In my usual scan of various news sites and blogs this morning, I've already come across that May is the National Burger Month, National Mental Health Awareness Month and National Masturbation Month. Sooo..........yeah. Busy month, it seems! (One of those came from Bobby Flay's twitter feed............I'll leave it to you to guess which one it was. lol)
Things have been busy busy the last week! Not much time for projects and that sort of thing I'm afraid. I did manage to grab The Most Awesomest Sneakers in the world though. I'll show them to you but, first, put on a pair of sunglasses.............ready?..................
Oh yeah, baby!
The color isn't *quite* right there though...........
Yep. That's more like it.
If you think I don't plan on wearing these with my equally-eye-searing neon orange capri jogging pants..........YOU WOULD BE WRONG. (That's me - standing up for the unloved colors with PRIDE.) They are light as a feather - literally. Just 7.6 ounces! I've already put about 12-15 miles on them and it's two thumbs up all the way. Sorry to be so EXCITED but I literally can't remember the last time I had a pair of 'regular' sneakers. Ages and ages and AGES. I usually go more for the hiking/trail type shoe or sandal. Plan on wearing them out with the walking. Zoom, zoom, zoom!
Got those when I was SUPPOSED to be shopping for wedding clothes. My bad. Easily distracted shopper here. *waves arms* Did manage to get an outfit though and be properly dressed in the end.
The wedding was in Boston, which was a treat as I haven't been to that city in yearsssssssss. Easily over a decade! The ceremony was at the Public Gardens by the Swan Boats which was pretty but, New England being New England, the weather wasn't ENTIRELY cooperative. (It was about 50 degrees and SUPER windy. Brrrr!) Strangely enough, I have *ANOTHER* thing to go to this week in Boston as well. Funny how that works! Haven't been there in ages and now I'm going twice in one week!
I managed to score three tickets for a Red Sox game this week so we have that on Friday. FUN! I've been to a ton of 'farm team' games (grew up within a stone's throw of McCoy stadium) but I've never been to FENWAY. I don't actually watch baseball or, uhhhhh, know any players names or anything but I always LOVE going to see something live regardless. I'm weird like that. There's something about the 'realness' of it that I find immensely entertaining, while on tv it just bores me to death. lol
HUGE THANKS to Carol and Lori for the gifties that I received from them in the last week!!!!
I won this adorable little bunny chart from Carol..........
And the yarn was a wonderful surprise from Lori. (Which I immediately caked up and started working on, as you can see.)
THANK YOU BOTH and *MWAH*

Sweet Jeeez, where are my sunglasses! Them shoes are bright! And what...neon orange capris? I guess people can't say that they didn't see you. You're being safe! Sounds like Boston was a blast even if it was a little chilly. Congrats on your fun gifts!

Boston sounds fun, although a bit chilly.

Oh, I love Boston--my sister lives there! Such a great walking city... When we went in October it was chilly, too--and VERY windy.
Such fun shoes--I think they fit your fun personality, Melanie :) Glad you like the chart--it really is adorable, isn't it?
