I'll Always Have My Heels!

Growing up I never was found of high heels, I mean why would women soar up their feet with blisters, potentially risk embarrassing themselves if they were ever to..dare I say... FALL, and to experience the inevitable, uncomfortability that heels bring! Then I met a dear friend of mine, Lena, who every time I saw her, she was wearing heels! I couldn't understand how she was able to walk around in heels ALL DAY - EVERY DAY!

Having to look nice for work, I started wearing heels and to my amazement I was able to go 8 hours with them on! Perplexed that I didn't have blisters or my feet were not about to fall off I tried to figure out why and how I was able to get away with this! Was it due to having expensive heels rather than the Payless sort or was I just getting use to them?

I realized it was because of all my running (mainly backwards running) that enabled me to live in my heels! Strong legs and sturdy feet arches quickly became my best friend!

I wore heels all the time that I became known as the "chick in heels". My daughter's friend even told her mother once, "Mom if you were just to wear heels with those shorts, you'd look like Darice!" How cute!



Well as most of you know, sadly I was informed by a doctor that I can no longer wear heels! What's worse, is that I can no longer run! After 4 months of enduring pain in my right foot, I finally had several MRI's done and a couple doctor visits, the result?

Arthritis!

WHAT?@?!?!@?@!? I'm too young for that!

Apparently NOT!

Yesterday to cheer me up, I bought these cute heel pictures from Bed Bath & Beyond and hung them up on my walls. I am not giving up on my heels!!! LOL

To those of you that have been so empathetic, I wanted to thank you all for your support, especially to Emily who sent me a virtual heels gift!

You guys are the best!

So now I can go to sleep every night and wake up every morning smiling at my heels!



P.S. I will confess, that I know I will at times sneak in my heels, I was made to wear heels! I mean come on, they can't just sit in my closet all lonely! That would be a crime!

My Morning Greeter!

The answer was: THE DUCK!

Can you believe that a duck was actually at my living room door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about a shocker!

Hmmm, what to make of this!

It was so much fun reading everyone's goofy answers!!!!



I wondered if it was hungry wanting food so I tried to feed it bread but it just left not interested in my charities! Geez you'd think it would have been grateful for my jesture! : )

Are You Really Reading?

Ok so I wanted to test you all by seeing who is actually really snooping around my blog! I am surprised by all the emails I get with your "comments" about my blog but no one seems brave enough to actually speak their mind on the blog! Hmm, scary cats! HA HA.

So I thought I'd wake you all up by seeing what you all think about what I found this morning!

I was up late last night (as usual) returning emails and working and yes Adrialyn I do eventually get some sleep!!!! But when I woke up this morning and walked out of my room into the living room I was pleasantly surprised by what was greeting me! I wasn't sure if I was just dreaming it from a lack of sleep, but sure enough it was no dream!

Can you guess what greeted me in the morning?

I will give you some clues... but you have to guess (yes this means you MUST show yourself by leaving an answer under "comments" at the end of this post. Who will be right????

1. My son

2. A lizard

3. My daughter

Bea and Brent

On May 2nd, 2008 Bea and Brent Acs were married on this beautiful private beach in Anastasia Island in St. Augustine. Ok, so I have to tell you all that this was one of the first weddings where I could more than just a salad. Bea and Brent had a RAW FOOD wedding thanks to Almond Blossom Cafe who catered it!!! Can you believe it! Not only were there all fresh raw drinks, but they also had a RAW WEDDING CAKE! And yes, it was incredibly delicious. Even those who have been past critics of the raw foods said they couldn't get enough of this yummy cake!

I had so much fun at this wedding... I am so lucky that I get to so many neat people that sometimes I become great friends with the brides! Bea has become a great friend of mine in no time! Bea, shhh don't tell anyone of our recent dinner adventures at Carrabas and what I ate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ; )

The waiter swore to me that he would never tell anyone what I ate that night! Hmm, if my secret gets out, I'll know who to hunt down! (lol)

Bea and Brent, congratulations you guys! Can't wait to do your baby photos... are there kids in the plan any time soon???
