My back reminds me that I’m not getting any younger. However, I had a fabulous time last night with my book club. Someone even brought a cousin who automatically scooped up the 2 babies that were there leaving the moms to just have a nice time. I made chili, cornbread, and salad and there was a death by chocolate cake that was so very good. Add that to the cake my friend had for me the day before and now I have a lot of very chocolate cake left over. Look out, play group friends!
I also looked fabulous:
At first I wasn’t going to post this picture but then I figured this is as hot as it’s gonna get for a while, so why not? Please feast your eyes on my shoes: I have a weakness, and her name is Mary Jane. Remember that episode of Sex and the City in which SJP freaks out over a sighting of Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes? I am that way about them. Even though I never dress up or wear pretty shoes, it’s nice to have them, and say hello to them when you see them in the closet. I haven’t owned Mary Janes for several years, and I had forgotten. But when I went into DSW on Saturday these snappy red ones greeted me right away. I played hard to get, and shopped the whole store (of course…I mean, how often do I ever get to go to DSW alone?) to find that every other pair of shoe is a button-closure Mary Jane. I never say I’m trendy but this time…cutting edge.
Oh yeah, and we did talk about the book, which was The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. It’s depressing and terrifying and it makes me a lot more concerned about reusing plastic bags.
My WOO, or window of opportunity, has just closed. Brady is about to army crawl his way into a head-on collision with the coffee table.


Happy Birthday! Way to rock the book club.
FAB-U-LOUS ๐
Happy Birthday KTP! “More later”, I promise!
OMG – I am so going out to buy Mary Janes this week. And that is not a joke. I LOVE those shoes you are wearing!
Indeed, Mary Janes are IT this season..and look at you rockin’ that pair!
Happy Birthday again!
Brady is CRAWLING??????
You go girl!
Hot stuff! You’re looking gooooooooooood!
You look fantastic!! I love Mary Janes!
We need video of Brady crawling ๐
And I’m jealous of the shoes. I’ve been wanting a pair of red shoes with a moderate heel and I can’t find any. Maybe I need to visit the local DSW. It’s 30 minutes away, but looks like it could be worth it!
As gorgeous as you look in this picture, it doesn’t do the real thing justice! Happiest of birthdays…
happy birthday and you look so very hot!
Happy Belated Birthday!
I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately. Miss ya! Hope you’re doing well.
BTW, you look fabulous! I too have lots of love for w/Mary Janes.

OK, I see the shoes, and they are fantastic. Red Mary Janes? I would have bought them BEFORE shopping the whole store…
