all recommended:

SPILLING OPEN by Sabrina Ward Harrison (recommended by 3 people)
ORDINARY SPARKLING MOMENTS by Christine Mason Miller (recom. twice)
SUCCULENT WILD WOMAN by SARK...basically anything written by SARK
THE ARTIST'S WAY by Julia Cameron (recommended twice)
TAKING FLIGHT by Kelly Rae Robertson (recommended 4 times)
PRETTY LITTLE THINGS by Sally Jean
THE ALCHEMIST by Paulo Coelho
LIFE IS A VERB by Patti Digh (i just finished this...and LOVED it)
HOW TO BE AN EXPLORER OF THE WORLD by Keri Smith
LIVE BOLDLY by MaryAnn Radmacher
LEAN FORWARD INTO YOUR LIFE by MaryAnn Radmacher
A WALK ON THE BEACH by Joan Anderson

so...there you have it!!! thanks so much to all of you that visit!!! happy hump day...sending love!

  3. OK - every pocket in everything I own has a baggy in it. And there's more where those came from because sometimes we need several on one walk! I have even stooped to pick up other dogs' poop, because that's the kind of thing that makes someone say "we can't allow any dogs here", like for instance, all trails in CA state parks! You're absolutely right - makes me crazy!!
    Love the book selections, but sometimes I go a little overboard. Have to read the ones I have before I get more! So many books, so little time.....

  5. I glare loudly, LOL, and pick it up. I carry extra bags so I can pick up whatever I find .. because it bothers me immensely. Atlas is also good at going right next to a giant pile so that I cannot miss it. ;-)

    I keep staring at the photo, trying to find the bra, LOL. Still not seeing it!

  7. who is this jody who is coming to arizona?
    with a sketchbook no less.
    are you holding out a local artsy friend on me?
    i had to laugh at elizabeths comment...
    i glare. LOUDLY. how cute is she!
    i am going to sadly admit that i have been the very naughty and unprepared dog owner before...
    i know
    i know
    don.t throw stones.
    i just don.t go to too many PUBLIC-Y places with ava and when i do, sometimes i forget that she might need to use the facilities.
    it only happened once. on a walk, but does it count that i found a stick and carried it away to a bush?
    i am totally hanging my head in disgust of myself now.
    i, like patty, will fill my pockets with baggies first thing tomorrow morning.
    oh
    i do love you!
