Walking on Wednesday - I got my new shoes on

-
Well, not yet, but first thing tomorrow I sure will.

I finally decided to invest in a proper new pair of walking shoes. Well, technically they are sneakers, but hubby hates that word, so just call them my walking shoes.

It had been at least 3 years since I bought new sneakers, errr walking shoes. I noticed the treads on mine were a bit worn, well, nearly smooth actually, and thought I should really get some new ones because maybe that is why my knee has been hurting me. 

So off I went this afternoon to the mall with my daughter for some new walking shoes. Is it bad I bought them the first store I went in, the first pair I tried on? Well, that is how much I love these shoes. 

I put them on and said, "Wha??? This is how proper walking shoes should feel?" MAN what I was missing.

So tomorrow morning, I will wake up, have my coffee and check my emails, slip on my new walking shoes and new sweatpants, and probably have the best walk I have had since we moved here. (I have worn those same tired shoes each walk here, a year and a half now) 

It will be the first time I have walked all week. I managed to walk every day last week, but this week none yet. Now there is no excuse, and I am looking forward to it. 

But tonight, I am too tired to take pics, and too tired to think about walking. So will do my first post without pictures, and save that for tomorrow.

Night all, and here's to a wonderful Thursday, with my new shoes on.

    I hope you didn't think I was making fun of your new sweatpants before. Makesme think really, I'm due for some new ones (I have these fleece ones I LOVE but it's been too damn warm this winter to snuggle up in them). How far do you walk every day? You're inspiring me. I wind up at the gym but I wouldn't mind some fresh air...or rather, how long do you walk for? And do you listen to music or to the birds?

    Don't worry, a post without pictures is okay - I do it myself.

    Glad you could get a new pair of shoes. I need a new pair myself - the ones I have still have plenty of cushion and tread, but the top is falling apart.... I hate shoe shopping, but I'll have to do it...

    Thank you all!
    Sandra, I didn't think you were making fun of me, I really a excited about my new sweatpants. lol.

    I walk at least a half hour, sometimes 45 minutes, when I walk. There is also usually 2 to 3 hills I have to go up, and down, on my course. If I could remember to load my mp3 player on my computer, and charge it, I would listen to music, but for now I just listen to the birds chirp, and all the dogs in the neighborhood bark. There are a lot of dogs in the neighborhood, lol.

    It is cloudy today, and I don't want to get my new shoes wet, but I am going anyway.

    Have a great day all, and Sunfire, good luck finding some new shoes.

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

-

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money ...

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma...

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEK...
