I'm baaaaack! So, I was gone this weekend in New York City (and let me tell you, I had the BEST time with my brother and sister! Thanks Diana and Brendan for getting married and inviting us to come!) I will have a post later this week detailing the trip and the shoes that went along with me!
However, we must move onto THESE AMAZING SHOES. These are the shoes, my friends, that have been taunting me from the top shelf of my closet for months. My sister got these shoes for me 2 years ago as part of my Christmas present, and I HAVE NEVER WORN THEM! I'm not really sure why I have not worn them until today, but boy am I glad that I did! I got SO MANY COMPLIMENTS on these shoes today. From several of my students to the NICU nurses at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center where I visited Brittany and Scarlet Rose Gutierrez this afternoon! Scarlet is amazing and beautiful and wonderful and is going home from the hospital tomorrow! I would have to say that these shoes took me on one of the best journeys I have embarked upon as of late: to meet my beautiful pseudo niece. Of course, I had a minor meltdown at the hospital because I am just overwhelmed with the emotions that accompanied the fact that my best friend is now a mom. So weird and so cool.
These are serious shoes. They are super high, they have velcro (yes, VELCRO...like "grandma Reeboks"), and they are BLUE. I have a LOT of shoes (did I mention that??? LOL) but these are my only blue shoes. I feel like Elvis (you know, "Don't Step On my Blue Suede Shoes")....minus the drug addiction and crazy high fat diet....regardless, these shoes make me happy. They were a gift from one of my best friends, Joslyn, and they took me throughout the halls of Long Beach Memorial on my way to meet my precious baby Scar-Ro.
What a good day. What a fun weekend I had (more on that later). What fun shoes!
P.S. It was "Disney" Spirit Day today at school---hence, the Minnie Mouse Ears (a gift from my work wife, Karen). So fun. I've got spirit, yes I do, I've got spirit, how 'bout you???? I live for this stuff, people. That's why I teach high school. So I never REALLY have to grow up. Duh. :)
