Shoes = Love

I got to spend the day with my mother today. She got her hair cut with my hair as her inspiration. It looks fabulous! We went shoe shopping as well. I love shoes! :) There is nothing better than a sexy heal to make you feel tall and confident and empowered. I believe the last time I counted I had over 100 pairs of shoes. Yikes no wonder Shane wants me to down size. Sorry to say but No Way! Isn't it amazing how shoes can change an outfit, a mood, an experience.

“Funny that a pair of really nice shoes makes us feel good in our heads — at the extreme opposite end of our bodies.” -Levende Waters

“Aidan: Don’t take this the wrong way, but this place could use a little work.
Carrie: I know, but I can’t afford it.
Aidan: You’ve got eight thousand bucks worth of shoes over there.
Carrie: I needed those!” -Sex and the City

“I’ve spent $40,000 on shoes and I have no place to live? I will literally be the old woman who lived in her shoes!” -Sex and the City

Among the day of shopping I had the best sandwich ever! At Cosi's they have the Turkey and Stuffing sandwich. It has cranberry on it too. It was like having Thanksgiving dinner. My mom and I also split the Bread Pudding. Mmmmm!

Ok I know I might be getting excited a bit too soon but I can't wait for Christmas! I bought Leann Rimes Christmas CD today. YAY! It's just around the corner. Shane says I have to wait to put the tree up. Ok we'll do it his way... but as soon as Thanksgiving is over it's going up! :) I'm trying to find the perfect "First Christmas" ornament. We have had Christmas together before but this will be our first as a married couple. I haven't found anything that is just right yet. I still have time though. What a day shoes shopping, good food, and Christmas music... now that's a Saturday to remember!

Harry and David is one of my favorite places. It's nice that there is one in the Dells. I just have to say that the Raspberry Galettes are the BEST! If you have never tried these cookies you are missing out. Everyone should try them!

1st Blog

Ah my first blog. Woohoo! The last two weeks have been really hard. I have been dealing with a close family friend's death, health issues, and an insane week at work. It was nice to be home this weekend. You think I would have been happy to relax but I didn't. :) I decided it was a good time to rearrange everything. *deep breath* I tend to get an idea in my head and can't stop until I finish, even if it burns me out. It took me about 3 hours to move a shelf 10 feet. I smashed my head on a different shelf, banged my knee twice, scraped my finger, and bruised my pinkie. Lol! It's looking good. I also got to take out some of our wedding gifts we hadn't used yet. That was fun! Shane got to come home to me singing and dancing around the room. Hehe! Today was actually a nice and relaxing day (even though I was anxious). I got to spend time with my family at my brother-in-law's surprise party. Then I spent time with my sister working on music. Over all it was a much better weekend.
