Okay… I take it back… now I am ready for the end of summer! Bring on the cold!

I got nice shoes for $1! Woohoo! I even used an expired coupon! I love DSW. My coupon was good through Feb. 14th and after chatting with the clerk I sort of whined about how I forgot to get in the store in time to use my coupon and she was like whip it out… we can still use it. Sweet! I just love that store. Of course I want to go back and get those flip-flops decorated with swarovski crystals. I just knew it was less fun to buy flip-flops in February because I can’t wear them until July. I am taking a trip in March though… hmmm….

Which color of keds should I get for Spring?! I’m thinking that the turquoise pair is too cute!

Okay, off to make some Spring beads!

So yesterday I decided to zip by the mall… just to see if I could find anything to spend my birthday money on. (Thanks mom!) I found these awesome shoes! The best part is that they actually fit! Woohoo! Yes, I have big feet. I’m 5’10″ and my feet chime in at a whopping 10 wide or an 11, sizes which are often not in stock… at least not in the cool shoes! So when I tried on these sneakers in a 10 I was skeptical, but hey they look wide so I might be able to cram my ten toes in and yippee! I didn’t even have to cram. Shoes are always a mood lifter!

So lately my exercise has been walking my girls about 10 blocks to school in the morning and in the afternoon. In the morning I usually take a long detour home up some big hills, etc., in an effort to make it better exercise. I love doing this. I listen to my podcasts, usually This American Life which I LOVE! (Really… give it a try!) The only downside is that I have to resign myself to wearing only tennis shoes if I am going to walk this much. So I’ve been wearing my cute Converse low-tops and all is well… Recently, however, I have had to drive the girls to school so I though “Yeah! I can wear some of my other fun shoes.” Except now they are not comfortable at all! Who designed these shoes? Am I just getting old if I say I only like to wear tennis shoes now? Sigh… I think maybe I am. Oh well, thank goodness for Zappos so I can at least find some fun and fashionable sneakers for my big ol’ feet! I do love the crazy Converse styles and look I just snapped up these Puma’s. I ordered them yesterday at 5:30pm and they are already out for delivery today! Woohoo!

Does everyone else think about shoes as much as me? Probably not… heehee…
