put on your red shoes and dance the blues

(thank you david bowie...)

there i am, walking thru walmart, getting ONLY what was on the list (you KNOW how hard that is! way too easy to get distracted in that store) and i saw a rack in the middle of the isle with clearence shoes on it.

usually i dont go near those shelves because they only ones left are either purple miley sneakers (and never in my boys size! ha ha!) or grandpa canvas slip on shoes. (and chris still like the velcro ones) (im just sooo funny today!)

but i looked anyhow (i get distracted so easy by shoes!) and found these sweet babies!

and only $2!

how could anyone expect me to pass those up?

so i got something that wasnt on my list.

thankfully it was only $2.
my usual not-on-the-list find is much more.

(saving chris some money again!)

and no-these ARE NOT part of my birthday gift. these are because i am awesome. and because my other red shoes arent anything like these!
or $2.

must be the luck o' the irish!

while picking up a few necessities at walmart today (string cheese, candy, eggs, candy), i walked down the crafts isle and there it was...
aaaaahhhhhhhhh! (you have to sing that like a chorus of angels)
the big bite usually got for $40-50 bucks at the craft stores. and even with a 40%  off coupon, we are looking at $24-best case.
and i have really really wanted one for awhile. (even though i have the original crop o dile)
but today-they are marked down to $10!
and no i didn't buy all of them to see on ebay. i only purchased one.
and i think it will be part of my birthday gift.
and i might open in early to protest the fact that chris is headed out of town that week instead of celebrating me.
