I Spoke Too Soon

I know I just posted an awesome pair of wedges, but they've been upstaged.

This is serious stuff guys. This shoe you're about to see is glorious, perhaps the hottest shoe I've seen in awhile.

Remember last year when I was raving about my beloved Calvin Klein Parmas? They were my summer splurge, but sadly, I had to return them when I got them because the 5.5 was too small (even though I"m always a 5.5 in CK shoes). They were sold out at the time so I abandoned hope. Well they're back, but that's old news.

They've been upstaged by their younger sister, the Dail. Ohmygoodness, Dail is beautiful in every sense of the word.

Would you just look at her gladiator straps? Her gorgeous platform?

And her sassy zipper?

And her sexy, tall heel?

This has been moved to the top of the wish list and now the game of finding the best price online has begun!

I am swooning. Shoe addiction is a beastly thing.

Springtime Shoetime

You know what would be a fabulous addition to my shoe wardrobe for spring/summer?

These wedges.

I love them, they're glorious and added to my wish list!

Rant of the Day

Can we just - as a nation - stop obsessing over Britain's Got Talent! Puh-leez?!

I don't care about Susan Boyle - her voice, the fact that she's never been kissed or her makeover! I would be just fine if I never heard a thing from the boy with the great voice - because quite frankly, his attitude just bugs, he's getting an ego.

And now this 10-year old girl?

Come on! While I love you Matt, Meredith, Ann and Al - this has no business in the first hour of Today.

So just stop with the coverage.

K, thanks.

P.S. Our water is fixed and our water pressure is better than it was before! Yay, blessing in disguise!

City Livin'

Dear City of Chicago,

Please fix our water. Clearly there's a problem. And it's one you are already aware of. Your workers were all over my dog on Monday, petting her and loving her. I even let you into our yard for access to the manhole. I thought you had my back.

That was four days ago.

I knew you were on it - you even blocked parking in front of our house. I had hope.

But that was four days ago.

It sure is messy. But the patient part of me can look past the mess. But the problem is now inside too. We don't have any water pressure. In fact, we can't even turn on our showers. And brushing our teeth is difficult too. Luckily we can take a bath - but the water comes out slower than molasses so it isn't very fun.

We'd sure appreciate getting this taken care of. Soon! I need a shower!

Great Morning

I had a pretty good morning today. By no means am I a morning person. My parents got the brunt of it growing up - I was one cranky kid and even worse, a cranky, snotty teenager. But really, who isn't at that age?!

When I grew up and got into the working world I developed a routine that worked for me. That routine included coffee, number one, and the Today show. Over the years, my love of Today has deepened. I love the NBC family, and it truly kickstarts my day.

When we moved to Chicago, my morning routine changed and I don't have as close proximity to the television from the bathroom so I don't always get to watch/hear Today. It's sad.

Don't even get me started on how we haven't seen the Nightly News with Brian Williams ONCE since we moved - the downside of central time, if you were wondering if there was one.
But part of my good morning today was because I got my ML/MV viewing time! How else am I supposed to keep up with the news - the real behind the scenes stuff, the human interest angle.

I am completely amazed by the Craigslist killer stuff. That's insane, scary stuff. Today was able to get an interview with a former roommate - but it was for the most part filler and just who they were able to get. I'm pulling for the fiancee tomorrow - because she sounds completely clueless. I have sympathy, I do - her fiancee is a lunatic and she didn't even know it.

I'm off to get more coffee - sadly, I didn't even make any at home this morning. Too enthralled with the television.

Please Mr. Postman

I've done my share of looking at all the awesome stuff on Etsy, and now I actually can say I finally purchased something! A Necklush, as seen above. I'm super excited to get it.

I ordered about a week and half ago - so hopefully the UPS man pays me a visit soon.

Working 9 to 5...
