Not So Much Shoes

The Bean and I have a date to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, hopefully tomorrow.  I didn't watch The Great Pumpkin this year, so I must be better about my holiday Charlie Brown viewing.  Tonight's post is an homage to this great holiday classic:

Could someone please find these and send them to me by Thursday morning?  Thanks, that would be awesome.

 

I never paint my fingernails, but I might consider it for this.  Or I could do my toes this way, right?  But then no one would really see them.  Bummer.

 

These are cookies, people.  Cookies.  They're too pretty to eat!

This necklace kind of cracks me up.  It's cute, but I don't think it's the necklace for me.

Awwww...Pedro (or the PB) needs this!

Holy charm bracelet, Batman!  See?  It has the same charm as on the necklace above, but it makes a little more sense here.  Dang this thing is busy.  Not that I can say anything as I had to start a new charm bracelet because my first one was full.  (it's not Charlie Brown, though)

 

I need these by Thursday too, please.  I don't have any Thanksgiving earrings.  How sad is that?

Sorry about only 1 pair of shoes tonight, but it's not like there are a ton of this specifically themed shoes out there.  But in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am grateful for these fun and silly objects to make me smile.  I'm also thankful for my nieces, but I don't seem to be doing so great at being auntie this trip home.  This was the one thing I always felt pretty good at, and now I'm screwing it up too.  Must. Do. Better.

Celtic Festival

The auntie, seester, brother, and all 5 nieces went to the Celtic Festival in Missoula today.  So jealous!  It's like they're trying to make me more homesick than last night.  I would have loved to have gone with them, and hope they had a great time.  I went to it once, maybe 10 years ago, so it's probably grown since then.  The auntie and I used to go to Celtic festivals a lot when we lived in Texas, and I always wanted to buy every piece of jewelry and all the McKenzie plaid in sight.  So maybe it's good I didn't go today!  Since the biggest excitement of our day was that the hubby and I got the oil changed in his car, I think I'm going to go with the Celtic theme for tonight's post.

Clearly the next time the hubby and I get married it will have a Celtic theme and I will wear these.  Sadly, I can't get him into a kilt.

 

I'm not an Irish Step Dancer (although think of the great shape I'd be in if I was), but I though this was awfully sweet.

 

Celtic Tree of Life.  I wish she wasn't wearing black hose with these, because the hose are hideous and very much detracting from the coolness of the shoes.  But obviously no one asked me.

 

I couldn't find a front view of these, but they look fun.  They would be awesome in all kinds of colors.

 

The picture said these were "shoe wings," which I'd never heard of, but which are clearly wings that go on shoes.  I like the Celtic knot design, I know many many many of you will like the green.

Not my favorite of the group.  I like that the straps seem to be iridescent, but the  knot seems like it's too much for the daintiness of the straps.

Had to have a baby shoe.  One more item for the Potential Baby's imaginary shoe closet.  Hey, if I can have one, so can s/he.

Random fact of the evening:  My first tattoo is a Celtic Knot.

For this last part I want to make sure you are sitting down first.  Are you?  Because I'm already in bed.  Can you believe it?  And I'm going to sleep as soon as I post this.  It's almost like I'm a normal person!

Homesick

The hubby asked me last night when I wanted to go home anytime soon.  Um, YES!  I don't have definite plans, yet, but I've started looking at plane tickets, and thinking about dates.  And worrying about the puppies while I'm gone.  I don't even have a plan, yet, but I worry what they will do while the hubby is gone for 14-16 hours a day.  I know.  I have issues.  Anyway, since I've been thinking about Montana, it seemed like a good idea for this post.

University of Montana Grizzly shoes.  Where I went to college.  Not Montana State, which would  be our rivals (not that I actually care about sports, but I still get vaguely annoyed when people assume Montana State when I say University of Montana).

Mountains!  Montana?  No idea.  Don't care, I say they are Montana so they are.  So there.

I love buttercups.  They say spring to me because they are always the first wildflowers that appear, and I loved looking for them as a kid.

The Montana state flower is the Bitterroot.  I couldn't find shoes, but I found this line of jewelry which is really cool.

 

The Montana state bird is the Meadowlark.  Obviously this is NOT a meadowlark, but it is the name  of the shoe, and I think they shoe is awesome.  I mean, duh, it's blue.

It's true.  I heart Montana.  Even if the heart is over Billings and not Missoula. Stupid Billings.  Hopefully I will make it home soon.  In the meantime, I will just think fond thoughts of home and family.
