sneezing rants and sailor pants

I have been sneezing all day long. Well, since I got up at 11:15 anyways. It's driving me CRAZY! My eyes itch, my nose itches, my throat itches, then my eyes start watering... then comes the sneeze. It's insane. I took some sudafed. It's not helping much. Fortunately, I'm not running a fever anymore, and I'm not miserable. I was scared I was going to end up lying miserably in bed for a whole week like dear, poor Laura has. Hopefully I'll be all better pretty soon. I have things to do.

What with everyone's being sick, there's been a lot of lounging in front of the television, watching pre recorded stuff from the DVR starring our favorite actors. Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra, anyone? ;-) Loves em. So, anyway, last night we watched Anchors Aweigh, which was pretty great, in my own humble opinion.

Also great were Kelly and Sinatra's nifty Navy uniforms. There's this imaginary dance scene with Gene Kelly and Jerry Mouse of Tom and Jerry fame, and during the whole sequence I'm sitting there thinking, "those are awesome pants. I want some pants like that!" I know. I'm weird.


It's doubtful I could pull it off (or afford most of what I found), but I did a little search for the modern equivalent anyhow.


Yep. White sailor pants are just pretty cool. However, I do have some wide legged cuffed navy pants that are pretty awesome too, so I'll be content with those. :)

Um. I guess this was really random, but I don't have anything better to do, so I think I'll take my leave, take a shower, and wear my navy pants to make me feel better.
Have a happy weekend!

I made a record number of sales yesterday.
That's pretty cool.
Not that I'm suddenly rich or anything, but I did sell 4 pairs of slippers yesterday.
And then some. Yay! Keep buying stuff, people! This is fun! lol

Guess what?
I want to buy some boots. I've been looking at boots all day.
It's fall now, and the boots I've worn with everything for the past 4 years or so are rather tired now. Considering my price range, I'm sticking with ebay and the like.
I've looked around Etsy, too.

Call me crazy - I thought I hated 80's fashion, but these ankle boots are so cool. These, and the pixie kind, with the little piratey fold-down cuff. (like these!!) Black boots are cool, but they're too dark for me. So, I'm leaning towards grey or taupe.
And chocolate brown.

Oh, 70's boots are good, too. Like these on the right.

I was looking for red mary janes the other day, and discovered that I LOVE Steve Madden shoes. Particularly these gorgeous red leather ones with the super-cute strap and button... ah.

But I can't afford Steve Madden, so I'm still looking. :D

So, if I have it my way, I'll have a nice pair of boots that go with everything, and a cute pair of red shoes to go with everything else. If I don't have it my way, I'll ... wear my scuffy old boots with everything, and wear my tennies with everything else. lol

I love shoes. :)
