Shopping!

I managed to find some new shoes for me! Ever so useful Michelle sent me a link of cute shoes. I field tripped to Nordstroms this evening and bought a pair. I also bought some new nail polishes at Nordstroms Rack. Nordstroms Rack freaked me out. I wandered through the shoe department and wanted to shut down and sit in a corner. There was such chaos everywhere, and I live in a pretty chaotic world on my own and this was worse. They have all sorts of beauty products organized in a not horrifying fashion so I was able to pick out some pretty & fun nail polishes. I love nail polish. So then headed to Nordstroms. I am not a big fan of fancy schmancy stores. I feel intimidated. Although sales people should really love me in general. I don't take up too much of their time. I know what I'm looking for. And if I've done enough research that I'm actually in a store to purchase, chances are unless in person it is hideous or of a terrible fabric or something, I'm buying. So I bought these cute shoes...

I then field tripped to a bookstore and actually bought books. I haven't bought a new book in quite a while, and I bought 4. I'm very excited about them...

One Man's Wilderness is the one I'm most anxious to read. I have such a love for Alaska, and a book about a man who builds his own cabin and all that seems so cool.

Next Big Thing is a total trash novel... chick lit.

The Reading Group is a chick lit book, but more like woman struggle or empowerment book not like Bridget Jones. A movie way to compare... Bridget Jones vs Steel Magnolias. Both chick movies, but different.

And finally hypocrite in a pouffy white dress. A memoir that seems to be something I can totally relate to.

I'm fairly excited to start some new books. The last one I read was Wicked while I was on vacation. After reading Wicked, I want to read Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister.

And as a random side note before heading to bed new book in tow, I fully expect to be taken to Disneyland when I'm 81 and celebrating Disneyland's 100th anniversary. I may be in a walker or a wheelchair or hooked up to an iron lung, but I'm riding Space Mountain. :)

You can relate to a memoir about a Jewish girl who grew up on the upper Upper West Side?

I read Wicked. It was...interesting.

Nordstrom Rack has mondo shoes, but it's always horrifying to sift through.

We also bought Mirror, Mirror, but it wasn't as good as Wicked. I definitely want to read Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister.

And you have to be hard core to take Nordstrom's Rack. You definitely aren't ready for it yet.

I want to see you hooked up to an iron lung in Space Mountain...

"Now watch your head, sweetie. It's dark and you don't want to get hurt."
