These Boots Were Made For Walkin'

These boots were made for walkin'

And that's just what they'll do.

And one of these days these boots

are gonna walk all over you...

(are you singing along with this???)

LOL

Actually, what I want to walk all over is the floor of my house. 

But it is under re-construction and the main level is chaos.

I know what it's like to live in a beehive, and honey it is NOT the bee's knees.

For weeks I have had people swarming my house before 8am.  

It's practically given me hives as I comb through trying to find things.

(OK, I'm done with the bee thing)

We are adding on to our house in preparation for MIL moving in.  It is interesting getting Spouse and 4 kids out the door and get ready for work with all these people in and around my house.  

Decorating for Christmas became futile and has come to a stop because everything was getting dusty and such.  I also have to be real careful getting ready in the morning so I don't run into a worker with nothing but a towel on (I don't know who was more embarrassed).  LOL

Spouse says I'm a Trooper. 

Yeah, maybe a Storm Trooper!

Then its just moving MIL into the house and getting ready for Christmas and...

I need a new pair of boots.  And I decided that I deserved them.

It's Stress therapy 101-Go shopping! 

And wear your favorite color green with your favorite necklace and you will smile through it all.

This cardi is great except that the cute little slit pockets have gold sequins......on the inside!

I am going to have to "mod" it this weekend so you can actually see the coolness.

Why would you put the *bling* on the INSIDE of the pocket??
C'mon designers.  I'm going to have to fix this sometime.



I look like "Lise the Peg Leg Pirate". ha

Buckles up top and down low.  Just like in the J. Crew catalog

Here are the ones from J.Crew.

I stuck this one in from yesterday because it looks like there are balls orbiting my head. This is what happens when I am thinking, no light bulb goes off, but little balls orbit my head.

Hey, don't forget to come back and invite your friends.

Monday we are excited because we have a really cool guest blogger.

Really cool.  I can't wait.

A Warm Coat That Doesn't Give You The Cold Shoulder!

 I am at the pharmacy, strep has run through the kids and this is about my 50th time to CVS.  But, now I'm getting a prescription for me because somehow the laws of the universe broke and now I have it.   Anyhoo, he hands me my prescriptions and I ask "Does this need to be refrigerated?".  Our pharmacist looks at me and replies "No, Mrs. Tyner, they're pills".  Duh.

I have the mental capacity of a circus poodle about now, thank you.

The good thing is that I "happened" to find one of my Christmas gifts and immediately put it on.  It is freezing and I *need* it.  It is also about the most adorable, well fitting coat ever in the whole wide world of coats!

I have long gorilla arms that are only good for hugging people and playing volleyball....NOT finding coats.  By the time I find one with long enough sleeves, 3 of me could fit into the rest of it.  I do not particularly like puffer coats either because I feel like a penguin and walk like one too.   

 Then I found this coat at Coldwater Creek! 

YAY!  It is warm & sleeveless, but I don't have a cold shoulder.  It has adjustable straps on the side that are ever so cute and the color is dreamy.  The most important thing is the fur collar. I am a sucker for faux fur!!!  This is me yesterday when I stopped by to pass on some germs to Joy and take her picture for the blog.



Joy laughed because she said my hair is the same color as the fur collar! lol



 This is also one of my favorite hats which I tend to wear when am sick because it hides bedhead!

The coat is current so go buy one!!!  They are luscious!

Just in case you need the coat also....because you do....here is the link:

Now on to today!  I am back at work and wearing green and chocolate brown!  I love the colors together.  For some fun I added my kitten heel shoes from Target which are not only comfy, but so chic!  WinWin!

 I am feeling a bit "Mad Men" today which is totally me.  But almost every piece came from Coldwater Creek (and on sale right now). I also threw on a fur collar that I "stole" from another sweater.

A vintage pin holds it in place.

I don't look happy!  Probably because I just had to take another pill the size of a Prius! 

Isn't there some type of size limit? 

I can hear the chemists now:

"Do you think we made these pills too large?"

"Why no, Mrs. Tyner can fit in a Prius, so I am sure she can swallow one"

(and I do own a log-splitter in case I need to cut them in half)

 Way cute tights and shoes!
