Last night I spoiled both Boardwalk Empire and Downton Abbey for myself by googling stuff about them (stuff I thought wouldn't bring up spoilers). Ah well. It's probably for the best. I'm feeling kind of burned out on television shows and movies anyhow, so I'll stop Boardwalk Empire.

I moved to Nashville 2 years ago today. It's crazy that it has been 2 years. Wow! I'm still so glad I did it.

I went on a mini shopping spree yesterday. It felt amazing. I got some awesome and comfy pairs of heels. I'd gotten into the habit of wearing flats, but I wanna bring heels back.

Pics! Or links! I love shopping and living vicariously through the purchases of others, lol.

I bought new running shoes last night. They are the style I want, but kind of ugly. That's the only shopping I'm doing for a while. Damn bills.

My company has 3 pairs of SB tickets up for grabs. I entered the contest ... I find out tomorrow if I'm going.

I will not waste a SB ticket on my 6yo, the NFL Fan Experience is one thing, the actual game ... Nope !

I, too, am interested in seeing the new heels!

I watched all of Chelsea Does yesterday and loved it.

I bought stuff to make a quick, tasty dinner tonight since BF is coming over to meet DD tonight. Except... BF caught another cold over the weekend. So now I'm waiting for him to wake up from a nap and let me know if he's coming or not. I hate to go to the effort of a big meal when DD and I would be just as happy with leftovers.

I am having trouble with a friend and empathy/sympathy. I can't relate to what she's experiencing, but I try. I try to listen, I try to be available, I try to just bounce around ideas gently to keep her from spiraling into a frenzy. But it's exhausting. I'm always the one going, doing, etc. And when I open up or change the subject, it's shut down or circled back to her immediate concerns and safety. While I appreciate she cannot help her present situation, sometimes the person who gives has to take a break and I think that I'm going to start stepping back. I know my frustration with her not putting anything into the friendship is fruitless, even if it is valid, and it colors my attitude when she does reach out. I've talked to another friend and she's agreed to pick up the slack in attention/giving, so I'm not worried about my friend's safety. (sigh) I really hope my friend continues using the resources she has to get over this rough patch.

I've been trying to do more at night to keep the house cleaner/neater and it's really paying off. Last night I took the time and tossed two garbage bags of papers circa early 2000s and it feels good to get that stuff out of the house.

@pdx18, those are gorgeous. I have serious shoe envy right now.

[Deleted]

glitzyglow aww thanks! I went a little nuts with the floral print ones, but I LOVE them. I love having statement shoes so the rest of my outfit can be boring haha.

[glitzyglow]

@pdx18, the florals on the far left have especially caught my attention...I want them! Perfect for spring/summer!

[Deleted]

glitzyglow YES! They are my faves so far. I wore them out last night and they look awesome with skinny jeans.

@pdx18 those are super cute.
pinkdutchtulips good luck!

I need to start getting back into heels again. After my knee surgery a couple years ago I would cry when I looked at my heels thinking I would never be able to wear them again, so I threw them all away one night when I was super upset. I still probably can't wear 3 inch or higher heels, but I need to get some 1.5-2 inch ones.

I drank a bottle and a half of wine yesterday during football, whoops.

My face is breaking out so bad right now

Now I'm going to spend my afternoon shoe shopping online! Those are pretty, pdx. I particularly love the striped pair.

[arielroux]

OMG, I love the striped ones! I think I'm going to order them. Did you find they run TTS, or did you have to size up/down? I could just GO to Nordstrom, but my laziness is winning out.

They do! I do have narrow feet though and they do seem to be slightly narrow. 

[pinkdutchtulips]

Love the floral pump and the striped toe ankle strap ones ! I don't need the extra height #tallgirlproblems but I've learned embrace heels in the last year

Perfect! Narrow-footed sisters unite, lol.

I'll pretend that I drank half of the first bottle so you're good. I have been dying for a nice glass of wine or a margarita!

[housewife]

Today is my last day snowed in and I am so ready to go back to work. By remote access was down today, so I got a free WFH day.

I've been having the weirdest dreams about stbxh dating. I take way too much stock in dreams, so this is really bugging me.

[jojoandleo]

@pdx18- I am so jealous! I want all the ones in that first pic, but I think the striped ones are my favorite! With jeans and a cute top, those florals would be awesome.

[glitzyglow]

@32flavors, I feel you. I'm over dating and not active, but man it'd be nice to have an SO.
