Accessory or Necessity?
When it comes to shoes, I’m all about the comfort. You won’t find me wearing a pair of pointy shoes (MacKenzie has an Italian saying for these shoes) that look great on your feet but cause death, and grief, and sorrow. I wear Columbia (Silver Sands) flip-flops when I’m cooking in the kitchen. Unfortunately, Columbia changed the style for Silver Sands and the new style causes bad blisters.
It was love at first sight when I saw the watch. It wasn’t until after I left the store that I realized I couldn’t read the time.
So…my favorite shoes are extinct. *sigh* Thankfully, I bought a pair in every color, and a few extra for good measure. I really don’t care what they look like. They are a necessity. They’ve comforted me through the streets of Italy, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Greece. And…in many a kitchen.
When it comes to watches, I’m not so practical. I have a sweet Tokyo Boy watch I bought in Couer d’Alene. The band is really thin, patent leather, and a mossy green color. It was love at first sight when I saw the watch. It wasn’t until after I left the store that I realized I couldn’t read the time. Who cares? It’s a beauty. Last year I found a beautiful Pulsar. A thin silver-gold band with a black face. I have no idea what time it is when I wear it…but it looks great on my arm and it makes me happy. What’s your impractical accessory? Your necessity?
Well…It’s About Time
I needed a blog change. UpSaid has been a great tool and I’m thankful it was available when I started blogging. So, I cast off the old colors and wanted something fresh and clean. A special thanks to Austin Storm who encouraged me to test my skills and try something new. So Austin…what do ya think?
Bananas in Pygamas
A little something different for my friends with kids. While on a journey through food blogs, I came across this cute little site for kids. The site offers projects for kids like: finger puppets, cards, masks and paper dolls. The paper doll clothes are made to fit bananas. (Stop laughing…I’m serious) Anyway, the clothes are for boy & girl bananas. There’s a fireman, a handyman with tools, a fairy, and more. Take a look at the cute little project and…hey, quit laughing.
Ankle Update
Saw Dr. Grauke today. X-ray showed I have a sprain…no fracture. I get to wear a funny shoe for three weeks and then it’ll be all better.
I am a happy girl.
What Time Is It?
It’s 4:50 in the evening on Tuesday…which means it’s 6:50 am Tuesday in Moscow, Idaho - where you’re ten hours behind. And…for those playing on the East coast, it’s 8:50am - where you’re 8 hours behind.
A sure sign that I’m getting older is the time it takes for my internal body clock to adjust. I feel like I’ve been awake all night and now I’m exhausted. The last few days my Mom and I have been taking naps at around 3:00pm, but today I suggested we go for a long walk. The nap makes it difficult for me to fall asleep and stay asleep. Greeks, like Italians, love their afternoon naps. Of course you need a nap if you’re staying up all night.
I’ve been falling asleep to Greek television, which in itself is a snooze fest, but the combination of Greek subtitles and movies from the 60’s is oddly entertaining. Maybe I should try reading.
Tonight I’m taking dinner to my Aunt’s neighbors - they eat at 8:30pm. So I’m passing up the nap and forging on quietly while my Mom and Aunt are asleep. And tonight while all of Greece is smashing plates and drinking Ouzo…I’ll be sound asleep.
