<br />
Green is my favorite color, Christmas my favorite holiday, and nail polish is one of my favorite things. Sometimes, something as simple as a new nail polish can change your whole mood.<br />
<br />
I love this color! I'm worn it twice already, once for St. Patrick's Day (my 2nd favorite holiday) and then again for Baylor homecoming in November. I'm sure it'll make an appearance for christmas too.<br />
<br />
I'm kind of obsessed with nail polishes! I don't kave a huge collection, but I do have bi weekly appointments and I studt uo on the colors and trends. (I love the names) So, the fact that a shade gets worn more than once means its kind of awesome!<br />
<br />
Don't mess with OPI will definitely make it into my collection. So find some colors you love, and remember to rock them while you're glossy and on the go!<br />

This blog is angry. Hopefully, the angriest I ever have to be here. On Tuesday, the US Congress was presented with an opportunityto ratify the UN treaty on the Rights of Disabled Persons, a treaty based on existing US law and unenforceable in any court. A symbolic gesture that says, The United States of America believes that persons with disabilities are entitled to basic human rights, Only...We DON'T!!! Congress voted not to ratify the treaty. Did I mention its based on US law and not enforceable? Despite these facts, those who voted against it said they feared for US sovereignty.<br />
<br />
Please, don't misunderstand, I love my country. I come from a family of service members, both my grandfathers were veterans and my cousin was even Naval sailor of the year. I'm fully aware of the fact that I wouldn't have the same quality of life in most other places on the planet, but really? Failing to ratify a symbolic treaty just because it has UN in the title? I'm going to borrow a line from my Brit friends here and say...bollocks!<br />
<br />
Understand, I have roughly $100,000 dollars worth of Political Science education. I've heard this fear of a one world government stuff before. I don't pretend to understand it, but I've heard it. To use this as an excuse not to stand up for the basic human rights, not civic or legal protections, but human rights of 54 million of your own citizens, 1 in 5 Americans is well...bullshit!<br />
<br />
I'm an American and more times than not I'm proud of this. I've had access to a world class education and quality health care. In my life exists a level of inclusion and participation that does not exist for disabled persons in may places. That said, I do still struggle, with employment as well as accessible and affordable housing and transportation. All of these things could be addressed through legislation. Yet, my government has decided I'm not entitled to basic human rights....you know? The ones given to me from my creator....Thanks guys, love you too!<br />
<br />
Normally, I'm not the type of person to go around screaming about laws and rights. Normally, I live my life overcoming obstacles as I encounter them. I participate in and encourage people to participate in our system of government. The fact that my own government can't make a symbolic gesture on my behalf as I continue to struggle to be a productive and contributing citizen makes me angry and sad...So I decided to say so.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that every person who voted against ratifying the treaty was a member of the GOP. I don't say this to be partisan, simply as fact. They voted against the rights of people who most probably voted for them....because of a headquarters being in Geneva? Not all of them did of course, kudos to John McCain, but the fact that everyone who did is from the same party speaks volumes and will not be forgotten on my next trip to the ballot box. Most pitiful of all , Bob Dole was there, decorated WWII veteran, esteemed US senator and one time Presidential candidate and leader of the GOP, in a wheelchair to support ratification. The person who took over his seat voted no...right in front of him...I hope he feels shame!Lipgloss on Wheelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00313122316162309066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711766786855814315.post-68218773419927260412012-12-06T14:34:00.000-06:002012-12-06T14:34:23.556-06:00Wed. Wisdom<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"D</span>on't judge a book by its cover"<br />
<br />
This is essentially what I intend this blog to be. A book with a very plain cover can end up being the best book you've ever read. (Classic Brit lit, anyone?) This is true of people as well. You may see the different, the wheelchair or the walker and think that this person can't possibly be interesting or...gasp...have anything in common with you. You, are missing so much my friend. While I do know some people with disabilities who use it as a crutch, as an excuse to be cold or unengaged. Most, are the polar opposite and desire nothing more than a fully experienced and engaged life. Full of the same hopes, dreams, desires and yes, problems and fears of everyone else.<br />
<br />
I'm blessed to have grown up in a generation where people with disabilities weren't hidden away in the background. I went to public schools, restaruants, vacations, and away from home to college. Anyone who saw me saw the walker or the wheelchair too....Guess what? Most everyone learns to deal! I have no idea what my life would be like if I weren't disabled, its all I've ever known, but I do know that at various points in my life I've come across amazing people who've accepted me as a person from the first instant. I feel beyond blessed for these people and the level of inclusion they've allowed me to feel in my life.<br />
<br />
People are people. So don't be afraid to say hello. You may just find your new lipgloss, ready to wear, sports loving new best friend.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I plan on using the Tuesday blog spot for guest
bloggers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want it to be a spot where the
people in my life can share about their experiences. Not that having me in your
life is so overwhelmingly amazing (Come on, you know it is!), but perhaps
you’ve learned thought about, or experienced something through our relationship
(what have you taken away?) that deserves to be shared…this is the place.</span></div>

