Title Nine Spoofs

Are you familiar with Title Nine catalog?  It is one of my most favorite things to receive in the mail.  I often dream of a life where I am wearing their clothes and am either biking, paddling or skateboarding around town looking free and easy.  The one thing that bursts my bubble is reading the bios of the models.  I used to enjoy reading about their favorite book, dog's name and favorite childhood memory, but now I get depressed when I read about their multiple jobs, vacations where they cure some disease in a small village or see that their favorite food is broccoli.  Really???  I find it hard enough to get my kids to school on time, or remember to get milk before the next morning's breakfast.

Through discussions with friends I have found they feel the same.  Don't get me wrong, I think the gals from Title Nine accomplish great things for their communities and lead full and rewarding lives.  By no means do I want to diminish their accomplishments, but don't we deserve praise too?  That is why I am here to help us all celebrate the everyday.

Did you get the garbage can out to the curb on time, or mow the lawn before it rained?  Great job!  Send me a picture to post of you doing something that we all do everyday.  I'll put a bio of you with it and help you celebrate.  Remember, what we accomplish everyday makes the world go 'round.
