Oh wait...on second thought, please take your foot out of my shoe!
What the heck? I love you TJ (as in Maxx) but after two strange shopping experiences in a row, I am officially taking a self-imposed (and probably short) break from you.
Why? Here's how it went down. I am in the shoe section and spy a great pair just my size...and you know, at TJ's that's not always the case. I kick off my right shoe. I don't kick it far. It is on the floor, still in my personal space. I put the "new" shoe on my right foot and turn to my left to take a few steps...make sure it feels good. I turn again to return to my starting position, and...
What do I see, but a total stranger attempting to shove her right (bigger than my) foot into my right shoe. The one I turned my back on. I am a bit thrown off. I admit it. "Excuse me, that's my shoe." She replies, "I know, I like it. Where did you get them?" I felt like saying...
Who do you think you are? And, why is it necessary to put on my shoe to ask that question? But I didn't. I was polite. I think I even smiled. "Texas." That is where I got them. And the only thing that made me feel a little better as she removed her foot from my shoe, was that it appeared to be a clean, freshly pedicured foot.
Where did I go after I got my shoe back? Home...straight home. I did not pass GO. I did not collect $200. I went home and sipped a diet Coke while I put my feet up on the ottoman and admired my own Texas shoes!
And yes, I know, that is my left shoe in the photo :)
A boy, Stone--thanks to Kendal & Cliff. Isn't he delightful? He's always on the move...doesn't want to miss a thing! He's such a happy little guy and gives such good hugs and kisses. And...
then a girl, Chloe--thanks to Tanner & Charee. Isn't she yummy? She is always smiling and has the cutest dimples! She also has a sweet, deep voice and loves to jabber...and I love to listen!...

YESTERDAY---A few days ago I found this vintage male shirt form at an antique mall. I had a blast performing a MANnequin makeover. The stand that "he" came with is what caught my eye initially...I just loved it.
