OK, I admit it; this is going to be a crazy blog. The only thing these topics have in common is that I have enjoyed all three of these things this past week.
Of shoes,…I have never been Imelda Marcos. I have a few pairs that I wear OFTEN, and I wear them out. But I bought new shoes this past weekend. Actually, I bought a pair, and a dear friend bought me another pair (same shoes, different color.) They are sweet little flats – with ruffles across the toe. They look good with jeans or a dress. And they make me smile. This is a HUGE change from the men’s shoes I wore when I was at my biggest, and my feet were constantly swollen.
Of rides,…the new (used) car is back from the shop! I doused the inside with Febreeze, not once, but twice, to get rid of the musty, old car smell. And then, I went out…just because I could! First, I went to a football game…
Of football,…I love football. I like it better in the cool autumn evenings, but even on a hot day in August, I enjoy watching a game. Yesterday it was a middle school game. My “adopted” son (remember the “parent for a day” blog?) played last night. Our team won, and yes, that does make it even better. The cheerleaders weren’t horribly annoying. Life is good!
After the game, I treated myself to a lemonberry slush from a local drive in restaurant. This is a treat that I used to have frequently, but I believe this is the first since my surgery. It tasted so good! Part of its appeal was that I was able to DRIVE to the restaurant and get it! And unlike the person I was BEFORE surgery, this time I just got a medium size. I sipped on it throughout the rest of the evening. And I didn’t need anything bigger. I probably will not go out driving every night. But it was nice to be able to do that on my first night with the car.
Shoes…a decent ride…football – life is just too good!
