If you’re one of the kids who already reads my blog babble, I’m sure you share in my sentiment when I state how infuriating it can be to even think of losing a furry little friend for some overpriced and down right offensive outerwear. But even more unbearable than such a cruel cop-out is suffering a loss without even as little as any explicable excuse. Coming from someone who’s been in two very recent car accidents “incidents”, I can attest that it certainly is tough out there on the road. People rarely break for each other, let alone crossing critters. So, in honor of fallen fur balls, cool car accessories, and my recovering ride, I decided to treat my tiny Toyota to a designer bumper bandage – compliments of happy2craft. Now I can look fly in my spruced up subcompact, while simultaneously reminding the road hog behind me to cruise with compassion.
If this all seems a little out of the black and blue, you can chalk it up to a delayed PTSD deal… or maybe even some early Thanksgiving thoughts. ModCloth’s Thank-a-Thon Blog Contest forced me to do a little self-reflection. And just like that, I realized how thankful I am for the people who care, the ones who will begin to, and most of all, for my every day animal encounters that keep me inspired to shop, share, dress, and drive responsibly.
