Sunday School

The Hubby and I have been crazy busy at the office since I got back from Montana.  Which is good, but as we don't currently have internet at home, and I'm busy at the office, I haven't been posting much this year so far.  Oh well, busy at work is good, hopefully it will turn into lots of good stuff.  Right now I'm hanging out at Starbucks for a bit before going home.  I taught Sunday School this morning.  I'm always a bit awkward at church as it is, given everything from the past few years, but this morning was extra-special-awkward because I set the alarm off.  I  got to church, and went into the main building to get the key for the classroom, which is in an annex.  I went in and thought I heard a car alarm go off, but didn't think much of it.  A few minutes later the pastor's husband came to drop their daughter off for Sunday School and told me I'd set the alarm off.  All I could do was stare blankly and say, "um...what alarm?"  This is what happens when you spend 7 weeks in Montana.  They've had problems with break-ins in that building before, and apparently had another incident right before Christmas, hence the alarm.  It was an innocent mistake, but I still felt like a dork, especially when it got brought up in announcements during the service (just in passing, not in an accusatory way, but still, most people at this church don't even know me, now they just know me as the moron who doesn't know about the alarm).  Sigh.  I know it's not that big of a deal, but I was feeling weird already this morning and then the universe had to take this opportunity to remind me that I'm so very not perfect.  I need to look at shoes.



I typed in "Sunday School shoes" and for some reason saddle shoes were quite prevalent.  I'm not entirely sure why, but they make me smile, especially the polka dot ones.
 

Awww...this is more what I was picturing.


These are pretty much what I wore as a child, either in white or black.  I would have probably been wearing knee highs with them, though. 


Maybe not this particular pair, but this is closer to what I might wear to Sunday School now.  Or at least several years ago.  I don't wear heels much anymore, and my shoes this morning were totally boring.
 

I like this, but wish it didn't have the lace panel.  I love the color, though, and definitely needed some blue to cheer me up.

I'm off to do laundry (woohoo!).  I hope your morning was less breaking-and-entering-y than mine...

BFF Birthday

Happy Birthday, BFF!  Awww...I love my BFF, and wish she was closer so we could have celebrated together.  You can find a brief summary of our relationship here from her birthday post 2 years ago, and last year's post here.  The BFF has had quite the past year, with both her and her hubby getting new jobs and moving to a new town.  She's doing well, though; settling in and getting the nephew settled and all.  I shall now celebrate her birthday the way I celebrate everything.  With shoes.  And this year I'm going with shoes based on her name.


Wow.  This is quite horrible.  Who do I speak to about naming this the same as my lovely BFF?


She has a whole line of kids shoes!


Same brand as the first one.  Still weird, but slightly better.



More kiddo sandals!


And of course we have to have some purple in here since it's the BFF.


Sparkly purple Mary Janes!  How celebratory!



Purple wedding shoes.  But also ballet flats, which is totally appropriate as she took ballet for many years.

Happy Birthday, BFF!  Love you!

5th Day of Christmas

On the 5th day of Christmas my true love gave to me 5 GOOOOOLD RIIIIINGS!  Ba dum bum bum!
 
 
Did you know that I have an assistant?  OK, not really, but the Pinterest friend is at it again, this time finding me stuff for my 12 days of Christmas posts:
 
 
It's not gold, but it's a shoe ring!  Man, this thing would stick really far above your finger.  You could totally clock someone with it.  But that would be wrong.
 
 
It's not 5 golden rings, either, but it is a gold, shoe key ring.  It's cute, too.  I'd use this key chain.
 
 
My back is still bugging me (grrrr) so I knew I wasn't going to wear heels today for church.  The Bean borrowed my saddle shoes for Halloween, and mom just sent them back with our Christmas gifts.  I saw them in the box last night and thought, huh...I'm going to wear those to church today!  I probably looked like I was wearing bowling shoes with my clerical and dress, but I don't care.  Lots of people still said they were cute.  I shall believe them and ignore any other opinion (sorry, mom).
 
After church I changed into the day's Christmas socks:
 
 
These are from the preschool director, either last year or the year before.  She has the same pair, so we are sock twins.  I love the polka dots.
 
I don't wear gold jewelry, so don't need 5 gold rings.  For this 5th day of Christmas I am "watching" football with the hubby.  Hope you're doing something fun!
