Sorry DSW but I'm waiting for the reviews


Maybe I should have taken the day off to go to the grand opening of DSW.  I received two Facebook messages about it.  The Mayor is at the opening and I bet he doesn't appreciate shoes as much as I do.
Part of me is hopeful that it will be as good as the one in Syracuse but there is another part of me that is scared it won’t be.  Talking to one of my co-workers yesterday and we came to the conclusion that part of the allure of places like DSW is that going to Syracuse was always such an event.  You had the excitement leading up to your trip, the planning of when to leave, where to eat, where to shop, checking out websites for sales before going and spending a couple of days with fabulous friends.  It just isn’t the same taking a trip to Trainyards.

DSW Canada has the saddest web page.  Flats and running shoes.  Where are the heels and the bling?  They should have asked me to design their web page.  I would add these beauties (which I have in cream and red).  My next career?
I suppose that we could make it more of an event if we tried.  I could make a map of our route to pick everyone who was coming up, we could check out the DSW website (do they have one yet?), we could get up at 6:00 a.m. to start our journey although we’d have to spend an awful lot more time at Starbucks than we usually do until DSW opened.  We could plan our wardrobe so that we were wearing our most comfortable clothes all while looking stylish, then plan where to eat lunch and what to eat.  Would there be enough time for road trip bingo?  I wonder if there is a floorplan for the store so we could decide ahead of time which areas we wanted to visit and in what order.  The road trip General in me needs to have a battle plan ready.
Entertain Children!!!  Hahaha...I know a few women that would totally be grossed out by this.

Ok ladies, we’ll have to make a date and start planning this trip to DSW…if the reviews are good of course.  Have I mentioned how I miss my beautiful shoes lately?  Still not able to wear them but am hopeful it won’t be too much longer.  A reason to buy some new Spring shoes…being able to try them on J.

Which one do you want to be Cindy?  Steph?  I want to be the red guy in the back (Animal?)

We had a great visit yesterday with a long lost relative.  Hope that he doesn’t wait another million years to come by again because we miss him.  Good to catch up on the family gossip even though it isn’t a juicy now as it used to be.

Charlie Brown: I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn't have picked this little tree.

Oh but Charlie Brown you picked a fantastic tree and now my office looks so Christmas-y.  I could use a pair of gold sparkly shoes just like that one too. My day is going to be interesting I'm sure.  I got up late and, thinking I had an eye doctor's appointment today, drove in and was quite thrilled that I was only 15 minutes late getting in.  Turns out that the appointment is next Monday.  Now I get to pay $20 for parking for no reason.  Sigh... I got on the elevator with a woman this morning who had a Guitar Hero box and chocolates and cookies.  I told her that this looked like the best way to start a week and she agreed.  I wonder if I could convince the powers to be here that we should also have a "band day".  I could totally be a back up singer. After a fabulous wearing shorts bike-run yesterday with Jonathan, I was making dinner and went to open the oven door to check on the delicious chicken that was cooking and the door handl...

Do birds yawn?

That is my question of the day.  I saw a seagull standing on the Rideau Canal wall this morning and it looked like he was yawning.  Now I'm curious. I forgot to show you the shoes I wore yesterday.  It was a fabulous shoe day.  After an initial crack (and even I was a tad worried for a moment) my foot settled into the shoe and was quite happy for the entire day.  We won't discuss how it felt last night....that's a secret between me and my Advil. Like the shoes say "my feet looked fabulous". Today's shoes are a favourite from our last Pointe Clair shopping adventure. You just have to love living in Canada.  The weather was so different this morning than it was yesterday.  Yesterday I was sweating 15 minutes into my ride to work and this morning it felt like there were icicles on my fingers.  Lovely for biking though.  So many pretty sights to see this morning as well.  Seeing the hot air balloon in the sunrise was so pret...

Oh but I want these.

The boss is back from the UK today.  I wonder if he brought me back these gorgeous shoes?   I think I deserve them since it was my 6 month anniversary here on Monday, I'm a loyal, hardworking (most of the time), fun, friendly, engaging, reliable, fashionable....well, obviously I could go on but I'll stop...employee.  Maybe I should have put that in an email and sent it to him before he left London. Yesterday I followed a woman to the bus stop and I marvelled at how she seemed to be walking while trying to keep something between her knees.  Had to be that because why would you take such tiny little steps in life if not for that.  Is that a new inner thigh workout.  Maybe I should try it because mine could certainly use some toning.  Plus, really, it would take her a week to walk a block.  On top of that she had on a skirt that went to her ankles (so you couldn't actually see if there was something between her knees) and the pointiest...
