I know I have mentioned how much I love Fall but have I told you that I love Fall?? All the catalogs are coming in with Halloween this and pumpkin that and oh my....I'm in love! No it is not officially Fall but IMO, it is Fall enough for me to be excited.
I went on to Illuminations.com to find the pumpkin candles and they do not have them anymore. I am so bummed. They have Pumpkin Pie but no Pumpkin. I don't know if they smell different or not. I guess I will have to order one to find out. But what if I hate it? Then what? I have to pack it up and ship it back. That is what I hate about online shopping. If something doesn't work out, you have to pack it up ship it back. Oh, if were only that simple. Some companies make you call them and get a number first. Some companies make you fill out this big ole whatever paper within a certain amount of time and on and on and on. They want your first born. They want your blood type. It never ends.
However, oh...internet shopping..it is the greatest! Shop for anything and everything from this country or across the pond. Oh yes, with a click, it is yours. Yum-O! When it works out, it is the best experience of your life.
Take for instance, Zappos.com AKA Heaven on Earth. Is there anything more beautiful, more sinful, more delightful? Shoes, all kinds, sizes, types, colors, makers, oh help me. The only thing missing is an open credit card that I never have to pay off.
So, if anyone has seen my shoes lately you know my plight. Nasty. Embarrassing. Yes, my shoes. Part of the reason they are so gross is time. I just do not have time to go store to store to find what I am looking for. I can barely brush me teeth daily (no I am not kidding). My kids take up 99% of my time. But they few times I did glance while shopping for everyone else, I just did not find anything I liked. I did go to one store where they had oh darn, thiose earth shoes that the granolas wear. You know the ones. Anyway, though I really didn't want them, I kept hearing about how comfy they were. So I wanted to get some. Yes, I am finally at that age where comfort is everything. Well, they didn't have anything I liked or that fit me. So there. Well, I finally broke down and went to Zappos.com and low and behold, there was a pair of shoes that interested me. White sandals even with velcro. Awesome! Totally adjustable. So I ordered them. They came in and they look like something an 80 year old would wear. So I tried them on. Perfect for my 80 year old self. They were comfortable as they were ugly and I am keeping them. I figure with my bald head, no eyebrows, and no eyelashes, no one is looking at my ugly yet very comfortable shoes.
I remember the days when I would look for the highest shoe I could find. Shiny, red, and hookerish, perfect. Now I waddle in a flat. No sense in trying to stretch out a fat bald calf. No one is looking anymore anyway. And I am so disappointed, no cougar status for me. I thought I would always be cool looking with maybe a little harlot in me. I have stopped wearing makeup, time doesn't allow and who would see anyway? And especially now, bald with makeup, too weird unless you're a Blue Man.
So we will see what happens to me when I grow my hair, eyelashes and eyebrows back. Maybe with a cement mixer, some spackle, and a little mascara I will look human again.
But I will still be wearing my comfy 80 year old flats. So there.
Made meatlof for dinner. Charlie got home late so I need to go make his potatoes and warm up his dinner.
Night.