about the impact my disability has had or not had on their lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All truth, no edits from me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know their stories will impact someone and
help me tell the truth I’d like to tell from another perspective. Some people
I’ve asked have already said yes and I’m so excited to see what they have to
say! One person I’d love to write, because I think our friendship gets to the
heart of what I’m trying to say would never in a million years.(I’ll keep
working on him, I’ve been told I’m charming)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Remember what I said about people being more than what you
first think or see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, today is about
explaining that just a bit more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may
think as a young woman with a physical disability in a wheelchair that I’m
plain, sickly, unkempt, and boring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Trust me when I tell you that though I might not be a great beauty I’m
none of these things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m very girly and
I love beauty and fashion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Recently, I
discovered, though I’m sure it’s not a surprise to some people, that I’m much higher

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>In an effort to dispel misconceptions I’m going to tell you
about one of my favorite places…</strong><a href="http://www.salondavid.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Salon David Escape Spa</strong></a><strong>! Yep, you read right, my salon is one
of my favorite places.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m sure that
sounds vain, but the simple truth is it’s not. I’m a girl like any other
girl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Which means, and I’m not trying to stereotype
here, I like to feel pretty and I think sometimes I deserve to feel that way!</strong></span></div>
<strong>
</strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yesterday evening at the bus stop an older lady asked me,
“Should we go ahead of you on the bus?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
in she actually asked me. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Words out of my mouth: “Sure, go ahead. He seems to be
letting everyone else on first.”</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thought in my head: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Why
yes. Please. Absolutely! It’s always so polite when people step in front of the
girl in the wheelchair just to get on the bus first.” (Insert heavy sarcasm)</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Real Truth: It is NEVER okay to step in front of a disabled
person just to get on the bus first. Especially when you are “able bodied”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, its rude, self absorbed and just
plain tacky, the kind of thing Karma tends to pay people back for.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Truth in Law: if you are a disabled person using public
transit the ADA states that you are allowed to i.e. suppose to go first. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just please don’t be rude about it yourself.

Before I thought of his family or the aliments he fought in recent years, before I even thought, "I wonder how many people know he was in I dream of Jeanie." I immediately thought of my own grandma and Fridays watching "Dallas" at her house.<br />
<br />
You see, at that point in my childhood my grandparent's house was a respite from the tense environment created from my parent's again failing marriage (it failed twice). My grandpa would pick me up from school on Fridays and I didn't have to go back until Sunday after dinner. My grandma would come home from work and make the most awesome and grandma like dinner and then we would watch "Dallas". It was what we did and if ratings are to be believed it was what most people did. As a kid, I remember I liked Bobby best, he was the nice one. Of course, now that I'm grown I understand the appeal of JR so much more. I wonder why I can't like the nice boys now? Funnily enough, I don't remember my grandma ever saying which one she liked best, but I can guess. Once the show was over, I would go to sleep in a house that somehow felt warmer and safer and which was most definitely calmer, certain to wake up to the most awesome Saturday breakfasts ever! We're talking cheese in the scrambled eggs good!<br />
<br />
The immediateness of this memory got me thinking about memories and what triggers them. Admittedly this one was a bit random, but having lost a handful of loved ones over recent years I'm beginning to thing that is how memories, especially of loved ones work. Its a song, a smell, a certain food or quote, a holiday, or the random moment when something hits a bit too hard and you wish you could talk to that particular loved one about it. Often times, these memories take your equilibrium for a bit. For me personally though, I am grateful for them.<br />
<br />
So, Mr Hagman, I wish you peace and rest. A generation thanks you for the drama and I thank you for the reminder of peace in the midst of the storm .Lipgloss on Wheelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00313122316162309066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711766786855814315.post-47940514993796430052012-11-21T11:47:00.000-06:002012-11-21T11:47:09.995-06:00Remember what I said about the absurd<span style="color: #783f04;">I endeavor for this blog to tell the truth....for now its just my truth, but I hope it brings light to some things. Today's post will not.</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;">Remember, when I said my life was sprinkled with the absurd? Case in point, yesterday I'm waiting at the bus stop to go home and a bird poops right on me....yep, splat right on my jeans. There's nothing but absurdity to this.</span>Lipgloss on Wheelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00313122316162309066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711766786855814315.post-47395564002749171912012-11-20T16:25:00.000-06:002012-11-20T16:25:39.215-06:00New Adventures<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, Its time again for yet another change in my life. I've been thinking about doing this blog for some time now. I find myself with so spare time now so I thought why not. I'm not quite sure what its going to be just yet, except that it is going to be about my life. The things I love and the things I don't. Its going to be be funny and sad and since its my life, I'm sure it'll have good measure of the ironic and absurd!</span><br />
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: Arial;">I hope that its honest and serves to tell my unique truth. I hope it brings somethings to light and makes you laugh. Mostly I hope that at some point something will touch your heart.</span>Lipgloss on Wheelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00313122316162309066noreply@blogger.com0
