He Watched Sarah Palin in Those Red Stilletos August 31, 2008
The political world stood quiet for a second as a pair of red stilletos came walking out on stage. John McCain, the Republican candidate for Presidency announced his running mate, Sarah Palin.
This little know politician from Alaska described herself a hockey mom. Wearing a classic black politician look, she may be going for the average political look exceptthat her Appepaza Musa red pumps caught my eye. With that outfit you would not know that she goes hunting with a rifle and camos to chase after Alaskan Moose. This is one of the reasons why my husband thinks he likes this 44 year old lady. The reason why I like her is that she just had a baby ten months ago. I imagine her in the labor room talking to herself “Okay, let’s have this baby, let’s slim down quick, shoot a moose, do a video with my machine gun, and run for vice-president”. Seriously though, her candidacy is a refreshing change to the political face. She was a beauty queen by the way. Although, she is not just running to pretty up the Republican ticket, I’m sure she’ll bring her experience and savvy to the campaign. Don’t get me wrong though, I am not campaigning for her. I just keep thinking of those red shoes. You know how you get your mind so wrapped up about something that you just have to look it up at wiki or look through the rose colored goggles–the search engine with a PR10. This I did. Plus blog about it a little. When my husband’s mind gets wrapped up in something, like this infatuation of his to the idea that Sarah Palin hunts, he wanders off to the woods in his daydreams.
That said, I guess I headed off to a shoe store somewhere to look for a cheaper similiar not quite as high heels.
Shoe Fetish August 30, 2008
Mixed News
The number of shoes a woman wears in a lifetime averages about 30. Some exceed this number, some are stil trying to achieve this number goal. Thirty is little compared to the famous Imeldific collection. But then she’s not as average as most of us. And thirty is a lot to those of us who prefer to go barefoot.
The average number of hours for chores goes up to 28 per week. This is mostly done by a woman. That’s 28 divided by 7 = 4 hours. That is not counting bathing, feeding, entertaining and reading to the kids. Now that I think of it, something does not add up. Seven hours of sleep, 6 hours of feeding the baby (breastfeeding takes time), 3 hours of playing with the kids, 3 hours on the computer and 4 hours chores–that’s 23 hours! That leaves me with an hour to brush my teeth, take a quick shower, brush my hair and clean my nail–paint it if I have time. After realizing this, it amazes me how a working mom is gifted with time management skills.
The average number of children per household is 1.9. Well, this is a questionable fact. Whoever thought of having a 0.9 child? It’s either 0 or 1, but I was sleeping in Stat classes, I would not know. Let’s say for common sense sake 1 or 2 kids per family. These kids are mostly under the mom’s care–except for some housebands.
US Current Population Survey report that the self-employed female skyrocketed 74% from 1975 to 1990. That’s less than 20 years ago. The representation of women in the labor force is still soaring. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that by the end of 2008, women will claim 59 percent of the labor participation.
Women by the Numbers
153.6 million women in the US.
82.8 mothers
6.5 female owned company
65 percent voters
59 percent women workers
84 percent women used their computers at home
36 million women volunteered for free
And in a few months we will know if Sarah Palin will be the first female Vice-President running for the Republican Party.
It is astonishing to see the significant contribution of a woman. Like the many shoes she may own for a lifetime, she will step into the many roles given to her. Running shoes for catching up to the fast growth of her children, flip flops for keeping up with the order of the home, leather shoes for earning an income for the household, clogs for gathering the harvest for the dinner table–it’s buying the food staples and creatively turning it into a gourmet meal, basically, leather boots for her positive answer to her innate call of volunterism, and stilettos for her husband.
How many shoes do you own?
