Follow me... *insert Uncle Craker song here*

So, I'm finally on twitter... Although, I'm no better at twitter than I am at blogging...

So, I was "tagged" to go to the 4th file under "my pictures" and post the 4th picture out of the 4th file...

This is a picture of my dad and I, right before he walked me down the aisle. There is just something about this picture that I love. It is one of my favorite wedding pictures.

Now, I tag everyone reading this... that's right, everyone. Lemme see your pictures, ya'll!

Don't sell your sole to the devil...

Now, I loves me some fashion, but often times it's more in theory than in practice. Heaven knows, I've ran to Wal-Mart sans makeup in sweats with hair a mess more than a few times. Heck, I even occasionally wear t-shirts to the office. Yet, I gush over the adorable dresses in fashion magazines, and watch "What-Not-To-Wear" only to turn around and commit the same sins they just scolded against. (Hey, I know that oversize hoodie is doing nothing for me.)

However, even I have boundaries... namely, my shoes.

That's right, fashion will win over function every time when it comes to my footwear. Fashion trumps comfort... In some cases fashion trumps moderate to severe discomfort.

Often times my husband watches in horror as I apply numerous band-aids to my feet to protect against the blisters that my adorable peep-toes are undoubtedly going to create. He tries to understand why I wouldn't just throw away something that causes me enough pain that I beg him not to park more than a block away from our destination. My answer is simple, These shoes are SOOO cute!

So, when I recently saw someone wearing these, I just thought... Those must be those shoes that people have to wear when one leg is longer than the other.

Then, I happened to hear the shoe wearer tell her friend, "These are my new weight-loss sneakers!"
What??? You are voluntarily wearing shoes that look like they are made for an anime cartoon character???

I don't know if it's a case of New Year's resolutions, but the influx of these shoe sightings is alarming. Today at lunch, 20% of the patrons were wearing them!! (So what if there were only 10 people in the store.) Even more alarming is that these shoes run about $250!!!!!

Ladies, $250 will buy you AT LEAST 2 nice pair of stilettos. Wear a pair of those for a day and tell me that your calves aren't killing you the next morning. Now, that's a pair of shoes that will give you a workout AND won't make you look like Herman Munster's sister.

Just forward my next 3 paychecks to Target...

I'm so excited!!! Orla Kiely is coming to Target!! She's one of my favorite designers. I had some big plans to make a bulletin board using some of her fabric and some other small projects... that was, until I found out her fabric retails for around $70.00 a YARD!!

So, imagine my delight when Target announced that her line of housewares, orginizational products, and decor will be in target stores around the first week of February. YAY!!!

To You and Yours...

Merry Christmas from the Glazes

Sneak Peek!

I'm waiting to post our "Christmas Card Picture" until after they're sent out, since most of you reading this will be recieving one. (Provided, I have your address!)

Tyler and Hillary took some family pictures for us during T-giving in Chix. I'm going to post a few of my favorites. They did such a good job! Thanks Uncle Ty and Aunt Hill!

Crazy Legs McGee

Ever since AG was "in being" she's been a kicker. I blame her wild appendiges for my crippling rib pain during pregnancy. She had a leg up by her face when she made her entrance into this world, for crying out loud. If she's in the baby bjorn, she looks like she's doing an aerial number from "Riverdance". She now kicks you in the chest and when you say "Ow!", she laughs in your face. You can hear her kicking to keep herself awake through the monitor at bedtime. Changing a diaper has become a three-handed job. One thing's for sure, this girl's got crazy legs.

Today, she introduced the world to "Crazy legs" by insisting on being pushed around in her stroller like this...

(the slipping off "shoe-socks" add to the crazy effect)

This pose elicited a response from everyone that passed by, whether it was a slight smile or a "My, she looks comfy" comment. AG was quite pleased with all the attention and took a break from chewing on the harness straps to give the on-lookers a slobbery smile and occasional coo. (The camera recieved no such break from the strap chewing, obviously.)

Some Light Dinner Conversation...

I love our chats over smashed peas and applesauce...

My little stinker...

Finally, Halloween pictures!!

Avery wasn't too sure about her costume anyway, but it ended up being 80 degrees and the costume was made of fleece. So, it didn't last long, but here are some pictures we snapped before she roasted.

Can I get an opinion?

I love the late 90s Coldplay... not the current Coldplay. D and I had a conversation about this a couple of weeks ago. Somewhere circa 1998-2000 my musical taste stopped evolving. Don't get me wrong, I still like an artist here or there, but out of my all time favorite albums, at least 2 of them are from the late 90s. "Parachutes" is easily my favorite album EVER. "Rush of Blood to the Head" was excellent, but not as incredible as parachutes. "X&Y" was a big fat disappointment to me. I didn't even bother to buy it on itunes.

My questions are, first, Are any of you Coldplay fans? If so, What do you think of Viva La Vida? I can tell you I'm underwhelmed with the title track that is currently played on the radio. So, should I bother checking it out? What do you all think?

* if you are a Coldplay/Chris Martin fan, you should definitely check out a song called "Your love means everything pt. 2" by Faultline (feat. Chris Martin). Magical
