Smurfy

Here's a thought.  Let's not talk about me tonight, mmmkay?  After the last 2 nights I think it's time for a break from my blah blah blah.  The Holidays Calendar tells me that today is Global Smurfs Day!  Why?  I don't know!  But the link says it's always celebrated on the Saturday closest to June 25th.  Any of you Smurf aficionados out there know if there is significance to that date?  I haven't seen any of the new Smurf movies, but I used to watch The Smurfs on Saturday morning cartoons (in black and white for part of my childhood, thank you very much).  I had Smurf books and at least one little smurf figurine.  Which one?  I don't remember.  It was a boy.  That's all I can tell you.  But not Papa Smurf.  Let's look at shoes!

I think I could do with out Gargamel on the tongue but I appreciate the thoroughness of this shoe.

Is this Smurf running away?  Why is he so happy about it?  Maybe he's just going for a picnic?

I know there are women out there who love this style of shoe, but I am just not one of them.  I like the material, though.  Papa Smurf looks so happy!

Ooh, I love the red!

I love Mary Janes, you know this.  So I love the shape of this shoe, but the Smurfs + the pink + the polka dots + the black straps, heels, and soles are just too much.

I love the yellow shoelaces!  You know, when I was a kid Smurfette was the only girl Smurf.  Which was weird.  And a little creepy.  Oh wait, let me try that again:  In MY day we didn't have all of these high falutin girl Smurfs!  We had one!  Her name was Smurfette, and she was just Smurfy, thank you very much!  Heehee..I feel better now.

I'm off to bed with a book, I think.  TTYL!

PS - I THOUGHT I'd already done a Smurfs post!  At least I have a tiny bit of memory left.  And I only duplicated 2 of the pictures.

Smurfs

I've been working on a project for the hubby to help him out at work.  It's not hard, but it is time consuming.  Last night I was determined to go to bed early, after I finished just one more quick section of the project.  I figured it would take maybe five minutes.  An hour and a half later I was finally done.  And of course I was absolutely stubborn and had to finish it.  At any rate, this is how I found myself watching The Smurfs from 12-1 this morning.  Not the new movies, but the old cartoons I used to watch as a kid.  It was a very nostalgic night last night.  I also watched Looney Toons, and I may yet do a post on that, but tonight is for smurfs.

The last one is quite the shoe, huh?  I do love a theme shoe. :-)  Growing up we had a black and white TV.  I can't remember when we got a color one, but I do remember watching cartoons in black and white every Saturday with my brother.  Sometimes we could talk my parents into cold cereal.

Look at how cute and snuggly we were!  We also had a wood stove, so if we got up before Dad the house was pretty cold.

Tonight I am determined to be in bed BEFORE midnight, regardless of the project.  Wish me luck!
