just another thursday...

1. packed the Galant for my 5th move in the past 5 months. if only they had frequent shopper gas cards and oil changes.

2. thanks to a dad who takes precious time to pack for any road trip or move I have learned and perfected the art of said packing and went from drawers and coat hangers to maxed out trunk in 32 minutes.

3. living with an 83 year old is...well, it's living with an 83 year old. when I said I was moving she says, that's stupid and a waste of gas (the frequent shopper card would have helped here).

4. being the granddaughter of this 83 year old one might think couldn't be bad for anyone, but when you have an older brother who is "cuter" than you and not overweight as you may be at your ripe age of 7 months...well suddenly being the granddaughter is not so fun.

5. moose decided his last day in this house he would make the one day he peed in the house. way to be moose. {he's still the greatest dog ever}

ps...if anyone is looking for a purchase to make for me, I really need (for the collection) the shoes posted below :)

{sunday shoes}

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!! Hope this day was wonderful to you!

The weather could not have been better across the SE this weekend. It was lovely in TN and just as nice in NC. Hope the weather was nice wherever it found you too!

Sun shiny days calling for super cute heels to be worn with fun flowing dresses and all things summer. This fun navy/tan sandal would be great for all wardrobes!

sunday shoes...

For all you dog lovers, here are Adventure Dog Boots (yellow) and Polar Trex Winter Dog Boots (red). No, I have not purchased these for Moose due to the fact that I'm pretty sure he would out grow them by next Friday and he is pretty lazy when it comes to walking any sort of distance.

I saw these awesome little shoes at REI not long ago and thought to myself, do people really buy these. But lets be serious...I'm sure people do. And how could I say anything, with a hobby of collecting shoes, I wanted to get both pair! So if you 1. have a dog and 2. plan on hiking the AT any time soon, here is your shoe. If neither of those fit you then this is merely a fun fact you might need one day to win Jeopardy.

senior roomies and copper pigtails

HELLO from North Carolina! The state that brought us flight so we can travel more efficiently. You are welcome for that. My new residence is with a sweet lady in her 80s...yes that is right. So I have thought for the past week that I have no internet. Funny thing is...when I asked if she had wireless I could connect to, she had no idea what I was talking about. Needless to say, her younger more in tuned nephew set up wireless that she does in fact use she just had no idea what it was. Love that. But more importantly, life with steph is back to running and no longer from the booth of McDonalds!

How is life different when living with someone your grandparents age. Conversations are MUCH different. So I have decided that in edition to sharing lovely shoes and the ever so exciting aspects of my life, I will now also be sharing the little snipits I'm learning from two generations back.

The scene: about 9pm and I'm headed to be (yes, I go to bed before her during the week. so I may be the old lady.) She is watching tv and I say goodnight when she says come here, I need to tell you something. This I know means it will be a while before I head to bed but surely could be anything under the sun she wants me to know. Not sure exactly how the convo began but it turned into her telling me about the last guy she dated and how wonderful he was. Then she started telling me about the random (at least I think) gifts he would give her. He would show up with turnip greens or other vegetables and things along that line. My favorite...the copper pigtail which is displayed on the desk in the living room. I'm still not exactly sure what it even is, but something that comes from when copper things are made.

Stay tuned for more exciting and very interesting snipits from life on Stuart.

sunday shoes!

Coming to you live from the Golden Arches due to lack of internet at my new place. Man do I miss the benefits of the 21st century and realize how much I take them for granted.

Spring has sprung peeps and that should make you excited! If you have seen me pretty much any time of year expect when snow is on the ground you have seen me in Chacos. Mostly because these shoes are amazing. They are perfect for any event from hiking to weddings, yes, I have seen them in weddings.

What is the benefit of them you ask? They are not your basic sandal. The strap is one continuous strap therefore it can be adjusted to fit perfectly on any foot. This is the biggest reason why I love them because if you are like me, my feet do not fit every shoe all that well. But this one is designed to fit you! I thoroughly enjoy the classic sandal here with the toe strap and the simple flip flop. If you do not own a pair of these, I suggest investing in some because they are great for any occasion and last a lifetime.

Another reason to love Chaco...they now have products for animals! And if you are asking have I also invested in these, the answer is you know it! Moose (pictured below) now has a dashing collar in the same pattern as these lovely shoes. Yes please!

now playing: MOOSE PADFOOT DAVIDSON

He is finally here. The long awaited much loved Great Dane, Moose.

Picked up the {little} guy on the way home from the Lonestar state. Thank you to Danes Country in KY for having such wonderful pups! I sure do love this guy!!

Why the name? Moose: because he WILL be a moose when has finally stopped growing. Side note...just in the short time I've had him he has gained several pounds and almost grown out of his first collar. Padfoot: because Harry Potter is awesome and more importantly Sirius Black is one of the best characters. You know how I feel about that. Davidson: because he needs a great last name.

Call me biased, but this dog is by far the greatest dog ever.
