Mama Needs a Brand New Pair of Shoes: Part Deux

I ended up taking back two of the five pairs of shoes I bought, as I came down with a case of buyers remorse, so this segment will only be three long. (I know you're all broken up.)

Anyway, these are actually pretty difficult to walk in. I wore them to a wine tasting and then to a bar for 2 more beers and I was not even close to being tipsy yet I walked back to the bar like I was trying out my sea legs on a pirate ship. Why a pirate ship, you ask? No reason, except that pirates are awesome and when I think of a ship, I think of pirates... simple as that. But these shoes look cute, and that's all that really matters right?

Mama Needs a Brand New Pair of Shoes: Part One

These are one of 6 pairs I have bought in the last 5 days and I'm trying them out on you, internet. In case you aren't up on the lingo these are wedges and if you are colorblind, they are gold. I love them, but you may have a completely different opinion. What do you think?

I told Tracie that I was learning to like red wine. This is the definition of jumping in with both feet. I whole heartedly endorse the Burgandy Room's wine flight of their favorite reds.

I do not recommend their $20 tray of fancy, stinky cheeses. Unless you like the taste of gym socks.

I spend more time rationalizing and apologizing for not updating my blog than I do actually writing for it. Does anyone even check this thing anymore? Anybody?


*Crickets*


I thought not. Anyway, things have been busy around here lately as my grandmother passed away almost 3 weeks ago. My family's world has been turned upside down, and to be honest, I don't really want to talk about it on the internet. (That sounded bitchy, and I kind of don't care.)

I got to make a trip to good ol' mother Miami last weekend with a bunch of great college friends and we had an amazing time. There were very few people people we knew still in school, but all of the bar owners, managers and lifer bartenders/bouncers were still there to welcome us back with hugs and shots. We felt a little old at time as the current seniors were freshman when we graduated, but after a few steins at the german bar, we didn't really care anymore.

Highlights:

- Almost getting kicked out of our hotel for noise violations

- Lisa giving some dude a whole bunch of attitude, then trying to strut away only to wipe out and plow into a trash can.

- The late night we went to where some kid almost flushed his pot because he thought Abby, Lisa and I were undercover cops. (Thanks for making us feel old.)

- Brad pretending to elbow Elena in the fact, only to really make contact and cause her nose to gush blood.

- Steinkeller and Bagel & Deli

- Swimming in the hotel pool and hot tub in our underwear after hours of copious drinking.

- Going to bed at 6 a.m. (or later) only to wake up before 11 a.m. Whitley and Hardy drank all Saturday and got cross-eyed drunk while the rest of us took naps and ate dinner.

- Everyone being sick this entire week because we're old as hell.
