The boots....

The boots.....
Beautiful ,black patent leather, ECCO boots.... I fell in love with the as soon as I saw them in the window..... I went back to the store 2 x's before I caved.... only one pair left... & surprise, my size......
I have been trying to find a reason all day to return them...
I really don't need them...(yes I do)
How long can I wear patent leather?
They are flat.... I never wear flat shoes....
they are twice the amount I would normally pay for boots.... (I am a cheapskate)
I won't be able to wear them to my meeting tomorrow because of all of the snow etc... bla bla bla....
BUT then.....
I was able to actually zip them up over my new jeans---(yes, I broke down & bought new jeans yesterday too....) So you can actually SEE them... & to my surprise, my thighs don't really look THAT fat with my jeans inside the boots.....
HOW CUTE are these going to be when I go to Rome next month? CUTE CUTE CUTE... no snow there....& they are FLAT, so I won't ruin the heels doing all of the site seeing.....
I'm keeping 'em.... & I am going to wear them to my meeting tomorrow... snow or no snow...

They're super cute! Don't return them. You always return things you splurge on. This is your treat. Your birthday treat!

LOVE those! Don't you know?! When you buy new jeans, you have to buy new shoes. Plus, you're going on a trip and that always means new shoes. ;)

Those are damn cute boots! Keep them and enjoy them. I am a firm believer that a girl can never have too many shoes! You'll have to post a pic of yourself wearing them.

They are super cute; I like them...but I'm stuck on the sentence: "They are flat.... I never wear flat shoes.... " Really? You only wear heals?! I NEVER wear heals...funny....

Those boots are hip and sassy! And something like that will always stay in style. Too bad my calves are too fat for something like that. When exactly is your bday???

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
