I can't stop listening to this...

It's fabulous

shout out

to my faithful reader in Chambersburg PA! I don't have any idea who you are, but I see you reading all the time. I'm glad there is something here that keeps you coming back, whatever that may be.

Also, a big hello to my European reader who googles me by (blog) name.

I'm so humbled that you guys are reading (whoever you are) that I thought you deserved your own post!

(Also, I am trying to avoid going to sleep, because if I stay awake it's still the weekend, but if I go to sleep, it's Monday... booo...)

ugh

Online dating sites are a complete waste of time and money. The Mormony ones especially make me a bit nauseous. I don't want to check a box that qualifies my church attendance (although I did giggle at one that said "I go as long as it's after 9:00"). I feel like all of the guys on there are soooooooo old. Ones screenname was "Newwidower". And then there is the man with the handlebar mustache... Not sexy... I don't want you to "wink" at me. Oh and this statement is a real winner too "I was looking for a new cell phone. Just got that, now I'm looking for a wife". *Gag* Maybe I'll just buy another cat.

I have the best parents in the world. That is all.

A wise woman once said "Shoes are like girlfriends... you can never have too many". Which is great cause I have tons and tons of shoes. I thought this was a fun meme, and since I am incapable of creating posts that aren't about dating or puke I figured I would go for it.

These are a great old standby. I got them about four years ago when we went into the city for one of those single mingle conference things. During the day we did a hardcore service project cleaning trash out of fields in North Philly. I brought clothes to change into before the formal dinner/dance later that night but realized I didn't pack shoes-- I only had my filthy sneakers. I wandered around University City until I stumbled into a little hole in the wall shoe place and bought these for around 19 bucks. They are so fun (although even after all of these years I haven't *QUITE* got the hang of walking on the kitten heel). These were new this past year. They are actually Jessica Simpson; believe it or not her line has some pretty fab shoes. I usually wear them with jeans to get into "hot mom" mode.

I've had these forever too. They are kind of furry. My sister and I both bought a pair on a marathon shopping trip to my favorite store in the world (whose name sadly escapes me currently... what the heck??? that big store in the Gallery Mall.... the discount department store.... what the heck? I'm having a senior moment... sorry).

BURLINGTON COAT FACTORY! Whew! That's it.

These are from Target. I love to wear red, white and blue. These are from Kohl's. Cute with black tights.

You wouldn't think you could combine snake skin, tweed and embroidery and have it look remotely cute, but somehow these shoes do it. When my mom, sister and I were shopping at the outlets last year, I saw these and drooled over them but decided I couldn't afford them. My mom and my sister ended up seeing them the next day at the outlets in Lancaster and surprised me by getting them for me. I know what you are thinking. "Lisa, these shoes are all fabulous, but come on now. You're a soccer mom and you teach autistic kindergarteners. You're not strapping on stilettos everyday!"

True.

Here's a random smattering of what I wear to work about 75% of the time. These colored slip on shoes come in a variety of colors. I usually am wearing boring khakis or black pants so I try to choose a shoe that coordinates with my shirt. Most were bought from Target for 6-12 bucks, so when they eventually give up the ghost it's no big deal.

Last but not least, you can't go wrong with some pink paisley Chuck's.

Show me your shoes!

=)

Tee hee...
