    Gold Gladiator Sandals {Shoe Style Saturday}

    10 August 2012 / 8 Comments

    Another week has come to an end. sigh This is our last week of short days at the library. During the summer we work from 8 AM to 4 PM and during the school year we work from 8 AM to 5 PM. I know it doesn’t seem like much, but that hour really does make a difference. But I’m thinking time should pass quickly, since the students are coming back on campus at the end of the week, the work load will pick up so here’s hoping, right? A few weeks ago, I was in the thrift store and I found this chair. Something about it called my name…

    Black Bow Flats {Shoe Style Saturday}

    21 July 2012 / 0 Comments

    Black Bow Flats: Kmart Yesterday ended my first week at the library. While some things are still pretty new, in many ways it feels like I’ve always been there. Don’t you just love when you ease into a new place and instantly feel comfortable? Most of this week was spent with housekeeping ~ enrolling in benefits, getting my email set up, cleaning up my office, etc. Next week, I hope to actually get into the business of running my department ~ getting some training, finding out exactly what everyone in my department does, etc. Oh, you don’t know what I do? Well, my title is “Library Associate” but what I…

    RV Hunting {Shoe Style Saturday}

    9 June 2012 / 5 Comments

    Hi, everyone! I hope you’ve had a pleasant week. Things have been going really well over here. So many exciting things are happening: I was selected to be one of 50 female bloggers to join Team #Cinchspiration in a weight loss blogging program (you can read about that here). I’m going to need lots of cheerleaders, so please join me on Facebook, Pinterest and/or Twitter. Today the hubs and I went RV hunting. This has been a long time dream of his. I, on the other hand, have been horrified at the idea of peeing in the back of a bus. That is until he took me to the RV park today. Whoa…  I was…

    Not My Shoes {Shoe Style Saturday}

    19 May 2012 / 4 Comments

    Have you ever been out and about and saw someone wearing the most fabulous pair of shoes and thought “Wow! I love those.”? That’s what happened to me the other day when Miss 18 and I were hanging out at the Cup N’ Cork. This lady walked into the coffee house with these beautiful sparkly shoes and I was all “Duuude, those are cute” to my daughter… You guys know I’m attracted to anything shiny. So I walked over to the lady and asked if I could take picture Weird, I know and, not only did she say “Yes” but she totally struck a pose for me. As much as…

    Brown Wedges {Shoe Style Saturday}

    5 May 2012 / 8 Comments

    It seems like I live in these brown wedges. They’re just so incredibly comfortable. In fact, I have a black pair just like them that I actually wear just as often. I will, at some point, get a picture of myself wearing them for proof. Yesterday I wore those wedges to Miss 15’s school. Her teacher sent us an email letting us know that our daughter was getting an award for her hard work and dedication in her English class. She was also Student of the Term this year… Anyway, Miss 15 didn’t know about the award or about our visit, so she was pretty surprised when she looked over…

    Shoe Style Saturday

    21 April 2012 / 8 Comments

    I didn’t really do much this week, between the chilly weather and being a bit lethargic, I just haven’t gotten out much. Last night, we went to church {the second night of our men’s conference} and I wore the shoes above. I’ve had them for at least 3 or 4 years, an impulse buy while visiting my sister in Tennessee. I think I’ve worn them 2 or 3 times. I’m never really sure what to wear them with, do you have any ideas? Where did your shoes take you this week? To participate in Shoe Style Saturday, all you have to do is take a picture of your shoes post…

    I thought boot wearing weather had come to an end. Does boot wearing weather every really come to an end though? It’s bordered on freezing here. OK, slight exaggeration but after the near 80s we were having, the 50s and 60s feels kinda frigid. Has the weather done a sudden flip where you are too? Even with the cool weather, I did get out and do a bit of wandering around the area with my camera in tow. The Mississippi Riverfront is one of my fave places to go when I wanna just people watch or take some pictures of different architectural settings. Have I told you how much I…

    I didn’t really do much this week… The hubs got his car back, so we are once again a two car family. Happiness. I think we were both driving each other nuts. I know there are families who share a car and it works for them but I’ve had my own car since I was 20, this was hard. Yesterday, I finally got to see a Keurig in action. A friend of mine invited me to her house for coffee and a movie, and she used her Keurig. OK, that thing is quick! And the coffee was delish. I had a flavor called “The Donut Shop”, which I sweetened with…

    Brown Mary Janes {Shoe Style Saturday}

    Omg, yesterday was crazy! Between the rain and the hail, I thought for sure we were gonna have to build an ark. Didn’t get a chance to see the pictures of the hail that I posted? Check them out by going here. Seriously, I have never seen hail that big before. I’m surprised someone wasn’t knocked out. But I did learn one thing, after a storm, you sometimes see the most beautiful skies. And other times they’re just eerie and ominous. Don’t believe me? Go here to check it out. Anyway, the hubs and I ran errands. We’re down to one car while his is getting fixed… Y’all, it’s been…

    Brown Wedges {Shoe Style Saturday}

    I decided to bring it back… Shoe Style Saturday. I just love shoes too much to ignore them. Today my shoes are supposed to be taking me to choir rehearsal for a sound check but I’m still fighting this stupid cold. Seriously, I’ve been sick off and on since the first week of March, when will this end? So my shoes and I will be spending our day at home, on the sofa with the remote in hand. Where will your shoes take you today? To participate in Shoe Style Saturday, all you have to do is take a picture of your shoes post them to your blog leave a…
