SPT Challenge~Luck O' The Irish

This week's challenge is to show us a lucky charm. perhaps it is a piece of jewelry? or a talisman you carry in your pocket? do you have something on your desk or in your home that brings you good fortune? is it a baseball hat or a smelly old t-shirt? did someone give it to you? why is it meaningful to you? will you tell us about a time when it brought you good luck?

Another difficult challenge for me. I have been racking my brain trying to think of something I have that has brought me good luck and I have to admit I am stumped. I know there are things that I have held on to over the years but nothing inparticular sticks out in my mind. I have several things that I have kept, not becuase they are lucky things, but because that are sentimental things, so I didn't want to use any of those. I have even contimplated making something up but HAPPILY admit I am a TERRIBLE liar!

So for my LUCK O' THE IRISH challenge I am using these for my SPT...

Do I get extra credit for wearing green in my picture?

My Lucky Brand Jeans ! I know it is kind of silly, but hey, I didn't want to miss out on the challenge so this is as good as it gets. I haven't ever been extra lucky while wearing these jeans. I've never bought a winning lottery ticket while wearing these(nor have I ever bought a lottery ticket wearing any of my jeans). I've never escaped an accident while having these on. I've never stumbled across a 100 dollar bill on the ground while sporting these either.

There was a time, these were my absolute favorite pair of jeans and I would wash them over and over so I could always have them clean when I wanted to wear them(almost everday). I loved them because I got them at Costco for well under half the price I would have spent on them at a department store. I also loved them because I definitely thought these were skinny jeans. No matter how I felt I looked, if I would put these on, miraculously it seemed 10 pounds would disappear. For some reason, after I began to workout more, they didn't fit as good. I'm hoping it is because I have gained muscles and the muscles are causing them to fit differently.

Even though I haven't had great luck while wearing my Lucky jeans I feel I have great memories of things I've done and places I been while wearing these. I have worn these many times doing great things and many times doing just everday things with friends, family, my girls, with Greg. These jeans have been to NYC, to Cali, and all around Texas. They have been to many, many girl lunch dates, to movies, to malls, to visit people, on dates and double dates, carpooling, to NBA basketball games, NHL Hockey games, to rodeos, enrichment meetings, to parks and amusement parks, and all of my outings being a Mom.

As you can see my Lucky's are probably just like any other pair of jeans that any of us have. They are blue, worn, and have many miles on them. And after thinking of all I've done, the people and places I've seen in these, I will have to say maybe, just maybe, they have brought me much luck, fortune or should I say, many great blessings!
