Introverting

I saw this shirt on Facebook recently, and I think I need it:

I definitely haven't been getting enough introvert time lately, so I thought I'd do a post about it and pretend.

Introverting definitely needs some snuggly wuggly slippers, in my opinion.  And yes, I just made introvert into a verb.

Bunny slippers are a classic for a reason.  I could wear these for more whimsical introvert times.

A good introvert activity is to hang out and watch movies, so themed slippers seem appropriate.  The Chewie slippers crack me up. I'm not sure I want to put my foot in Darth Vader's mouth, though.

Reading Harry Potter sounds like the perfect introvert activity.  I would need these slippers.

 Oooh, I definitely need these slippers!  And to listen to some Beatles while introverting and reading Harry Potter.

You know I love dragonflies, and I love the colors of these, but I want them to be more snuggly wuggly.  Maybe they are and they just don't look like it from the picture?  Not sure.  What I am sure of is that I need some slippers and a book and some Beatles and some puppy snuggles and a whole day of not talking to another person one day soon.  I should figure out how to accomplish that.

Fuzzy

I'm tired (yes...still at the office) so I typed in "fuzzy slippers."  I was drawn to the animal ones tonight:

I'll take a pair of each, and a nap to go with each pair!  Please?  (although I do think the pig ones are a little odd, but still cute).  Hopefully there is sleep, if not fuzzy slippers, in my very near future.

Memory Lane: Nothing!  I didn't post on June 10th once in the last 3 years.  It was the first day I ever missed in my attempt to blog every day.  AND, I almost didn't post tonight because of the tired.  Wonder what it is about June 10th that makes me not post?

Happy Easter!

Christ is Risen!  Happy Easter!  Here are some shoes!

Oh, Irregular Choice...I'd love to know what kind of drugs you are on...

Um.  Who wears these?  Put down the glue gun and back away slowly.

Or these?  At least they are pretty colors?

Oh dear.  I really did have good intentions when I went looking for Easter shoes.  And the the results were really really frightening.  Poor little trapped bunnies.

At least these are marginally cuter.  The bunnies look a little sad, though.  And I just realized I ate zero chocolate on Easter.   I didn't go to church, and I didn't eat chocolate.  I officially suck at Easter.

I posted these last year (turns out I posted those Irregular Choice ones, too), but they're so bright and fun, and I needed a palate cleanser after the rest of this craziness.

These are cute, too, so at least we're ending on a decent note.

3 Things:

1. I made it through Lent with the 3 things!  I missed those 2 days, but made them up, so I didn't do too bad.  And now I will stop subjecting you to this part of the blog.  I should probably tell you all of the deep things I learned about gratitude by doing this, but I'm just too tired to think straight.
2. We finished at the old house today!  Done.  Yay!
3. Christ is risen!  We celebrate the promises of the resurrection once again!

Bunny Bragging

Apparently I'm ignoring Lent and going straight for Easter this year, but I can't wait any longer to show you these newborn props I made for JK Photography (AKA the Pinterest Friend).  It was my first commissioned crochet project!

Doesn't Pedro make an adorable model?  Not that you can see his cute face.  The ears stand up better if I put the hat like that since his head is tiny.  These were a lot of fun to make.  There are a million and 7 mistakes, but I think they turned out fairly OK.  I can't wait to see a newborn shoot done with them.  I think Pedro needs his own hat in a smaller size.  I might have to work on that this weekend.  In the meantime, here are some pink and blue bunny inspired shoes:

Oh my goodness, it's a bunny wearing pink bunny slippers.  I might have just died from cuteness.

How sweet are these?  Simple, but also adorable.

I think these are really cute and really hilarious.  They're also 381 freakin' dollars, which makes them absolutely ridiculous.

You knew there would be a pair like this, didn't you?  I can never resist!

 I wish the faces were a little different on these, and then I think they would be adorable.

Blue and turquoise bunny shoes!  Yes, please.

See comment above.

Again with the face.  These are cuter, but also a little scary?  And those ankle straps seem way too big for the shoes.  And I think those are doll shoes.

Ah, bunny shoes.  I might need some for Easter.  I should have thought of that while I was still in the parish. 

Memory Lane: 2013 (be very afraid). 2014. 2015.

3 Things:

1. Being asked to make fun crochet projects.
2. Doing my best (and sort of succeeding) not to freak out about the lack of perfection in that project.
3. Getting several things accomplished today that took the amount of time they should have instead of 8 million times longer!

National Dog Day!

So remember how yesterday I said I should wear shoes with lower heels today since my feet were so swollen?  Well, I did.  I chose shoes that I was convinced had shorter heels until I actually got to the office and measured them.  4 1/2 inches.  Ooooh...a whole half an inch shorter!  Insert eye roll here.  I'm currently wearing flats, just in case you were curious.

Today started out promising enough.  I got to sleep in until 6!  But then everything went to Tartarus in a handbasket.  Cue freaking out and panic mode.  Between that and all the crap happening in the news, today's post will be dogs wearing shoes in honor of National Dog Day.  I think we could all use a little cuteness in the day.

They can't fix everything, but hopefully at least one of today's pictures put a smile on your face.

Happy Easter!

Christ is risen!  Christ is risen indeed!  Alleluia!  How was your Easter?  Mine was quite nice, actually.  I went to church!  Then I came home and we talked to the hubby's family for awhile after which I had a lovely Easter nap.  While I was sleeping the hubby made whatever-is-in-the-kitchen pizza.  It was quite yummy.  Now we are hanging out with the puppies.  Time for Easter shoes!

First, the calendar.  This shoe is awesome!  I would totally wear this for Easter.

Ohhhhh, Irregular Choice.  Always crazy.

I don't need toe shoes, but these are adorable. I hope they are part of some fab Easter ballet.

DIY Easter shoes!  Next year we should all make a pair.

Babies and bunnies.  Always a good choice.

How fun are these?  So bright and cheerful.

Also bright and cheerful, but in a totally different way.  I love these.

What's up with me and pink lately?  These are super fun.  I'm also really into wedges right now.  Look at all the fun colors in these heels.

These are the shoes I wore this morning.  Nothing new this year, but these are still one of my favorite pairs.  And see?  Wedges again.

These are a pair of Clarks that I own.  I wore them a couple of weeks ago when I went to a training, and a friend of mine from seminary said she had the same shoes.  I went to her church this morning and she was wearing these exact shoes!  It was cool, but maybe you had to be there.

Hope you had a fabulous Easter!  Χριστός ἀνέστη! (Christos Anesti! (Christ is Risen in Greek)).
