ok seriously, whats the deal

So today is a little slow for me. So I decided to check out the blog world to see if I could find something entertaining to keep me busy. Every freakin blog is about religion and Jesus and saving yourself. What the hell? Is there some weird message for me here? I mean really...I actually do go to church, participate in activities and such. But lately I have come to start questioning things a lot. Not that this is new to me or anything, but I wish religion was cut and dry. My husband has always said I'm a closed minded person when it comes to religion. I beg to differ. I just call things how I see them and he gets mad. If you cant tell, we are from the same religion, different sects. I think there is too much politics in the church and I know that what we are being taught is from what others saw fit for us...kinda like school. Other people determine what they think you should know.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeSSwKffj9o this is a good take on how I feel about a lot of things in the church. George Carlin says it best. By no means am I anti God. I actually grew up in an atheist home and decided that was not all there is. I believe in the supernatural things. I believe in an after life. I believe in good and bad things and karma (which apparently is the work of God anyway).

I guess anyone reading this would be thinking I'm a complete nut case or totally anti religion or one fucked up Christian. I'm just venting about trying to find a blog that wasnt all about religion lol. So enjoy your day today and I'm going to find something else to do!

why wooden shoes

For hundreds of years, wooden shoes, called klompen, were worn by most Dutch people for very practical purposes. Because much of Holland lies below sea level, there are a great many areas that are marshy and damp. It is from these areas that Holland, or its real name The Netherlands, meaning “low lands,” got its name.




Long ago, the Dutch people found that wooden shoes were ideal for walking on this damp, marshy ground. These shoes kept their feet drier than leather shoes and did not get ruined from the dampness as the leather ones did. Even though these wooden shoes are somewhat noisy to walk in, they are useful for farmers working in wet fields.



Most Dutchmen wear shoes like ours today; however, there are some small villages where wooden shoes are still worn. But they are used only outdoors and are left at the farmhouse door in neat rows while their owners walk around indoors in their stocking feet.


Not that I wear them, but i have owned a pair lol. Did I mention I picked up my kissing Dutch girl lawn ornament this weekend? Ah Ha Ha! I love it. Wait until I pair that up with my sleeping Mexican boy! (My husband is a Mexican/American)
