Women and Their Love of Shoes

Donna — Tue, 22 May 2012 01:08:16 +0000

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.

Dogs and Footwear

Today seems to be all about dogs and footwear, LOL! I just now discovered that not only did Scooter destroy my work boots but he also managed to chew up my ash bowie sneakers that I just got for Christmas. I’ve never owned any wedge sneaker heels and always wanted a pair so my older sister was nice enough to buy me a pair that she found online for my Christmas present just 5 months ago.

I don’t think that I have the guts to tell her what happened to them, she isn’t all that crazy about dogs anyway and this would just really tick her off. So not only do I have to find new work boots but I have to find a new pair of these wonderful wedge sneakers that I can get to replace and hopefully keep the peace in the family. Looks like I have my work cut out for me tomorrow inside on the computer. Oh well, it’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow, so I’m glad that we got to enjoy the good weather day today.

Atomic Dog

Speaking of dogs, my first dog I named Atomic Dog after this song. Haven’t listened to this song in many years. It used to bring down after my beloved Atomic was put down at the ripe old age of 13 years. But I’m glad that I gave it another listen, it brings back some awesome memories and has a really great funky beat. Thanks YouTube.com, once again, you’ve made my day.

New Red Wing Boots Thanks to Scooter

Donna — Sun, 20 May 2012 01:21:27 +0000

Looks like I’m going to have to buy another pair of women’s red wing boots, since Scooter (our dog) decided that he didn’t appreciate being left alone in the house this afternoon while we all enjoyed a nice picnic with several family members outside with this beautiful weather that we have been blessed with this weekend. Scooter has never done anything like this before, usually I let him outside with us but for some reason that didn’t happen and now I’ve got to find some new work boots and fast.

If I can get hubby off of his favorite site on the computer called “put this on” I might be able to find a pair and get them ordered in a timely fashion with some of the money that I have left from this week’s paycheck. Having to use this money to replace my boots will certainly take away from my lunch money for the next two weeks. Looks like I’ll be packing home made lunches for a while, sigh.

Girl Games, It’s About Time

Donna — Sat, 12 May 2012 00:52:10 +0000

I am so happy to say that girl games have gone a long way since my 22 year old niece was a little girl looking for girl games to play on the computer. Of course that was all most twenty years ago, but you have to understand that girls were just as active on computers back then and had only a few actually girl games for the large number of females that were looking for entertainment just as much as the guys were. I don’t know what they would have done without the few Disney games that had come out by then. I remember how much she loved playing The Lion King back then, but then I’m sure a lot of young guys were playing it back then as well.

These days there are tons of girl games available to today’s generation of young girls. One such site that has a grand selection to offer is easy girl games. Everything from kissing games, Barbie games, cooking games, make over games, to celebrity dress up games. Not only do they have games to play but they have tips and articles that are targeting the female population for them to read and use as well, so it isn’t only games that they have there, which I think is pretty darn cool.

Let’s hear it for “Girl Power” – Remember The Spice Girls?

Florida Here We Come

Donna — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 01:40:30 +0000

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?

Home Maintenance Tasks

Donna — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 01:16:20 +0000

Since it turned out to be a cold rainy day today I spent my Sunday doing paper work and some research online. I found a good site that sells good quality water pumps that I have bookmarked until I can get my dad over here to see what he thinks. It would be so much easier if he would only consent to learn how to use the Internet, sending him the link to the site and the particular pump would be a piece of cake compared to having to wait until he has the time to get over this part of town. But without his expertise on so many home maintenance I’d really be up a creek.

A Different Perspective

Just a cute pic that really cracked me up today. I really enjoy all the great pictures that are floating all around the World Wide Web these days. Facebook is filling up people’s Wall’s with so many great photos as well.

A Different Perspective – for sure….

My Skin

Donna — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:15:59 +0000

As a middle aged woman I am concerned with how my skin is aging, especially the skin on my face. So I am always on the look out for information about new procedures, treatments and products that may help me with my skin concerns. I really enjoyed reading the information that I found at http://www.tanda.com, which is where I found this interesting infographic that I wanted to share here with you today.

A Good Kid

Donna — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 21:02:05 +0000

It looks like I’ll be seeing what I can find online by way of University of Alabama shirts to send to my nephew for his 17th birthday. He is so excited about attending the University of Alabama next year when he is all said and done with graduating high school in a short few months. In order to keep the excitement alive in him I thought that he would appreciate some Alabama apparel for him to sport as this year’s birthday gift.

It will be different around here when he leaves in the Fall, he is the last of boys in family that are still around. The remaining minor children in the family are all female, not that I have a problem with that mind you. It is just strange how things have shifted throughout the years from guys being the majority for so long and how it has gradually turned female.

He is a good kid, gave his mom, my kid sister, a hard time for a few years, but he has managed to pull it together, getting better grades and cut way back on his partying lifestyle that can really ruin a kid. So I’m so glad that he managed to turn it all around and will be heading out for college in less than 5 months.
