Blogcation gumbo

I'm working from Chicago next week for three days. My schedule is crazy packed day and night, and I won't be parenting my kids so I'm taking a blogcation. Before I leave, I thought I'd share some gumbo.

* I bought my very first pair of real high heels last week. Yes, at the age of 36. I am 100% certain I will bust my ass while clomping around my house trying to walk in them. Here they are in all their blue suede goodness:
* SYTYCD finale show last night - BEST EVER. Except for the winner. I never agree with the winner. Ever. But then I never vote. I'm like the 75% of our population that doesn't vote then complains about the outcome.

* On Wednesday, I officially hit 500 miles run in 2010. I ran 81 miles in July, the hottest July on record here. Wait until it cools down, I am going to be a running machine.

* Mommy is learning Photoshop to take her photos from good to ba-boom!

Have a great blogcation!!

Would you be willing to post the before and after shot of that photo? I would love to see what PS can "do"!

Dude, if you put a picture like that at the end of your post, us poor mommies are going to be so distracted by how much we want to reach through the monitor and nibble on your adorable little boy that we will completely forget about anything else you said in the post.

Adorable shoes! You should post a pic of you in them with the whole outfit on sometime!

Have a fantastic time in Chicago!

As always, WOW! on the photo! Nate is SO cute!

Awesome shoes!

The photo of Nate looks awesome - I so need to learn how to edit, but I know I need to work on my SOOC shots first.

Have a good blogcation!

Love those heels! I would kill myself in those though. I am the klutziest person alive.

Say hello to Chicago for me. I always feel so nostalgic when we re-visit--ahh, such sweet memories.

Enjoy your blogcation! Love the shoes! I love high heels, or just a little heel; well just about any heel! LOL.

Eva said...

Adore the photo. And the shoes. Without being a spoiler... Who did you want to win? I was actually happy about the winner and voted for the first time ever.

those shoes are lovely! and if you can run, you can surely figure out how to walk in heels. Just remember that you *have* to walk slower than you do in flat shoes and keep reminding yourself of that. That's what helps me.
