Grumpopotomus

I was tired and grumpy this morning for some reason.  It was one of those mornings where I felt like I was supposed to be in several different places, doing 6 different things at once, and I wasn't doing any of them well.  I'm sure I was grumpy with people who didn't deserve me to be grumpy with them.  My apologies to anyone I may have snarked at...it wasn't you...I just suck sometimes.  Oh well, tomorrow is a new day, and hopefully I will be better at controlling the grumpies if they show up.  Here are some pictures that made me smile today, presented without comment as I have probably said enough already for one day.

 

 

Except for this one.  I HAVE to comment, because OMG, it's a penguin in socks.  Did you hear me?  A PENGUIN.  In SOCKS.  I might need to print this and put it in my office to look at on grumpy days. 

 

 

Fine

OK, so I admit it:  I have too many pairs of shoes.  I haven't counted lately, but it's somewhere around 50, which could be a lot worse, but is definitely a lot of shoes.  I know this because the hubby invited a bunch of people over for a BBQ tonight and we've been cleaning the house.  My shoe rack has long since warped and dropped most of the shoes, so they've just been in a pile on the floor of the guest room closet.  Last night I put them into 2 huge boxes to get them off the floor and into the closet so the door would close.  This is not ideal.  Neither was the huge pile, but that was easier to dig through.  So storage is an issue.  I don't know where to put 50 pairs of shoes.  Oh, there are also 2 under-the-bed containers with my flats.  The closet just has heels and boots.  I guess it's time to purge.  I might have to cry.  I always purge when I move, but it's depressing every time.  Sigh.

 

On a non-shoe related note (because I am now in mourning) on Sunday at church one of my 4th graders gave me this:

 

She made me a wallet.  Out of duct tape.  But not just any duct tape.  No, this is awesome blue duct tape with tie-dyed peace signs on it.  Because she is the coolest kid ever.

 

Grrrrr....

Watch out, I should be wearing these shoes today:

Can I complain for a moment?  You can stop reading now if you would like.  I went shopping today.  We are headed to MT next week for the wedding of one of my favorite people in the world, and I wanted something new to wear, so off I went.  Blah.  I love shopping for shoes but I really hate shopping for clothes.  There was a period of about 5 minutes last year when I almost enjoyed it because I had lost 40 lbs and I was looking pretty good.  Then I got sick.  And I got sick again.  There were antibiotics and more antibiotics.  There was stress of various levels.  The drugs made me bloated.  The stress made me eat.  I've gained all of the weight back and some more.  I'm at the heaviest I have ever been and it sucks.  So I hate shopping.  I hate fluorescent lights and 3-way mirrors.  I hate that things look cute until I put them on and then they lose any shape whatsoever.  I'm cranky.  I'm pissed.  And I want to kick things.  I did buy a dress.  It's fine.  Whatever.

 

I'll stop now and show you some boots.

 

 

My aunt sent me this picture today; she found the boots in an antique store.  I think they are fun.  Don't think I'd wear them, but I can appreciate where they are going.  Plus, I love that my aunt sent me a picture for the blog!

 

If you've made it this far, through all of my bitching, here is several minutes of baby giggling to cleanse your palate.  It made me giggle a lot yesterday and will hopefully make me marginally less pissy today.
