It's All About the shoes...


Well--I leave for vacation tomorrow morning!!
I am leaving the five kiddies and the four cats and the two new pups!!
And I am headed to fun filled Florida in July!!
(can you detect the sarcasm yet?)
And the kicker is we are going to Disney--without the kids!!!
-Thank goodness they have a pool at the hotel-
No, seriously my darling husband has worked his bottom off
and won us a weeks paid vacation through work and this years
trip just happens to be Disney
(last year was LA and Hawaii and next year is Cancun)

But we only have to spend three days at Disney (yuck)
and then we go on to our four night cruise!!

Now to be completely honest,
I was not looking forward to this at all
(abnormal fear of water)
but since I have started packing
I realized--
There is the potential for three outfit changes a day!!!

Breakfast-pool

Dinner-the adults only restaurant (Disney cruise)

And then back to the room for a little "napping"
and change in to evening wear to scope out the clubs!!!

When I realized I could dust off some of my clothes
--and go shopping--
Well, it just is fun!!!

And did I find the best shoes!!
(and stick bra)

After an agonizing evening at the mall
(instead of the quilt shop)
I was failing everywhere-
Boobs too small
bottom too big
and no white shoes to be found(it is still summer, right?)

So, like the trooper I am--I gave it one more try!!
(Tried a department store)
I found a sticky bra that fit
(and a much nicer sales girl)
to go with my backless, floor length red metallic evening gown.

Gave up on the shorts-got new shirts to go with the old ones.

and the shoes, oh the shoes!!!!

I was desperate for white sandles.
After trying on fifty pairs, I made myself try on the last ugly ones
and they were perfect for the little white chiffon dress I have.

And as I was trying to leave the department
(like trying to leave the quilt shop)
I spotted the sexiest black sandles.
They fit in a fabulous way!!
And I scrunched my eyes as I check the price
(for this would be an impulse purchase)
and the tag said $21.00 and
my cart was already a little too full.
But looking around, most of the summer stuff was on sale-
Could I have stumble on an item not yet marked down?
Spying two engrossed sales clerk, I asked where the nearest
price check was. She pointed it out and I casually bolted
right over to it.
I scanned my beautiful black shoes and held my breath.
My eyebrows went up in excitement--could this be right??
I scanned them again
and again just to be sure!!!
On sale for $11.00.

And let me tell you
I have the sexiest feet in the north country!

Well, I do hope your feet are clean and do not smell! lol Don't forget to bring lots and lots of bottles of water when in Florida in the month of July. Ask me how I know. Just standing in line at Disney makes you sweat to death. It's probably due to batting your eye lashes, drip, dip, drip in sweat. Have fun! With the heat, it might be a good time to deal with your fear of water! You know, explosive therapy! It's bloody hot down there in July! Take care and keep safe! Gosh I enjoy giving you a hard time. Have fun my friend and drink plenty of water! ;o)
