That's Quite The Corner

The hubby and I have started the process of trying to find a new place to live.  Today we looked at a house whose address is on Blue Beaver Way.  I have so many comments.  I'll just leave them to you to make in your own head.  BUT, that's not even the craziest part.  The house is on the corner of Blue Beaver and Blue Squirrel!  The neighborhood streets were all a combination of color and animal.  We saw Grey Bunny, Black Bear, Blue Raven, and then, inexplicably, Lion's Den.  Someone screwed up with that one.  At any rate the streets totally cracked me up.  And the house was really cute.  It looks like we won't end up there, but I would have moved in for the address alone.  In honor of that crazy intersection I give you the following:

Baby shoes and slippers in honor of the day!  These all pretty much crack me up.  Please pray that everything goes well with the next phase of this crazy house journey.

Memory Lane: 2013. 2014. 2015. 2015. (back when I wasn't sleeping, so often posted after midnight, which meant last year got 2 posts on March 9th)

3 Things:

1. Hilarious street names!
2. Positive movement in the finding a house process.  I just hope the positivity continues and it all works out.  I can't deal with more stress and setbacks.
3. Seeing some friends we hadn't seen in awhile and getting an unexpected and really yummy dinner out of the deal.

Several people have sent me things recently, so I thought I would share them with you.

First, SKD sent me this article about the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and its collection of shoes from the past 50 years.  It's currently in storage, but the collection has over 5,000 pairs of shoes.  Sounds fun to me!  I went to the Met once, but it was so insanely crowded I almost had an anxiety attack (note to self, DON'T go on Thanksgiving weekend).  You should go read the article, but here are 2 of the pairs I thought were interesting:

You know how I feel about flip flops, but these are amazing.  I would wear these.  Or decorate with them.

 

And of course I love the flower power boots from the 60s.

The Pinterest sent me these the other day.  I'm not exactly sure why except that they are insane and hilarious and therefor awesome.  Who wears these?

 

She also sent this.  It's shoe are!  It's empowering!  Hooray!

Aaaaand she found nerd socks.  This was totally me as a kid.  Go outside and play?  OK, how about I go outside and read?  Does that count?  This are also a nice segue into the fact that today is Squirrel Appreciation Day. 

Is it me or do these look like bunnies with squirrel tails?  Whatever.  The PB could wear them on Squirrel Appreciation Day and be adorable and appropriately themed.

Finally, Mom sent this picture of Flower's adorable snow boots (with a shoe photo bomb by Laughter).

Finally finally, today is also National Hugging Day.  No shoes, just an invitation to go hug someone you love.  You could also hug someone you don't love, but that might lead to all kinds of awkwardness.
