30 days of thanksgiving. DAY TWO.

today i am thankful for scarves.  yes, that's right.  SCARVES ROCK.

i had to work today.  we are busy getting ready for a BIG EVENT at the hallmark store tomorrow.  for just a FEW HOURS there are going to be some awesome specials.  one of those great deals is 30% off all of the scarves in the store.  

we have a PLETHORA of scarves.  most of them are great.  BUT THERE'S THIS ONE COLLECTION OF SCARVES that we've had for like, MONTHS.  they're weird.  they're shaped funny.  and no one really knows what the HECK to DO with them.  they are ODD.  and obviously NO ONE WANTS THEM.

so i told my boss we need to reevaluate how we are marketing them.  virginia beach is FILLED with dog lovers.  LET'S SELL THEM AS LOVELY LITTLE ACCESSORIES FOR OUR FURRY FRIENDS.  and if you want, you can even purchase one for yourself and you can match your pet.

i was kinda kidding.  but wanda wasn't.  before you knew it, i was being sent home with scarves and instructed to do a photo shoot with my best furry friend MAYA.

jordan was a good sport and took us out to SHOOT US.  hee hee.

and here's what we came up with.  

prints have been sent to one hour photo and by tomorrow morning MAYA AND I will be the unofficial weird scarf models at the local virginia beach hallmark.  LOL.

on a more serious note, DID YOU KNOW THAT SCARVES BREAK LANGUAGE BARRIERS?

meet my sweet friend dorothy.  you can call her dorothy.  I CALL HER BUNNY.  this is a picture of the two of us in MALAWI, AFRICA in the spring of 2000.  it was a trip that changed my life.  bunny had so many important lessons in life and gratitude and courage that she taught me.  and i taught bunny several different ways to tie her lovely 'women of virtue' scarf.  don't say i'm not a world changer.  lol.  this pic is proof.  she was a quick study.

funny thing is when we came back from that trip, the team got together to watch videos of our journey.  in most of the clips, i was captured applying lipstick, tying scarves, painting the fingernails of every village child within like five hundred miles.  our team leader looked up and said 'I KNOW I WAS ON A MISSIONS TRIP.  I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE HECK YOU WERE DOING?????'  hee hee.

so it's friday.  time to tie one on.  a scarf that is ;)
