Sounds like a country song right? Well, in fact, it is. The point is how are you living your life? More on this later.<\/p>\n
Yesterday Jag and I took off for Denver around 8:30 am in search of a suit for Prom. We first stopped at the mall and hit a few stores and finally ended up at Nordstrom where we managed to get him a Hugo Boss coat and a nice pair of pants and a white shirt. He picked out a tie and a pocket square in grey to match. All should be ready by next weekend. Hope it lasts more than 3 months but I doubt it. I won’t even go into the cost as it’d give you all a heart attack as it almost did me!<\/p>\n
We also found Jag a new pair of jeans and a shirt he wanted and then stopped by a store where I get clothes as I had a pair of shoes on hold. His jeans are white with rips on them and look just like Balmain jeans from Paris which, are you ready for this, sell for $1500 a pair at stores like Neiman Marcus, Saks and Barney’s of New York! Now first off, $1500, are you kidding me? I don’t get the ripped jeans thing but then I’m sure my parents didn’t get the bell bottom look either. Anyhow we found the exact same jeans for a few hundred bucks at another store. Don’t get me wrong a couple hundred bucks is still a lot for jeans, especially ripped ones, but in fact, Lori’s and Jag’s non ripped jeans all cost about $180 now anyhow. Personally I get mine at the cowboy shop for a mere $35. So Jag saw these and really wanted them so I bought them, along with a faded jean shirt he could layer over his t-shirt, as that’s what dad’s do. The young clerk told Jag what a cool dad he had, ha. It must be the “in” look as the manager at my men’s store, which is very chic and high end, told Jag how great and cool he looked. Throw in picking up a package a Neiman Marcus for my Mom and exchanging Ty’s Casio watch and we ended up at my Mom’s by 2pm. We visited for 30 minutes and then headed up the hill. Jag fell asleep for the ride home and we arrived by about 4pm. I then bbq’d some steaks and ribs for dinner.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Lori went for a hike and her and Francesa happened upon a mother moose and her calf. Luckily they took a quick picture and backed away slowly without incident. They had a good two hour hike up Meadow Mountain and were done around noon. Then she started cleaning the house while Ty did some homework.<\/p>\n
Now to the title of today’s post. Driving up I was listening to a country station on the radio and one song was Live Like You Were Dying. On the surface, people will say, “yea, I do”, but do you really? I don’t remember all the lyrics but they centered around doing things you never thought of doing because you found out you were soon dying. I know, I know, it’s a country song but anyhow, it went on about being a friend that a everyone would like to have as a friend, forgiving people for things you’d never consider forgiving them for, being a little nicer to everyone than you’ve ever been before and more. Hopefully you get the point. If you don’t, just think about the title. If you knew you were dying in let’s say a month or a year, how would you change the way you live? I’ll bet everyone of us would be a different person, right? And hopefully the person we would all become would be a better person than who we are now. Anyhow just something to think about as you never know what tomorrow will bring. I’ll try to find a happier country song for tomorrow!<\/p>\n
Have a great Sunday and God Bless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
