Darling but Deadly

OR...the things we do in the name of fall fashion...

They looked so cute sitting there on the shelf in the store. They were going to go perfectly with my new grey pants and sweater. I felt so good walking out of the house this morning. Loads of compliments all day. When asked by a kindergarten teacher at 9:20 if they were comfortable, I replied, "Oh, yes!" with a big smile. By 11:30 I was in the nurse's office to get a few bandaids for the tiny little blisters beginning to develop. By 2:00 it was painful to walk from my desk to the trashcan. By 4:30, the thought of walking to my car was nauseating. Of course I had to get gas and stop at the pharmacy after work. Each step was excruciating.

But they're just new, right?

You just have to break them in.

Maybe I'll wear my grey sweater dress tomorrow. Sigh. Don't be deceived.

These are tiny little torture chambers for your toes.

I love em! ;)

Primitives

Auntie Brenda took us out last Wednesday night for a fun girls night. We went to an adorable store called "Potting Shed Primitives." Soooo cute... I love this rug!
Candlesticks and crows. Hello Fall!

Happy Harvest!

So the weather isn't exactly fall like. It's about 3o degrees cooler than average, but we are making the best of a rainy chilly day and getting into the fall mood. Since we are preparing for PumpkinFest '09 later tonight (what a good idea, Melissa!!) we thought we'd share some of our harvest decorations and goodies. The pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are making the house smell DELICIOUS. Happy Harvest!

P.S. Dear Fall - You are very nice and all, but I must confess...

I really am just using you to get to Christmas! ;)

Love, Jacqueline
