Laughter is Six!

Once upon a time there was a woman with a blog.  She typed and she blah blahed until she reached 1,000 posts.  And then she never posted again.  The end.

At least that's what it's felt like to me.  Maybe not to you as you may neither care nor pay that much attention, but I keep thinking I need to post and then get too busy or too tired or too whatever and don't do it.

But today is Laughter's 6th birthday, which seems the perfect reason for post 1,001! So here 6 pairs of shoes named after her:

I wish this didn't have the giant button on it, but it's cute otherwise.

This is sort of an odd shape but I bet it's cute on.

Love the color, hate the heel.

Um.  No.  Laughter deserves better than this ugly shoe.

Oooh, sparkly t-straps.  Much better!

This is so close, but not quite there for me.

Unlike Miss Laughter, who is practically perfect in every way:  She's funny, smart, sassy, adventurous, outgoing, and awesome.  And no, I'm not biased.  I can't believe you would say such a thing. 

Pink

The hubby stayed home today with what might be pink eye.  Or maybe not.  His eyes are definitely pink and runny, so we figured it was better for him and his germs to stay home.  The puppies and I went and took care of the office and the interns.  Tonight's shoes will match the hubby's eyes:

I'm not a huge fan of pink, but it's important to accessorize appropriately.

Sometime during the afternoon I got a migraine.  At least the dry heaving waited until I got home.  Now I'm going to bed.

Lipstick

We were at the office until 9 last night.  But I got to sleep in until 8 this morning!  The hubby is working from home today, which is something I pretty much never get to do.  At least my day has involved chocolate.  These sentences pretty much describe my mood today: up and down, back and forth.  Whatever.  It's National Lipstick Day, so let's look at some lipstick shoes, kay?

I've never really liked lipstick and haven't worn it much.  I either can't find a color I like on me, or I find something I like and then the wind blows my hair into my mouth and it sticks to the lipstick, or I have lipstick on my teeth.  I'm a terrible girl. In the last year or so I've started wearing Burt's Bee's tinted lip gloss, which I actually like, so maybe there's hope for me yet.  I'm not sure I have a burning desire to wear lipstick shoes, but I really like this last picture with the black shoes and pops of color.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to go back to vacillating between emotions.

Summer

I'm over summer already, and have decided to move to Siberia or the Antarctic.  Sorry for the TMI so soon in the post, but I'm incredibly tired of sweating through my underpants on a daily basis.  To cheer myself up I typed "summer wedges" into image search and here are a few of my favorites:

Now I'm both cheered up and sad that I can't go out and buy a bunch of new pairs of wedges.  All I can say is thank goodness for AC.

Inner Child

I'm taking a quick bread from podcast prep (I am soooo very behind) to write a quick post.  The world continues to be a $h!+ storm of depressing news and violence, and I am so tired of the people who polarize around these issues instead of mourning the loss of life and looking for ways to be voices of love and light in the world.  Thank goodness I also have friends who are eloquent and willing to speak their truths in ways that are loving and respectful because I spend a lot of time on Social Media these days for the office and it's all overwhelming.  So.  Today is Be a Kid Again Day, which I think sounds fabulous.  We should all try to find out inner child because children aren't born racist or hateful or wanting to polarize every issue, we have to teach them how to do those things.  Sigh.  So maybe we all need to access our inner children and get back to that place where people are people and we find them fascinating and wonderful instead of different and scary.  Or maybe we should just give ourselves a  time out and look at kid shoes:

Look at how cute these are!  I love that pink is represented, but so are lots of other colors.  My inner girl child likes more options than just pink.

 

Like red and white and polka dots!  Not that you'd see the polka dots once you put your feet in.

See?  Pink is OK, but I love the sparkly stripey rainbowy parts best.

 Yellow is always a good choice for Easter.  Or tiara tea parties.  Or Tuesday.

Plus you need tennies for climbing trees and stuff.

Adorbs.

Both this and the last one are perfect for if you want to be girly AND climb trees and stuff.

For my green peeps.  Your inner children need shoes too.  Alright, back to work and then off to bed.

Sunglasses

Today is Sunglasses Day!  Why?  Who cares?  I read a blog that claims that everyone looks hotter in sunglasses.  I'd that's mostly true.  Unless the sunglasses are awful and then the person looks kind of dorky, but generally speaking I would agree.  I wasn't sure what I would find in terms of sunglasses + shoes, but I did manage to find a few things:

I actually think these are both kind of cute.  They look like they're made out of material that doesn't breathe, but overall they're cute.  They're also Karl Lagerfeld and were applauded as being shoes "under $200."  Yeah, unless they're WAAAAY under that dollar figure these are definitely not that cute.  And/or I'm cheap.

 

Awww...baby sunglasses shoes.  OK, probably just glasses, but work with me, OK?  They're sparkly and cute and made me then search for Babies in Sunglasses, which you should definitely go peruse, because adorable.  I give you example A in the form of toddler Flower:

AND she was wearing adorable shoes. If I remember correctly she was about to go fishing with her dad when this picture was taken.  Most fashionable fisher-girl I've ever seen!

So, I implemented my new plan for getting my patootie (or patoosh as Laughter sometimes refers to it) out of my office chair today.  According to my phone (and I have no idea how accurate it is...one of these days I'd like to get a fitbit) I walked 7,655 steps, for a total of 3.69 miles, over the course of 72 minutes, and burned 264 calories.  Not the greatest results in the world, but still a million times better than what I've been doing most days of late.  Now I just have to keep it up.  I also drank over a gallon of water today, which is good as it was 8 million degrees.  I'm pretty much over summer already and it's not even July yet.  Sigh.

er-girl I've ever seen!

Aliens

The other night when I was looking for UFO shoes I also found lots of cute alien shoes.  I figured I would just do a follow-up post the next day, but then yesterday was Global Beatles Day so OF COURSE  I had to that that post.  So now I'm doing aliens because I have alien shoes and nothing terribly exciting happened today that inspired a different post.

I hate the giant thickness of this this sole and the style of the shoe itself, but love that the aliens glow in the dark.

 

Also glow in the dark.  Still not a shoe I want to wear, style-wise.

I don't think these glow, but it's nice that the pink-loving kiddos out there get some alien shoes too.

Heehee.  PB could wear these and be a Sci Fi nerd like mom and dad.

The claaaaaw!

I'm off to do more laundry because that's how very exciting my life is.

Global Beatle Day

Thanks to the Pinterest Friend and the holiday calendar I found out that today is Global Beatles Day!  

I definitely need to put this on my calendar so I can celebrate it on a yearly basis.  According to the GBD website:

GBD (founded 2009) is a day honoring and celebrating the phenomenon and ideals of the Beatles,  collectively and individually, for their gifts to the world including, but not limited to, their promotion of peace and love, of truth and youth, and of the expansion of human consciousness. More specifically, GBD commemorates the Beatles music – their promotion and expansion of rhythm and blues, rock and roll, world music… and especially their collective and personal exploration of a myriad  of musical ideas and innovations.

It then goes on to talk some about their song All You Need is Love, which is what I used as inspiration for this post, since I've already posted a ton of Beatles shoes.

It's hard to tell, but these say All You Need is Love over and over.  I like the colors, but I wish they were easier to read.

 

Here they are with their brothers and sisters in the line.

 I seen this show!  I don't have the shoes, though.

I have these socks!  Because the BFF is awesome.

The first pair comes in baby size!

Seriously, I need to have a baby and dress him/her in nothing but Beatles stuff.

Heehee.

I can't leave you without the song itself:

Frankly, with everything going on in the world right now we could all use, and give a little more love.
