I Finally Found Them!

These are the shoes I will be wearing, officially, for Rick & Dana's wedding!!!




These are the shoes that might find their way on to my little feetsies after the ceremony...

This is a book I found, along with my big book of crossword puzzles, at TJ MAXX, and I'm enjoying it. It talks about how each person has their own method to solving puzzles, on and off the paper... I will have to blog more about this later, as I don't have the book with me, and haven't read much of it yet.

I have to do my crosswords in blue, finepoint pen. I have to have the solution available, but stubbornly do not look unless I am completely stuck. I won't use the internet to find the information, I try to find it within the non-technological resources available to me- this is a challenge sometimes, but I like it.

I wonder... how do others go about solving their crossword puzzles?

Never Go Shopping When You're Sick.

You end up with so many interesting items...

It all started with the first pair of heels- shoes, even- that I've purchased since my knee injury in November.

Aren't they absolutely beautiful?! They're Enzo Angionlini's, and they are so comfortable, and so sharp looking!

Hooray for Nordstrom's "Reduced" section! Of course, these shoes can't be worn with my dress for Dana's wedding either, but I couldn't resist them. Especially since I made it for a full 30 minutes today walking around in heels before my knee got angry with me!

On to the next stop. TJ Maxx. I got a book The Meaning of Flowers- myth, language & lore by Gretchen Scoble and Ann Field.

And after that, Target. This is where the whole "being sick" part really affected my grocery list. I went in with the intention of getting tea, cough syrup, cough drops, and some water. I left with 10 for 10 vitamin water, cough medicine, cough drops, airborn, mouth wash, apple sauce, 4 cans of soup, and no tea, and no other stinkin' food. Oh- I also got a case of 7up and some really really comfortable men's pajama pants, some nice & thin cotton ones.

My fridge is now full of vitamin water and apple sauce. I guess I'll have to go grocery shopping tomorrow, this time with an actual list.

I need to go to bed soon, I have a busy weekend ahead of me, as if sleeping all day today was not enough. RARR. Stupid chest cold.

Three Weeks Till the Wedding and Still No Shoes

Below are some more of the shoes I've found for April 4th. Too bad the cute strappy sandles are $89. I'd planned on spending about that much for wedding shoes, but NOT sandles... we'll see what else I can find. Who knew that this would be so hard! Stupid, stupid knee surgery.

I think these are just great- had to put them on here, for kicks... *grin*

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes... What's a Girl to Do?!

And just when I think that it can't get any better...

There's no place like home.

Really, I think the first ones- Via Spiga "Monique"- are my favorite. And all of these shoes are heels that I cannot wear, and none of them are gold or platinum or bronze, so I can't wear them at Dana's wedding either. *sigh* Separate blog to come about those shoes...

Feeling Numb

Congenial Insensitivity to pain is a very sad disorder, the body feels no physical pain.

I wish I had Congenial Insensitivity to emotional pain.

Last night I had an incredibly and terribly intense, very real dream about David, and while I was the strong one and he was the one who's soul was shattered, I could feel it, and it broke my heart, all over again. Three times in 12 months.

I don't understand why he keeps haunting me, why I can't just move on. It was more than a dream, it was too real to be just my subconcious processing things; it felt prophetic- and it's so weird to say that, since I don't think I've EVER really said something like that and been 100% serious about it!

Maybe it will be one of those de ja vu moments, and the dream is preparing me for the real thing so I will be able to be the strong one. I kinda just want to throw my hands up in the air and give up on the whole "feeling" bit, but I know me, and that wouldn't ever happen.

Funny story. It was once pointed out at work that I'm usually drinking something from a container that matches my outfit- whether it be a blue starbucks mug when I have my blue track jacket on, or a coke if I'm wearing red & black, a sprite if I'm wearing green, etc. This morning I noticed that even my toothbrush and toothpaste are matching.

I wonder if it's possible for a person to be OCD with shapes and colors? I wonder if that person might be me...

Wednesday Wonders

My friend from PLU, the one who inspired my Lenten blog posts "Not Me Monday" (which was borrowed from one of her friends) and "Trevin Tuesday", so here's my version, Wednesday Wonders!

I wonder how long it will take before my body is done hurting!?! Last night I fell asleep on the couch, and when my phone rang I rolled over to answer, bending my knee for leverage, cringing in pain, and ended up launching my phone across the living room! If it wasn't so darned painful, I probably would have laughed - when I say launched, I mean flew across the room and then slid on the hard wood floors. *sigh* Alas, I'm more mobile than I was, but I'm afraid I have a long way to go.

After my fiasco with the flying phone last night, I decided to sleep in, letting myself slowly wake up... I checked my email, and got the most wonderful message from Nordstrom about their HUGE shoe sale!!! I wonder if/when I will be able to purchase some of those shoes that are on clearance at 40% off but still total more than $150 with tax? We'll talk about those later- perhaps tomorrow?

I wonder if people realize how wonderful everyday activities and events are? I know I've mentioned it before, but I'm going to talk about it again. I absolutely love the sounds of the city as it wakes up! The seagulls start their cries, busses start their regular routes, and cars hum as they fly by my apartment. It really makes me miss walking to the lightrail, but I close my eyes and imagine the water meeting the skyline as the sun rises. Walking outside, I took a deep breath this morning; Today, it smells like baseball season. *grin*

And my last wonder for today...
I wonder if the designer was inspired by a beloved rubber ducky...
