big foot shoe shopping adventures
So I'm one of Julie's bridesmaid's (8.8.9 wedding) and the footwear code is sexy strappy black heels for shoes. Sadly i wear women's 12's (perhaps a bit on the wide, or they just don't scale women's shoes as they get towards the extreme waterski side of things) and I will tell you its easier to find a 5 1/2 than a 12 these days.

kitty powder bombs!
My evening is complete, I shall keep throwing the Newt, the tabby who always wants to escape, into the yard, into the snow, and then letting the dog jump her so that she's buried and runs screaming into the house.
