that UPS man...
he's a sneaky one, really he is... He is almost as good at hiding my packages as the mail man. At least the DHL guy just tries to run me over, just like I try to run him over (fun game, really. He flies up my driveway, I fly down my driveway. Good thing one of us was paying attention. Surprise! It was me!) sooo.. guess what!
(clicky on all pics to embiggen in this post)
My shoes came and they are too small (!?!). Even better, there isn't another one to be found in any of the other stores in the district. Think that's going to stop me? noooo... David at my local Sears, apparently felt bad for me when he called me back to say there aren't any anywhere. He told me that he is one of the lucky to unload the truck tomorrow. He promised to call tomorrow if there are any size 8's on said truck. (he better or I'll bring all, count em' 3 kids, with me to the mall and they'll be high on sugar buddy!) If there isn't, I'm ordering a pair online. If that doesn't work. Damnit I'm calling every freaking store in New England, I want these bloody shoes. damnit. triple damnit even.
Lookie see my first socks of Socktoberfest! Whoohoot! I know they look cute in the shoes, but check em' without:
Kid update: Corra's feeling much, much better. I think it might have been the house call by Dr. Allysa.
Bryce is now sick, and Allysa is a bit sniffly. First cold of the season. At least it was this week, and not next week!
Notice I changed the blog around a bit? Moved the buttons a bit, changed the look of my blogroll. If you want to see the blogs I read click on the sheep to see them. Many thanks to MandyJ who resized the pic for me, and is back to blogging! Yay!

Sorry about the shoes. Good luck on finding the right size:D They are just right for hand knit socks.
Those sock are perfect. Now I am inspired to knit a pair. I have the book too.

Your socks look fab! Too bad the shoes don't fit, they looked so cute together.

Those shoes are great; I hope you get your size. The socks look so cute in them.
A question: How did you get your blogroll like that? I haven't been able to figure out how to put my bloglines blogroll up anyway other than listing them ALL!

The socks are beautiful! I have to try some of the Claudia's (it's not something I've found up here in Canada, will have to order online - something I am familiar with LOL). They really are awesome - nice job! Sorry about the shoes although you do sound like a woman on a mission.
