The Shoes Have Arrived

They aren't as orange as I thought they'd be but they are still marvelous.

My New Shoes

KEEN Sienna Mary Jane

 

These are my treat to myself for being down 30lbs.

I ordered them yesterday from Zappos and because that place rocks so much I should get them today.

Hopefully I like them as much in person (and on my big feet) as I do in the photos.

What I did on my day off.

Well after my Doctor Appointment yesterday I went to Old Navy and Target. Ended up getting all Sydney's summer clothes shopping done. Took a picture as a reminder to myself that she has enough clothes for summer now. NO. NEED. FOR. MORE..... Well maybe a couple more Church dresses.....

Buying clothes for mini-me is a problem I have. Since I'm not at a point in my weight loss where I want to buy a single thing for myself, I end up buying too much for the munchkin.

I made a deal with myself that since this much came into the house this equal number of things must go out! I quickly started this task this A.M. when Syd woke up. Now off to finish.

Moments of Insanity

I thought I would NEVER want another fixer upper.....

I think this house is speaking to me. It was built in 1973. It doesn't appear that they changed anything,..at least not for the better.

It's got over 2000 sq ft with a finished basement to equal 3700 sq ft.

Mark thinks I'm nuts. Here is the kicker... I think with some serious TLC we could have the space we need for cheap. It's in a great neighborhood with the house around the corner selling for 150,000 dollars MORE than this (149,000 versus 299,000 for other house)

It's ugly all the way around but never far from my mind.....because I'm insane.

I Have a Collection

I started buying olive pitchers when we lived in our old house.

 Everytime I saw one I snatched it up.

I've only got 6, but they are still some of my favorite things. All different and still the same.

The Purge

I ran out of contact solution last night. So I went to my handy back up supplies.

Still no Contact Sol'n but I did find Ck-one circa 1995. Do people still wear that? Truth is....I still like it. There were also some 5 year old plus bottles of random Ralph Lauren Scents (I buy to much of this crap.)

Anyway time to purge, purge , purge.

Oh, and my jewelry cleaner jar was in that basket and at some point turned on it's side spilling out it's toxic liquid and ruining some of my stuff. Luckily what things were ruined- 5 year old face soap I didn't like so I put away thinking maybe I'd like it later or....in a pinch, Suntan lotion from before Syd was born, bar soap (I don't use bar soap??) and etc. etc.

I think if I gonna have a back up supplies basket it should be full of......back up supplies I actually use. Don't you? I do see some deodorant back there and I do use that!!

Ew, I sprayed some Abercrombie perfume on and now I'm going to have to change, PU old perfume. Maybe it smelled that bad to begin with...
