Transitions

I'm setting up a new computer in my office. My old one was running low on "Ooomph" that I needed to get things done. It could do the everyday stuff, but it was really working hard in terms of the remote work for my agency and I decided that it needed to go to a home that wouldn't ask so much of it.

I have my new system up and running, but it's going to take a few days to get all the programs installed and since the laptop I'm test driving doesn't have photo editing software on it, I can't edit any new photos. Normally, this would be a relief, but I'm kind of at a loss knowing I CAN'T photoshop anything right now!

So above is a shot I took at Blogfest last year. I love seeing everyone's shoes! I have ordered a new pair of Blogfest sandals. Last year, my new sandals didn't arrive on time. This year, I'm thinking ahead!

Speaking of Blog Fest, I can't believe this year's edition is only 2 weeks away (more or less)! I'm excited to hop back on a plane with the Baroness and see all our blisters in Virginia! And frankly, I could use a bit of a getaway...

Thanks for all your lovely comments about Buddy Boy yesterday. I cringe at the thought of him being an indoor cat. Not that I don't love him, but his sister Bad Girl is the indoor cat. And he beats the crap out of her every time he sees her. And they're on different levels... She chases and kills bugs in the yard, he chases and kills varmints in the woods. She doesn't have a chance when he decides to whip up on her. It's the least attractive aspect to his charactor. He can be a stinker. And... 2/3 of the Brute Squad thinks he's the devil. If it was just Buddy Boy and Maddie, things would work out, but throw a mild mannered cat and two hysterical Chihuahuas into the mix, and it would be total mayhem.

Time to throw some clothes on and go to work... This is tech work slam week. Yawn!

AG out!

More, more, more!

Can there ever be too much of a good thing?

I guess you could have too much fun at the pub...

or too many Chihuahuas (hello!!!)

or even o.d. on the smell of your grandson's head...

Okay, strike that last one! You absolutely cannot get enough of the smell of a baby's head. Although two weekends ago it smelled like ketchup during the football game. K1 and I could not figure it out...

But here's the thing? can you ever have too many of these?

Black Keens....

Yes... I have a few pairs...

But this new pair.... they hit all my criteria!

  1. On sale!
  2. Online! 
  3. Black
  4. Keens
  5. Free Shipping!

If you want a pair... they're at Sierra Trading Post. Order a half size larger. And they're narrow too. Even with a half size larger, socks might not work out!

Challenged...

In a week, I'll be climbing on a plane with The Baroness and winging my way to Virginia to attend BlogFest.

I'm not excited or anything. Today I bought these sandals online...

I was going to buy them last month but I spent my shoe money on a new lens. Actually I spent the next two years of shoe money on this lens... but these were on sale so I bought them anyway. Naughty!

I'd like to be getting the suitcases down to pack, but I've got so much to do right now, really all I can do is look at the suitcase...

This morning I'm driving my Dad and my step mom to the airport at 5:30am. They're off to Texas for a few days. Then I have to wash my face and take off to pick up food as Thursday is also staff meeting day. Thursday night, iMom is coming over to get her hair done.

So maybe this weekend I can start strategizing about which case to take. I've never, ever packed light but I always think "this time for sure".

Anyone else have any tips on packing light? I think I might need the big case just for my sandals and inhalers. And I'm pondering bringing Guido, the laptop... But I'd have to figure out reception.

Okay, enough blather... Gotta hit the road.

Asthmagirl out!

Fetish

Yes, I have a problem. It's taking over my feet.

Keens...

I wore them all winter. Remember these?

Yes... I wore them all winter. And I wore my Keen sandals all summer and fall.

So when I wore my hiking boots a couple weeks ago my feet rebelled. My pinky toes looked like little raspberries for the next two days. My hiking boots are not Keens and my feet could tell.

Actually, I should say that my hiking boots were not Keens. Cuz baby... They are now!!! Say hello to my new bedroom slippers hiking boots... Girls!

Aren't they sexy? And they're mine! All mine!

Even better... I ordered them on line on Monday at lunch last week. They were delivered to my office 23 hours later! Seriously.

Oh, and better than that? 15% off!

Let's sum up...

  • Addicted to Keens
  • Sexy new boots
  • Bought online
  • Insanely fast delivery
  • More comfortable than bedroom slippers
  • Less than full price

I rest my case!
