Be careful what you wish for

Sometimes I just don't think we are doing anything blog worthy.  You know, go to work, come home, take a nap, make supper, watch tv.... it's all very exciting....  However, you stalkers love even the tiniest bit of silliness in my life.  Because you ASK for it, you shall receive.  God be with you.  (I have no clue why that's highlighted in white...)

I am getting excited about leaving for Texas in a couple of weeks to go to National Rally.  It will be a great time with my jeweler friends, we will get great trainings & who could forget the new jewelry?  Be still my heart.  

I was having anxiety about shoes I needed to go with my Red Dress.  You know I really don't like to shop when I HAVE to so this was becoming a problem.  My friend Rose told me about endless.com.  It's a division of Amazon.com & they sell all kinds of cute shoes.  

I narrowed my choices down to these 3.  I'm not really a heels girl either.  I would hate to fall & break my neck in front of Andy & Tim Horner.  I emailed these choices to Rose & she said either the ones on the left or the ones on the right.  I wasn't reel keen on that strap around my ankle so I chose the ones on the left.

They have 2 day free shipping so I got them right away.  They have a small, larger heel so it's no problem for my limited walking abilities.  I cooked supper in them one night to break them in.  

B-rad said, "Did you really fix supper in those?"  Uhm, yea I did...

 I'm sure you've all seen those pics people put on facebook & pinterest of funny sayings, quotes, etc.  B-rad finds a lot of those things on an app he has called 'ifunny'.  Then he sends them to me with his own commentary.  This one said, "Remind you of anyone?"  I responded, "Nope."

 He said this one reminded him of me.  I replied, "I don't know if I should be offended or flattered?"

 This one needs no explanation... I replied, "HAHAHAHAHAHA yup..."

 I've had some toe ring drama too.  I got my toes rings like forever ago (years... I'm talking 6-7 years) & I never take them off.  Never.  They sleep with me.  They shower with me.  They go under socks in the winter with me.  (Girls this does NOT apply to your Premier gems.  Those come off as soon as I get home!)   The one on my right foot had daisies on it & I loved it, but the daisies were only on a certain area & the rest was plain...so it was annoying to me that it was constantly turning & the daises were facing the floor.  I got the brilliant idea to get new ones.  Have I mentioned how much I love the internet?  I went on toerings.com & found some super cute rings.

But here's another story...when the chick forced my daisy toe ring on, I told her it was too tight.  She insisted I was crazy & sent me on my way.  I kept complaining it was really tight & then I got used to it.  If you aren't familiar - toe rings fit differently than regular rings.  The pad of your toe is usually larger than the knuckle part so you are encouraged to use soap or something to get the ring off over your pad.  UHM, when I lathered up my toe to get the daisy ring off - it wouldn't come off.  I tried & tried & it didn't work.  Thankfully I have a resourceful hubby who I knew could help me.  I texted him & said, "Do you have anything at home that can cut off my toe ring?"  He said, "Sure.  A torch..."  He.is.hilarious. 

One of the 2 new rings came in.  The other one is just a plain band with little crystals & it's backordered so I have to wait for it.  Sigh.

 Oh, my nails!  So remember when I was doing the press on nails?  Well, that got annoying because they would pop off & I felt ghetto re-gluing them back on.  One day I was super pissed off at work & had had it with everything & everybody & I just decided, "I'M GOING TO GET MY NAILS DONE!"  Random...I know... 

 I've been keeping up with the fill-ins every other week (which is also annoying) but I really do feel better when I have them done.  They look pretty & make me feel pretty'ier'. 

Most the time I just get french tips but this time I was going to do color.  And the little dude said, "whole nail or just tip?"  (you can barely understand them...) I said, "Whole nail."  He said, "Sure?"  I'm like, "I don't know?"  He said, "Tip looks better.  Too much color".  Ok nail dude- you know best...Not sure how I feel about them...it's definitely different.

 And I'll be damned if the very next day I chipped one.  I don't even know what I did but I looked down & had a black scuff mark & some of the paint chipped off.  Very irritating...

 And last, but most definitely not least... I'm gonna talk about a purse.  You know my love of purses.  I need them.... I crave them... They're my crack.  However, crack kills & I've been having trouble with my shoulder aching.  I know it's from years of carrying a purse stuffed with too much stuff.  I started carrying a wristlet (or 2...) that I own a few weekends ago & I really liked it.  It was uber weird not having all my crap with me, but also liberating.  Shauna liked mine & wanted to get one like it.  We searched high & low online but couldn't find what I had.  So we went shopping.  (Shopping for purses or the like does not count in the hate shopping category.)  We went to Penney's where I had bought mine but couldn't find one so we ventured to Dillard's.  And do ya'll know what's at Dillards?  Coach.  Tear.  

We found super cute wristlets for a not so cute price.  (Mind you I didn't need one, I had my perfectly good wristlet already...duh...).  We left to look at Hallmark but the Coach wristlet was calling my name.  

And I came out with this.  I'm a mess.  

I really do love it.  It has a nice big zipper pocket on the backside & my cell phone fits in it perfectly.  It's been a little strange not having all my crap with me but my shoulder appreciates it.  And listen to this - B-rad sent me a link that the Ebay Coach outlet was having a big sale.  I logged in, looked around, didn't see anything I wanted & logged out.  Could this be the beginning of the end for me?  Shudder...
