Flannel

Today I am thankful for my mama.  Actually, I am thankful for her every day because she is amazing and loving and supportive and I don't know where I'd be without her and my dad and their awesome awesomeness.  Today I am thankful because this morning she sent a text asking, "flannel sheets or regular?"  I'm going home soon and she was asking what kind of sheets I want to sleep on while I'm there.  See?  Awesome.  I said flannel because I love them and it's actually cold enough in MT to be able to sleep in them, unlike here where I'm lucky if I keep the sheet on the whole night.  In honor of my mom and her mad hostessing sheet options, today's shoes are flannel.  Oh, actually they're plaid flannel because my further options were blue plaid or gray plaid with moose.  I chose gray with moose.  Please continue reading after you've picked yourself up off the floor because I didn't choose blue.

This is practical and probably comfy.  I like them.

This is hilarious.  I LOVE the colors, but don't think I'd actually wear this particular pair of shoes.

I do love me a plaid pump.  Actually, I like a flannel pump, too.  I have a pair in gray flannel.  No moose, though. Or plaid.  So, really nothing like my soon-to-be-slept-on sheets.

Adorable.  I kind of want to pair it with a giant, red plaid hunting coat and one of those flapped hats...

Hmmmm...Smaller heel, so more practical for many situations, but I'm not so sure about the colors.

Practical, professional, pretty!

I can't wait to dive into those sheets.  It's been a rough go, and flannel sheets might just be the therapy I need.  Plus mom hugs.  And niece snuggles.  And sister time.

Interns and Flannel and Piggies

My feet hurt.  A lot.  Today the hubby and I attended an end-of-the-year luncheon for mentors.  Our high school intern attends a charter school that requires all students to do an internships on Tuesdays and Thursdays at local business.  There are about 300 students at the school, so that's a lot of  internships and mentors.  And look, I got a certificate!

Yeah, I know you're jealous.  Anyway, I decided I should try to look as nice and professional as possible, so wore heels for the first time in absolutely forever.

The heels aren't even that high in the grand scheme of things, but my feet are so very mad at me, and poor little not broken but still very swollen piggy toe is VERY mad at me.

Can you see how swollen that little pinkie toe is?  Thankfully I brought flats to wear the rest of the day.

Even though they made my feet sad I still really like those gray flannel shoes and decided to go look for more.

 

I love this.  So very cute.

I kind of like this.  Yes, I know I'm probably weird.

Pretty much what I already have, just with a platform and higher heel.

THESE are the shoes I should have worn today.

This is weird and also maybe kind of cute?

T-straps!

I know gray flannel might not be the most exciting shoe material in the world, but I don't think these shoes are boring.  Tomorrow I'll be back to flats and hopefully my feet will forgive me.
