These are just a few of the name brands of the shoes I wear. I adore shoes. There was a movie once that made fun of the girl who had so many shoes. She enjoyed displaying them on top of her dresser so she could gaze at them overnight and her boyfriend made fun of her for doing that. Ever since, my husband has always referred to my necessity of putting my shoes on my dresser. Gee. It’s been since March 25 since I purchased new shoes… The other day, hubby said either some of the shoes go or he goes. I’m still trying to decide. I asked him yesterday if I could more time to think about it. TOPIC CHANGE

The day is slightly cloudy. So, of course, no satellite internet access. I have to fool around, shut the system down. Unplug, unattach, disconnect; re-connect, re-attach, re-boot. There is nothing at their online site to offer assistance about the quality of service. My darling husband called to point out our ever worsening service to Hughes.net last night. Customer Service disconnected him. TOPIC CHANGE

Did I tell you the other day…after dumping all my bushels of pinecones into the burn pit, we took our laptop out, pulled up some lawn chairs, and had a fire? We watched “Blade” starring Wesley Snipes & munched on M&Ms with hot, buttery popcorn until a cold breeze became too much for us and we abandoned the out-of-doors. Doing this was like going to a drive-in movie (for those of you old enough to recall) and oh so very romantic to sit out under the stars holding hands and watching the small screen as the fire's flames danced just feet from us. A warm toasty feeling all over. You know; it doesn't cost an arm & a leg for romance. TOPIC CHANGE

When I signed into MSN.com the other day, they had attempted to re-vamp the site. I absolutely DETEST that. The site set-up is familiar to me; I don’t have to search for what I want. YAHOO does this all the time, too. Please guys, leave well enough alone. TOPIC CHANGE

Greg came home yesterday and helped to wash Isabelle. The dog is morbidly terrified of water. She tolerates standing there getting drenched if we soothe her the entire time. Afterwards you can just see that she is happy to be clean, she jumps, runs, rolls in the grass, twist, and SMILES she is so ecstatic. TOPIC CHANGE Late last night, I was working on a digital layout and inches away from being complete, I lost the entire thing. And because I had not saved it during creation, I had to start all over again. Agh~The frustration. The agony. The horror. Remember the magic word-

s a v e. TOPIC CHANGE I try to tell people I love them as often as possible because you never know when somebody will not be around. Or maybe YOU won't be around. And I'm not talking just about death. I'm talking about distance, time, etc. Whatever. Remember Patrick Swayze's character in Ghost? He couldn't use those 3 little words.... so he said "Ditto". My favorite phrase to use is Hogs & Quiches. Meaning=Hugs & Kisses. A friend says "Bacon & Eggs, right back atya!" Everybody always has a way.
