Weekend woes and new shoes

I have to admit that as a blogger who reads other blogs (obviously) I've been very intrigued with all the talk about a certain pair of shoes. I'm sure I don't even need to tell you which ones because it seems that everyone is talking about them.



Well, seeing as we have several trips coming up I decided it was time to have a good supportive pair of flats and not just cheap, cute ones. I kept looking at said flats and just couldn't get excited about them. So, I decided to peruse one of my fave brands and found these adorable flats.

I've mentioned before how I'm not big on logos and brand names on things; it's just not my style. I've looked at these before and when I saw they were on sale I decided to get them. I hope I like them; I'm pretty sure I will.

I also found this cute little bag, also perfect for traveling (and that will be its main purpose) at Marshall's for $32! What a deal! I took my mom and stepmother in law to Home Goods (do you all have Home Goods?) and we decided to run through Marshall's real quick. I never find anything at these stores and I only browsed the bags since I new after my recent trip I needed to replace the travel bag that had seen its last trip. I had been looking at wristlets, but love the idea of having my hands free with this one.

The rest of the weekend was kind of a roller coaster. Our little dog has been sick, or rather not eating and being really mopey. Not like herself at all. We've been dog sitting a not so well-behaved dog and I'm pretty much to the point I'd like her to leave. (Does that sound awful? I think it does, but the dog doesn't even know her name, gets out of our yard and the well of hospitality has run dry. Sorry.)

My in-laws have been visiting and there has been mucho tension between my husband and his father. They are very different people and visits are never without stress. Also, I hate picking up after other adults. I'm sorry, but I do. If you are old enough to get yourself a beverage or snack you are old enough to cleanup after yourself. Period.

They drive back home today and the dog goes home on Wednesday and my husband and I are both looking forward to some peace and quiet. And, we're really hoping the little dog gets her appetite back soon.

Phew! I need another day off! How was your weekend?
