So I bought two more pairs of Converse sneakers last week. The
pink and
black ones were only $20 at
Marshalls. I couldn't resist. I think these are my favorite pair!! Cooter thinks I am a little crazy, can't you tell?
Then, when I got home, I noticed that the
OVERPRICED ebay sellers had my clear ones
(drool!) in stock.
That is when I check Journeys and, sure enough, they had them!!! So I bought them too, only after asking permission since I am a shoe-ho!
John, my other boyfriend/UPS delivery man, brought me my new,
CLEAR Chucks yesterday. I am in L-U-S-T with them!! They look great with my hand knit socks!! They are a little foggy, but I am wearing acrylic socks (its too warm for wool) and it is very humid today.
I also have been playing in the dirt some more!! I bought some
Margarita Sweet Potato Vines to plant in my cinder-block wall. I had placed some pavers on top to make it a solid wall, but I switched around the pavers and the top row of blocks to make them into planters. I can't wait to see it cascading down the little block wall!!
Lastly, I finally acquired a human-powered lawn mower. Just another way for me to get some exercise and reduce lawn mower emissions, thus reducing my footprint a little bit more. I really like how this thing cuts. It has a little trouble with some of the softer weeds, but I just yank them up if they aren't cut. Whats better is that it doesn't make the loud noise that a gas mower makes. I can actually listen to my
iPod
while I cut the grass!
Oh!!! Today I took my wedding dress to get it altered to fit!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! Can you tell that I am excited?
This is what happens when Erik goes out of town. I got shopping with my mother. We hit up the Allen Premium Outlets. There is a Converse outlet there.

I can spin! Not well, but I can spin!! I made a drop spindle for under $5. I even picked up some wool roving for needle felting to try it out. So far so good!
I'm sure you have noticed that I have posted links to my wedding registries in my sidebar. That is so family and friends that read my blog can easily find them. If you have clicked on some of these, you may have noticed that I have registered for Fiesta dishes. I don't want china. If I break china, then I have to worry about replacing it with the exact dish. With Fiesta, I can replace it with what every I want!
Have you seen my Converse collection? I have a few pairs. Nothing massive... yet. But I am trying to get there!
Piperlime's latest email did its job!! Since my Wedding Chucks aren't going to be here for a little white and I can't wear them until the wedding anyways, I bought two more pairs of Converse/Wanna-Be's. These are a little more wild than the ones I already have... I even considering buying a really ugly pair on eBay and decorating them, like these!!
