tuesday rant

I am a fiscal conservative, with a very left leaning sway towards social issues.  Most of my friends think I don’t post about political things on insta or FB because I don’t want to admit my evil Republican side. Because all Republicans are raving lunatics, right? This couldn’t be further from the truth.  In fact, I keep my social media outlets politics-free because I don’t want to read/see/complain about the horrors of this country on a place I go to for an escape.  Yes, it is an awesome platform for awareness, and I do love to look at things from all sides.  I definitely do not follow a line in the sand.  My viewpoints are made up of all kinds of sources and opinions.  Some of my closest friends feel completely opposite from me on issues – yet I value our conversations and their dialog, so that we are all getting it out there for thought.  That’s important to me.  But, I do not want to go through this exercise on my social media.

But I want to discuss how a jewelry and footwear designer, a reality show participant, that’s a WOMAN has been given a position as a government employee.  Ivanka Trump has entree to the to the most sensitive relationships in this world.  She is seemingly active in every sense of our government.  I know this isn’t the first time a family has supported the President, and nothing “bad” has happened with her inclusion so far.  I can’t decide if she is helping or hindering in the big sense of the work.  I do like that she is a well educated, smart woman that’s active in the political field, but I would hate to discount the other women that have earned their keep and fought to get to where they are now, i.e. Kamala Harris, which for the record, I disagree with many of her stands on things.

That’s all.  Felt like I needed to rant a bit today.  I will go back to dealing with high winds in Corsica.  Yep, that’s top on my work list today.  Don’t be jeally.  No really, don’t.

summertime girl

Weez is the ultimate summer girl.  She has a beachy vibe, year round with her tan skin and golden highlights.  Her style is also more SoCal with sandals and trucker hats, sun-drenched hues of aqua and coral.  Bikinis are a must.  She is so ready to kick this season off staying in the pool all day, with the only breaks reserved for sipping strawberry shakes.  A few nights ago, we went to the A’s baseball game with a group from her first grade class.  It was bound to become chilly as the night wore on, but she insisted on her shorts and pink sunnies.  Her whole attitude is filled with rays of light, and I am loving watching her shine on this summer.
