Friday Hodgepodge

-- My mother gave me a pair of boots that her friend gave her because she didn’t like them once she ordered them. They might be the ugliest all-black boots I’ve ever seen, and they are very roomy inside (I think they were made for wide-width feet, which I do not have) but I wore them anyway to work on Thursday. There was a monsoon. They will heretofore be known as the monsoon boots. My feet were dry, and I wore comfy socks with them. I feel that’s a win – who am I trying to impress at work anyhow? I work in a cubical.

-- I made cookies last night for my manager’s retirement party and I managed to not eat a single one.

-- I typed that last sentence on Thursday morning as wishful thinking. I ate the misshapen one, and the hubby had one. And maybe I had a bite of his too. All the others are wrapped for work, and I think I'm stronger now.

-- The amount of money in the pot for BiggestBloggingLoser makes me want to not eat for the next three months.

-- Gold's Gym Dance Workout is really hard, especially when you skip the "beginner" workout and go straight to the intermediate one ... especially when you are not an intermediate exerciser.

-- I may be a wimp, but 49 degrees is really freaking cold to go jogging in. I only got in 1.1 miles before I wimped out and came back inside so I could feel my fingers.

-- I don’t like Chelsea Handler. I’ve never seen her show, but I tried to read My Horizontal Life and I was not impressed. Are the other books any better?

-- I do, however, like Harry Potter. I didn’t expect to like the series, but I finally got around to reading them and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. I’m on Half-Blood Prince now.

-- Henry takes catnaps in his jumper, and then wakes up to play some more. I don't realize he's woken up until his toys start spinning again.

-- I don't think I've named these Friday posts the same thing two weeks in a row.

Distractions

I had a brain storm last night and decided to officially quit 30 for 30. I'll try again next season, and maybe I'll even do it the way it is supposed to be done. In the meantime, I'm blessing you all with photos of my shoe collection. I love my shoes, and I weeded out the ones I knew I'd never wear again. My new goal is to try to wear ever pair of shoes and photograph them.

I was reading up on my blogs while I climbed the stairs and I accidentally missed the floor I was going to and went an extra flight. So yay, I guess.

I'm scared to death of falling down the stairs as I fell down them twice at my old job. And I didn't wear heels there. Me and stairs are not old friends. You'd think I'd be less likely to read while climbing them, but you'd be wrong.

BTW, I'm in a much better mood today. Can it be that it's Friday?
