Little Things, Big Heels

Mood:  showered, relaxed, tired, slightly accomplished

Today I woke up at 6am.  Thus, if the blog post earlier rambled and didn't make sense, it's because I wrote it at 6am.  After that, I decided to go back to sleep since today is my only day off in...I'm not sure how long because the September calendar for work has not been made.  After 20 minutes of tossing and turning, I decided to get my day going by prepping my nails for painting and pampering.  

After which, it was time for the inevitable:  packing.  Caitlyn and I packed most of our clothes (okay about half of our clothes) and kitchen items  Bathroom items, living room items AND in addition to organizing and packing all of that, we took multiple loads to the car and to be ready to literally just GO.  After that, I decided to treat myself to a nap, which really ended up laying in bed while Cait talked then did some work, and I eventually woke up.  More packing.  And then I did my nice thing for myself today.

I totally shaved my legs in a luxuriously long shower.  And after painting my nails and showering and shaving...Caitlyn and I sat down to watch the Emmy's.  I LOVE red carpets...and some day I want to walk one.  Which is why perhaps I'll have a red carpet at my wedding...just for fun.  Anyway, sometimes I get bored and to spice things up I put on heels or do my make-up or wear a tiara.  Tonight:

Unfortunately at the first commercial break to the Emmy's we went to the bathroom...and saw poor Maddie all alone in the bed waiting for us excitedly to get in with her.  So we moved from one room to the other and decided to cuddle with the lonely little puppy instead of watching people win awards and fawning over dresses and shoes.  After all...sometimes life really is all about the little things.

Goals

Today was ridiculously busy.  After waking up (again to Lady Gaga early in the morning) I got pretty much straight to business.  Caitlyn and I ran to the bank, ran and picked up a few smaller things for the new apartment, opened a checking account and new (and better) bank, packed, got rid of stuff....and then I napped.

And when I woke up in the afternoon...everything that I had done in the morning felt like days away and I was feeling lazy so I popped in a disc of "How I Met Your Mother" and watched a few episodes.  And as I have had a ridiculous sweet tooth (chocolate specific) for the last two days I treated myself (and Caitlyn) to some ice cream.  A small but delish happy thing for today.

What I really did for myself today...was search for Halloween costumes.  Which I do in random moments when I get bored online and need something to look at....and this lead to a pair of shoes I had long since forgotten.  

Theses are not just any shoes...these are THE shoes.  I MUST have these shoes.  And I forgot about them for nearly a year because...I can't afford to spend that money on a pair of shoes right now.  That's internet for a month.  But I look at the delight and slight obsession these shoes come with as such:  everybody has goals.  For instance, one day I'd like to take a girl's vacation with Caitlyn to Disney.  It may or may not happen but it gives me a reason to keep putting money in our piggy bank.  The shoes...smaller version of Disney goal.  One day I WILL own these shoes.  Until then...I'll look at them when I need a quick little pick me up.  Such as I did today.  And I think that we all need these little goals to remind us that our bigger dreams are completely attainable.  And one day I'll wear these shoes to a book signing....I hope.
