Well....I really needed some shoes to wear for our trip. I have seriously bad feet these days, not sure why, but it has got to the point where I can't even walk around the mall without having throbbing, hurting, feet at the end of the day. I got a pair of shoes when I started my running venture. They were Avias. The most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever had. They are supportive in areas where I needed support and have this cantilever heel that is just amazing. During all my running/walking/training my feet did not hurt. Well, the problem with those shoes is that I wore them out between my training and coaching soccer. AND they were just really really ugly! Mostly white with a little pink on them.
It has gotten to the point where I think I am going to have to wear these kind of shoes all the time because ANY other shoes just KILL my feet, even sometimes when I don't even do a lot of walking. So, in the course of searching for good Disney walking shoes, I was hoping to find some nice "cool" looking Avias. After lots of searching I did find THESE shoes, and even ordered them. WELL, when they came in, they did NOT have the insole as advertised, they were just flat uncomfortable shoes. I returned them, and after two intense afternoons of scouring every shoe store and department store around, I settled on these:
I really really really wanted brown shoes that I could wear with my every day outfits, but push came to shove and I had to have some asap for our trip. So, the black and gray ones will have to do. I am looking at them in this picture and they look a little "retro" to me.....
It's not that they are that bad, it's just that I tend to buy a lot of brown and tan-ish hued clothes so brown would have really been ideal, but, the price was right and I will just keep my eyes open since this may have to be my one and only shoe brand from now on. Seriously, it is more comfortable than being barefoot!
Don't you love delivery day??? When you order something and wait and wait and then it finally arrives? We got back from an early morning errand to see a box on our porch! It was my order from Bath and Body Works that I got with a gift card I had received for Christmas. They were having an AWESOME sale, so this is the stash I got with my $25 gift card. I think I did pretty good!!! (the picture isn't great...I didn't want to take forever doing it and the textures on the cello wrap and the mesh bags were kind of difficult to photo)
A set of red mesh travel toiletry bags, the green "spring" tote, a travel size Warm Vanilla Sugar lotion, some kind of a sample packet of hair product they threw in, and a stainless steel caddy with Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin lotion and soap. The travel size lotion was free ( I found a promo code online). I just love my new goodies and can't wait to use my travel stuff for our trip! Woo hoo for delivery day!!!!
I am on a 45 minute break between shopping sessions and need something to keep me awake...so...here I am finally doing the "tag" that Bethany tagged me on probably more than a week ago!The Topic is: 5 things you love...I decided to go with an "F" theme because that's just what I thought of first, some serious, some silly...here we go:1. Friends! It's just great to be with friends...laughing, hanging out...being yourself!2. Family! God's greatest creation!3. Faithfulness!! Isn't is good to just be able to depend on God...your spouse....your family? I love that my people are faithful and I am blessed that my God is faithful!4. French Fries! YUM! All varieties...McD, Zaxby's, Steak and Shake...all great fries! Good anytime!5. Fall! Just the best time!K, the other thing I wanted to do was the "ABCs of Thankfulness like Bethany did...but I just realized that my brain is too fried for A-Z thinking right now...so nevermind!Have a good night!
Of course, I had to do this post! ha ha! We will be heading out early in the morning to go to Newnan for my dad's side of the family get-together. We already had a dinner this past Sunday with my mom, dad, brother, mawmaw, and Hannah (brother's gf).Anyway, after lunch with that side, we will head back here to Adairsville for some Thanksgiving Cracker Barrel style! I love their chocolate pecan pie! YUM!Just in case any gift buyers are reading....I have a recently updated wishlist posted over to the left. See the cute Christmas tree picture? I pretty much replaced the entire wishlist with some new things they recently expressed interest in, and what would go well with their "big" thing they want from us this year...So, Happy Thanksgiving, and have a fun Black Friday! I will be standing in the pajama line at the outlets in Calhoun, waiting for the midnight opening to get my free bag of goodies!!! Woo hoo!
