Of Shoes and Shopping

I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but I am one of the pickiest shoppers you will ever meet. I have no desire to follow the latest fashion, nor do I like much of what is even out there for fashion. It's just that I invision whatever it is that I want and almost nothing ever comes close. *sigh* At one point, E and I decided that I should just become a seamstress and be done with it. I can sew, I just don't know how to use a sewing machine--not yet anyway.
So I have a pare of white sandelsz that I love. When summer comes around, I wear them every day and my sneakers basically go in to summer hibernation. I even where these sandels to church and sometimes in the rain if it is not too too bad. But This summer I am afraid that I will not be able to wear my beloved white sandels. I've had them for some time now and they are very very warn and the bottoms should start coming off any time. So basically I need new sandles. So with out further ado, I present, a story of shoe shopping.
This weekend E and I went to find another pare of sandels that I could wear to death and for a few years. I guess that is part of why I am so picky, because I don't have the money to shoe shop that often. So I need sandles that I will love and that will last awhile. But first, here are my requirements.

• slip on is prefered, though not required


• open-toed


• I am not a fan of thongs


• I don't like leather


• I don't like black or brown


• I don't want any kind of heael


• I would like some elivation to my sandels, not because I am short, but because if I am going to wear open toed shoes, I'd like to be not so close to the ground

Sounds simple right? ... have you seen shoes lately? So basically, everything I don't want is what's out there. And on top of that, a lot of what I don't want is what makes a sandel. How I found the perfect pare the last time I'll never know.
So E and I visited probably five or six different stores and found nothing. It was dress pants shopping all over again! Although actually we almost did find one pare, but in the end I decided that I wasn't in love with them. Guess I should learn to make shoes too huh?
So I bought coffee. Yup, I couldn't find shoes or chocolate-covered coffee beans--yes I have been looking for those for some time now--so I got coffee instead. The quest continues!
Oh, and in other news? Eddie and I are learning
this
song, among others. There may be another Eddie link for you soon. =D

*heart*Love of My Life*heart*

I mean of course my darling wonderful Eddie! I have mentioned him before I know, but I'm not sure in how much detail.
So I was going to post something fun and maybe quirky for you from my thought banks, but really I just want to share Eddie with you. I have been trying to find a way to do this almost since I started this blog and now I finally can!
This is just a little peace of happiness from Eddie and I for you. I dis like my voice so I will not sing for you, but here is
Eddie!
Sorry the sound quality is not ideal, I will work on that. Also sorry about my nails; they are way to long and I need to cut them. Anyone who clames to love me wanna buy a pick for me? I will love you forever! Lols actually you really wouldn't need to buy me a pick for me to love you forever.
I am happy enough for your friendship. =D
And now you have heard my wonderful Eddie. Doesn't he just sound so happy!? I hope you enjoyed. There is more where that came from. Well,, lovely dreams all!

All The Bananas!

So I've been finding lots and lots of banana songs or songs that mention bananas and driving roomy crazy singing and playing them all day. Apparently it was a popular song topic once upon a time; hmm, I wonder why. I've been having lots of fun with it and it's kind of become a thing now to find as many as I can. I am not actually counting the bananas in pajamas song because it is the theme song to a show and the rest of them are legitimate songs about bananas. bananas bananas bananas bananas!!! And of course I love bananas. I know quite a few people who do not, but I enjoy them thoroughly. Also I think just in general, I need more novelty songs in my life! My roomies couldn't quite get over how strange some of my music on my ipod is. Although, some of it is quite well known but obscure is fun. So send me your banana songs and we'll see just how many we can collect! Also before I go, just to let everyone who may be curious know, I am doing better now. TTFN!

Were Had By All

Hello there =D I have had a lovely weekend whose high I am still coming down from. Shall I tell you about it? So I did make it to the concert by the way, and surprised everyone. It was so much fun! I really should enjoy more live music. My school's Symphonic winds and Jazz Band is pretty sweet and I love to go hear them play. Every year I think to myself that they really ought to have CDs. So yeah that was exciting to go hear them and to surprise my friends who played. I <3 you guys! We got a Christmas tree on saturday and it was exciting because neither of my roomies had ever had a real tree before. So of course as someone who had had at least 2 or 3 I had to give the tree the old freshness taste test. Very fresh and piny if you are interested. Decorating was fun too and we took pictures with the bird up on the tree. Then Sunday was church, Messiah and Christmas party--the first of two for me actually. It was all fun and I stayed over with one of my profs, but I think my favorite part was Monday night when my three friends and I hung out together and fought crime! Lols yes, we all really are that amazing. I think I want to find some games for my machine soon. I think that's what I will get myself for Christmas. Pleasant dreams. ;)

Woo What A Day

I have been having an interesting few days of late; just a whole bunch of different circumstances and feelings. I think I want to override them all. I think I just need a new project. I'm pretty sure I've said that before, but it's true. That will at least keep my hands busy.
So this friday my school is having a symphonic winds and jazz concert and I am excited because I think I might be able to go! I don't know when it ends though. And and and ... I am excited for the Christmas party! Hopefully it actually happens though.
Ok, yay for good things and good moods. Let's note this and save the feelings and maybe the others will go away. =D

A Shiny New Whistle

I am now the proud new owner of a beautiful tin whistle! It came Friday and I am so excited. I haven't named him yet because I am trying to find just the right one. He came in a little package, but there was no kind of case or anything so I made my own. Nothing too special, just a little drawstring sleeve deal. It could use maybe a quarter inch more length though ... oops.
He has a very lovely sound, but I haven't played him very much because I am afraid to disturb the neighbors. :D Maybe I'll post a recording on here or something.
Alright now back to trying to fall asleep, tootles!

Red With Black Spots

Every so often something catches my attention and lodges its self in my thoughts. I become fascinated by whatever it is and depending on what it is, I try to learn more about it. I seem to go through quite a lot of fascinations, but I never entirely let go of the old ones. Most recently I have developed a new appreciation for the cello. The problem is that I have not yet been able to find one to try my hand at, and buying one isn't any easier because of how expensive instruments are.
The Latest fascination is actually not a completely new one, but an old one that has been sparked because of something i read recently. lady beetles
I remember when I was about in the third grade I made a picture of a ladybug out of construction paper and asked my teacher if I could go teach one of the younger classes about ladybugs. I guess then that they have been a fascination to me for awhile. I've always thought them friendly and cheery looking with their black and red and I've even considered finding a bunch of little pins or buttons in ladybug shape and sticking them to a t-shirt or something. I did that once with frogs, but my mother borrowed that shirt and I've never seen it again. I think perhaps I'll make some sort of Ladybug necklace or maybe a pair of earrings. That should perhaps satisfy my fascination and the next time I think "hmm, ladybugs" I'll have the necklace to wear.
P.S. remember that post all about red? Some people consider ladybugs lucky and some use them to help in their gardens. :D bye for now and let me know if you have any fun ladybug stories.

Another Day

Not much happening here today, though the heat has gone on some sort of rampage. hehe I am practicing barre chords now because I suppose they are useful though we are not friends at the moment. I had a giant craving for Chinese, but no one would go for it with me so sadly I had to deel with the food here. :( O Well, another day maybe. I also organized my flash drive a bit which for some reason I very much enjoy. ... I sort of want to drink some coco, but it is too hot right about now lol.Maybe this week will get more interesting? laters :D
