Shoes and Puppies

So, these are the BC slip-ons from Nordstrom I'm wearing today...they are super-comfy and again go with the t shirt I have to wear on Thursdays. :) The other picture includes shoes AND my new baby! The shoes are my orange and white Asics that I wear to cross country meets and to do yard york. The cute little roly poly is Kona, our new chocolate lab. Yay for puppies!!

Proof

So, I wrote about Billy's bday party and here is proof that fun was had by all, especially Billy...what I cropped out of this picture is the look of sheer embarrassment on his wife's face.

OK OK

So, I abandoned the shoe challenge for a week because really, all I wanted to wear was flip flops, or my gold gladiators, which have already been posted. But, I'm back on track. These white flips flops are vintage Target....circa 1990 or so. I found them at our lake house stuffed under a bunch of cleans linens and immediately snatched them up. I find that some of my favorite items of clothing have been found there, left by some distant family member to be found by me, years later, to enjoy. My vintage blue Lacoste shirt, the old red Adidas shorts, Trey's 1970's Hawaii shirt, Trey's grandad Doc's cowboy hat...all amazing. Everyone should have their own personal thrift store!

These aren't as cute against the blue utility carpet of my classroom as they are with flipped up jeans and a little white Mexican blouse...but you get the picture...

1. I spent the day on the lake yesterday celebrating Billy's Cinco de Mayo birthday and had a blast! I laughed every time I looked at Billy wearing his sombrero and was thankful MY birthday is not on a day that requires such festive headwear. :)

2. I would MUCH rather be at home, working in the garden right now than at work. Obviously, since I'm posting a blog in the middle of the day.

3. I am on the hunt for the perfect pair of white jeans right now...and at this point don't care how much I have to pay.

4. I am getting a new puppy in a month, a chocolate lab named Kona.

5. I am counting down the days until we leave for Playa del Carmen even though I'm seriously stressed about the way I look in a swimsuit. Which reminds me just how much I need to hit the gym the next few weeks.

6. I'm super excited to meet friends tonight for some Tex-Mex and margaritas in honor of the day!

I am tagging Jess, Carrie, Rachel, and Mandy!
