Still Alive

Hay-lo!  I am still here.  Alive and breathing.  Working a lot.  Too much?  

But now, another vacation.  Six whole days away from work, away from home, spending time with distant friends.  I'm very excited.  

And get this...we have no plans.  We have a sketch of plans, but nothing set.  And I'm excited about that.  Six whole days to wander, explore, ponder.

And visit Trader Joes!  I'm also very excited about that.

Silver Shoes

My new silver ballet flats with embroidered stars, courtesy of Payless.

After getting home  yesterday, I realized that Heather and I have a thing for silver ballet flats.  This is my second pair, the first pair given to me by Heather.  And click HERE for a photo of her new pair.  I would've owned the ones she owns, but Target didn't have them in my size, so I settled for a pair of black patent leather, which I do adore.

And, if I could, I'd buy these bad boys, also from Payless.

 Aren't they divine?  But, my feet swell pretty bad in the summer, and to keep the swelling down, I have to wear confining shoes.  Oh well.  No pedicures or sexy sandals for me.  My life is a true hardship.
