Women and Their Love of Shoes

Monday, May 21st, 2012

One of my passion’s is shoes. Like most women I do enjoy wearing the latest footwear fashions. My closet is over flowing with shoes, some dating back to my teen age years. Back then I wasn’t happy unless I got at least one new pairs of shoes a week, whether it was from using my allowance, or my mother’s charge card, and later after I started working part time after school and some summers. I just can’t bring myself to toss any of them in the trash, because as we all know, everything that’s old is new again at some point. Besides you can never have too many shoes!

This year the Roman/Gladiator style ladies sandals  are very popular. I have to be honest I really didn’t like the look of them when I first started seeing the television commercials advertising them, but the more that I see them, and they are seeming to be every where, I now think that I am ready to purchase a pair to wear this summer with some of the sun dresses that I have found and love wearing. Since I look for the best deals possible, I took the time last night to hunt around online and see what I could find. It didn’t take long to find a site that offers free shipping on all domestic orders of $59.88 and over, I could afford to get several pairs that way. At www.housershoes.com they have tons of ladies boots, shoes, sandals and of course lots of footwear for kids and men as well.

Since my 40th birthday is coming up in a few short months, my sister has already decided that for the big birthday celebration in honor of my 40th year on this earth that she is going to order and furnish the birthday cake that she will make sure will have at least one pair of shoes on it, much like this cake posted down below. I think she is pulling my leg (excuse the pun) but if she manages to pull it off I can’t imagine a more fitting birthday cake.

A Day for Me

Sunday, May 13th, 2012

This has been a really nice Mother’s Day. I had several glorious hours to myself this afternoon and I took full advantage of them.

Dinner was a strange combination of things that I like and felt like cooking. And I’ll watch TV until it’s time to hit the sack and get ready for another work week.

It’s been great so far. Happy Mother’s Day to all my friends who are mothers!

This Year’s Mother’s Day Present

Sunday, May 6th, 2012

Been looking at tv stands today online on my handy dandy new laptop. I need to come up with a Mother’s Day present and am having the worst time of it this year. The only thing that I can think of that my mother really needs is a new tv stand. I know it isn’t a typical Mother’s Day present, but there is nothing typical about any member in my family these days and I’ll be darned if I’m going to spend my hard earned money on something like flowers that will be dead in a few days and then tossed in the trash.

My Late Night Sweet Tooth

Monday, April 30th, 2012

I don’t know what got over me at the grocery store the other night. I spent way too money and came home with a ton of chocolates. There isn’t a piece of chocolate in this house and I have been craving chocolate each night the past week, which I haven’t been able to produce to satisfy that driving craving that hits you late at night, when you are too tired to go out anywhere to get what you are so wanting.

It has been a couple of months since the Christmas holidays have come and gone. Along with it went all the Christmas goodies that end up in the house that time of year. Cakes, pies, cookies, candies, chocolates and all the wonderful deserts that people make during that festive holiday season. The house is back to normal (or as normal as it will ever be) and there isn’t a trace of last year’s festivities and summer is on it’s way!

When I went grocery shopping they were having a massive sale on their chocolates and I couldn’t make up my mind on which ones to get so I went a little crazy and bought a bunch of different kinds, just in case. I now have a good sized bowl in the kitchen filled with a nice variety of chocolates that should keep my night time cravings in check for a few months.

Florida Here We Come

Sunday, April 22nd, 2012

How can I say no to my parents that are offering my brother and I a week’s get-a-way with them to Orlando, Florida this up and coming July. It will be interesting to go somewhere, just the four of us, much like back in the day when we were all so much younger.  Apparently our folks found a great Orlando vacation package at homes.orlandovacation.com that they just couldn’t pass up and it looks like we will be heading down to the land of sunshine and Disney Land in less then 100 days. Now how cool is that?
