Confessions of a Shoe-a-holic

A fitting title for my blog which didn't make the cut...

I have previously bought shoes similar to ones I already own. I've bought shoes that I loved but didn't have clothes to go with them. I have shoes I've never even worn. I would tell how many, but I truly do not know. My feet are also changing. Shoes I once loved don't fit the same or rub in a different spot, maybe its time to give them up? Now I'm looking for this pair in the picture, which are $34.99 at www.metrostyle.com. I refuse to pay that much for a flower, some straps and no heel. Because no matter how much I love shoes, I'm still frugal lol. I have checked ebay and found one similar, but it looks cheaply made to me. I looked high and low on other sites, but all lead me back to metrostyle. I think I will just have to go to cutesygirl, one of my favorite shoe sites and get these! There's so many cute colors to choose from. But, first I should check my inventory to make sure I don't already have some :-).

Reconnecting with Mama

My mother gets on my nerves more often than not, but yesterday something strange happened. We went to the mall, along with my daughter and to my surprise, SHE was happy to be with me. I was irritated at first, but by the end of the day I had come around and remembered the woman I love who used to take me anywhere and I was happy to go.  I also couldn't believe how friendly she is to other people too, which is the total opposite of me now. She bought us lunch, cussed out an unattentive waiter (who deserved it btw) and I just thought...that's my Mama! She gave me some much needed skillets and a pot she had at her house and even gave me a hug and kiss before she went home. Even more shocking was her phone call this morning to say how much she enjoyed our time together.  I felt happy, if only for a moment...
