Conclusion to "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"

I told in an early December post that my mother was already asking for ideas for me for Christmas. I had none...until the Frontgate catalogue came and a jewelry cleaner and heated sports seat caught my eye. She was perfectly willing to buy me whatever I wanted--however, I continued to hold out for that item that really POPPED out at me.

So after a Christmas lunch with two girlfriends, I walked into a store in Market Street and there these were...!!!

So I grabbed them and proceeded to call mom and tell her that she and dad just bought me the most perfect gift! (She was thrilled!)

I have to say that not only are these giraffe shoes adorable (in my opinion), they are also THE most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! Thanks mom and dad!

P.S. I wasn't going to show off my shoes; but, when I went to Living Proof's blog tonight and saw that Beth was showing her new shoes off, I thought it would be OK!!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It's that time of year again where my mom calls and wants Christmas ideas for me, Chris and the boys. Last night I took the boys to Target and they quickly and efficiently filled up two pages each of things they "have to have!" Even Chris has ideas for my parents this year! Me...nothing! I don't need anything and there is really not much I want. Maybe a housecleaner...someone to come iron for me for a year...NO! a personal chef! That would be awesome! Somehow I don't think that is in my parents budget! But, then, I went and got the mail and a Frontgate catalogue was in with all the junk mail and I actually found two things I would LOVE! Now, they are silly; but, I would totally use them both! First, I love for my jewelry to be clean and sparkly! The best cleaning job is done at Bailey Banks and Biddle where they use a steamer so...look at this!

And, then, everyone knows how I sit hours on end at baseball games -- rain or shine, hot or cold! This would be perfect!

Merry Christmas to All!
