yep. that's right. i mean i am certain there are LOTS of women out there who are thankful for ol' blue eyes...but not necessarily for the same reasons that i am.
in 1969...when i was just a wee lass (shocking, i know...you didn't think i was even BORN yet, right?????? -- shake your head yes in agreement to this if you really, really love me ;)
anyhow, in 1969 mr. redford purchased land in utah...and a dream began to unravel. SUNDANCE.
you film people will think movies. you fashion & design people will think CATALOG. i sooooo look forward to the arrival of my sundance catalog. http://www.sundancecatalog.com/category/customer+service/about+us.do it is filled with ideas...and inspiration...and things that i will never in this lifetime be able to afford.
BUT IT INSPIRES MY CREATIVITY...and i'm able to draw from it...IT'S LIKE ROBERT REDFORD CAN SEE INSIDE MY MIND...AND HE DESIGNS ALL OF THIS STUFF JUST FOR ME.
well, everything except maybe for this one thing. I THINK HE'S LOST HIS MIND ON THE UDDER HAT. they SAY it's utterly fabulous. i think it's UTTERLY ridiculous. if you have an extra $98 you can have 'WHIMSY, WARMTH, ATTENTION GUARANTEED.'
i don't think i want attention for having a bunch of cow nipples on my head. REALLY, REDFORD?
look at the model. i think they got her plastered before they put this hat on her. in fact, i don't even think she REALIZES what is going on.
BUT ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE, many MANY years ago i saw a ring in the sundance catalog that i thought was SO NEAT. it was called a WALKING LIBERTY ring. they don't call it the same thing any more but still offer something similar. it is a silver band made from a half dollar coin. IF YOU PURCHASE IT FROM SUNDANCE, that HALF DOLLAR will cost you ONE HUNDRED TWENTY. plus shipping. but who's counting, right?
this spring, i really REALLY wanted to come up with something special for austin for his high school graduation gift. i wanted it to be an heirloom, with MONUMENTAL meaning. but it had to be REALLY REALLY REALLY cheap. lol. who better than me to tackle that, right?
i found a craftswoman on etsy who was able to do the ring for me for way, way, WAAAAY less.
it has MULTIPLE LAYERS OF MEANING.
1. he's attending liberty university. enough said.
2. around the ring it has the words from the coin: IN GOD WE TRUST.
3. i searched through the bible and looked at a gazillion different scripture references that would coincide with the years that this coin was made...i ended up purchasing him the 1945 ring. when he opened it, i told him to look up PSALM 19:45. guess what???? there IS NO psalm 19:45. hee hee. but then i had him turn to psalm 119:45. check out what it says: And I will walk at liberty,
For I seek Your precepts.
HOW FREAKING COOOOOOOOL IS THAT????? he is literally walking at liberty...and walking IN liberty.
so dear mr. redford, you had no idea when you purchased that land in utah back in '69 that you were going to inspire a gift that would be cherished forever.
THANK YOU. i was also going to say that i think it's really awesome that you give so much money away through your spaghetti sauce...but i'm pretty sure that's paul newman?
in any case, you boff have FABULOUS blue eyes that a girl could just get lost in ;)
