Random Searching

Sometimes when I can't think of something to post about I start to google random phrases and see what images pop up.  Tonight was one such night.  I was thinking about the day, which started with taking the hubby to the dentist.  For some reason we both thought it was just a scheduled cleaning, but it was really a 3 hour visit for fillings.  Not just any fillings, though.  These had bands that wrapped around 2 teeth and were inserted UNDER the gums.  *Shudder*  My visit was much more enjoyable as I went and got Starbucks and then sat and read in the waiting room.  I definitely got the better deal.  So, my random search tonight was for Starbucks shoes.

Running shoes.  Probably for running off all of the lovely calories in a typical latte.

Interesting.  Might be fun to wear if you were an employee.

These are actually cute.  Green and stripey for all of my green girls!

That search led me to think of my brother's favorite coffee:  Death Wish Coffee.  Yes, he is odd.  They don't have shoes that I saw, but they do have hats, which my brother has and which Double A and The Bean totally covet.  They are odd, too.  Thankfully they aren't allowed to drink this particular coffee.  They're hyper enough.

 

These are Venti shoes.  Kind of cute, huh?  See what happens when you randomly search?

I can't remember what I'd typed in when this came up.  But it's cute, and I could drink my coffee from it.  Any maybe eat some cupcakes.

Good night.  I must go to bed and have random dreams like always.  Maybe they'll at least be about shoes this time.  Or cupcakes.

Happy Birthday, Big Brother

Yep, today is my big brother's birthday.  He is 4 years older than I, and during our lives as siblings I have both hero-worshiped and been completely annoyed with him.  So, typical siblings.  I like to call him big brother like Sally does with Charlie Brown.

He's not *quite* so dorky as Charlie Brown (heehee).

 

This picture is pretty accurate to what it would look like if I took the brother shoe shopping with me.

Yes, the brother's birthday is, in fact, on April Fool's Day.  We weren't allowed to play pranks as kids because it was his birthday and that would be rude.  So I tend to be fairly gullible on April 1st as I first and foremost think of it as my brother's birthday.  But clearly he needs these shoes.

The brother is way addicted to coffee.  I would say 95% of his facebook posts are about coffee.  Not that he's a girl who wears heels, but come on, these are heels shaped like a pot pouring coffee!  Maybe his girls need these (he is the father of DJ, Double A, and The Bean).

 

Um...if these said king and were men's shoes then maybe?  Yeah, he still wouldn't wear them.  He really is no fun with no sense of adventure.

OK, so enough shoes.  You need a brother story.  My brother was/is evil.  Growing up my sister had a calico cat.  This cat did not like me.  So what did my brother do?  EVERY. SINGLE. MORNING the brat would rile up that cat until she was absolutely hyper and pissed off.  So, EVERY. SINGLE. MORNING when I got up and wandered sleepily out of my room (never was a morning person), that damn cat would attack my ankles and I would run screaming to the bathroom.  Yeah, happy birthday, butthead.
