New Boots!

They finally came! UPS driver didn't look to happy though...go figure. Just kidding. I'm sure I wouldn't be happy driving a big ol' cold truck around town today during an all day snow and well below freezing weather event. But he still brought them to me and I'm a happy camper! They're even cuter than the picture online! I'll have to get a picture of them and add them to this blog. They're called fur moccasin boots. They're black and furry with pom pom ties and some beading on the toe and around the front rim of the boot. Unhappy and freezing UPS guy rang the bell right at dinner time and I ran for the boots. I put them on before I ever sat down to eat. It's amazing how happy shoes can make a girl! I've been smiling all night :)

For My Brother

My baby brother, who is no longer a baby, left last week for Navy boot camp. He's at the same location as my sister who left in November.

Tomorrow is her graduation, and we hope we get to see him too.

Before he left, he requested a picture of my heels for motivation. Are you thinking - what the heck? How is that motivation? Let me tell you.

When they purposely teased me, I would take off a shoe, chase them around the house and smack them with it. I got a lot of good hits in too! Always though, the shoes I used were flats, but I made sure they had a floppy sole for maximum flicking.

I guess he thought the spikes would be an even bigger incentive.

Instead of just sending giving him a picture of my shoes though, I dressed it up a little for him. I've got an old frame I'm not using, so he can hang it if he wants. I hope I can give it to him in person on Thursday or Friday, but if not, I hope I can leave it for him. Most of all, I hope it brightens his time there.

I'm Getting Spoiled!

Last month I posted an Indian choker I got when we visited our son at scout camp. I wished I'd gotten both chokers that day, but I only got one, the black one. Well, guess what I found at Jamestown! A white choker! Yay me! I saw they had bracelets too, and I didn't want to make the same mistake twice, so I grabbed a bracelet too. As you can see, it's black and white, I figure I can wear it with either choker :) And tonight I picked up NEW SHOES! I've been looking for new shoes for a while now, but just haven't found anything to float my boat - I wanted skinny heels, and I didn't want to pay a ton for them either! We were walking around the mall near my in-law's house and I stopped to drool over the shoes in the window, then I realized that some of the shoes were marked really well! I tried a couple, and settled on these. The girl told me they were $20. It wasn't as good as $10 like some of the other ones, but still, they were cute and what I've been looking for! I got up to the register and she told me they were actually $10, and I was in heaven! And, as any good shoe lover will do, I'm wearing them now...as I type...just because I can, and I like to look at them :) Aren't they cute! I saw other things in the store that I really liked too, but I refrained! But I think this is one of my new favorite stores! It's called Body Central, I'll be checking to see if there's one near me!
