Silver Shoes - Part 2

So, I think these will be the choice for the wedding. I think they will be comfortable enough and I should be able to wear them again. I am thinking dark jeans maybe?

Silver Shoes

I didn't know it would be so hard to find a pair of silver shoes for a wedding. I wore myself and my husband out at the mall on Saturday trying to find the perfect pair. I didn't want to spend a lot on a pair I would not wear again. I also found a cheap pair ($15), but I couldn't imagine wearing them in public. So, after 3 hours at the mall, I came home and ordered 4 pair from Zappos (see previous post). They are supposed to arrive today, so I will let you know how it goes!

Zappos

I absolutely love this website. My last 2 orders have come next day air at no charge to me! YEA!

But, is it wrong to order 5 pairs of shoes, to return 3-4 of them??? I have a small, narrow foot and it is difficult to find shoes that fit. So, with free shipping and returns, I end up sending a bunch back.

So, I ask again...is it wrong to order a bunch of shoes, knowing you will only keep 1 or 2 pairs???

Conference Calls

My neck has been bothering me lately and I was wondering why...well I spend most every morning on conference calls and hold the phone in the crook of my neck. I need to get a headset or something!!

Derby Party Recap

THE PARTY WAS A HIT!

We had a great time at our party. I did red rose arrangements on the breakfast and dining room tables. We did Mint Juleps (fresh simple syrup) and Oakes Lillies for drinks. I made mini hot browns, benedictine dip, ham and tenderloin biscuits, and had beer cheese. And for dessert, I made a "race day" pie. We had about 30 people at the party. We ordered and gave away official 134 derby glasses. And all the ladies wore a hat! It was so much fun, we're gonna make it annual!! (we had cinco de mayo festivities in the neighbor that we all went to after the party, everyone was jealous of the hats and want to come next year!)

Overall, it was a wonderful weekend!! (Unfortunately I did not take any pictures on our personal camera, so as soon as I get some sent to me, I will post them!!)

Derby 2008

Since we are not in Lexington to celebrate Derby at Keeneland, we thought we would bring Derby to Atlanta! We've been planning a Derby party!! So, after all the crazy travels, I have been trying to get this party pulled together. The floors are finally done, so we are able to hang pictures and put the raining kitchen items away. I'll definitely post pictures after the party!

Have a great weekend!

Drunk Birds

Have you ever heard of drunk birds? Well, we have a bird that keeps trying to fly into our dining room. If you remember, we have 2 large windows on the 2 corner walls. Well, we have a bird that pings the glass on a regular basis. He is flying right into it!!! When I mentioned it to my friend, she said they were drunk.....

Drunk or not, it is really annoying....
