waaa, waaa, waaaa...
earlier today I was whining about having to run my errands myself and some boohooing about not having "staff". Ha, next time I do that, just tell me to shut up, will ya? geeesh. While driving to the post office, I realized that it's not the actual "running of errands" that bothers me, it's the interruption to the creative process that I resent. It's when you're "in the flow" so to speak and things are coming together, almost like magic. Then WHAM! you remember all the "running the business" type stuff that needs doing today and there goes the creative process. It's having to switch over to the left brain that's so hard to do sometimes.
Well, serendipity intervenes and I found myself right next door to one of my favorite indulgences. No, not chocolate, although that's another, and no, not the wine store either. I'm talking about the GOODWILL store...yaaaaaa! Heck, I'll do my part to save the planet...I'll find new uses for cast-offs and orphans....and for just $3.00, I found THESE!!!
BRAND SPANKIN NEW! And anyone who knows me knows that one of my mantras is "never enough red shoes". So today, I learned a little lesson. Do your own chores and you will be rewarded. OK, I just made that up, but, it's good to keep in mind when you start boohooing about having to drive to the post office. Maybe there's chocolate, or wine, or RED SHOES to be discovered!
Love the shoes! I don't think I've told you that I'm a shoe-a-holic, along with a purse-a-holic!(and color-a-holic) And based on Denise' post,I will have to add thrift shops to my "things to do in Vegas"list.

Hey Brenda, what a great find! those second hand stores are the best, here in Vegas, we find all sorts of cool stuff....even with the tags still on them! good to know you are "doing your part" to save the world....in more ways than one!

We're on the same page this week, Brenda! I just had to stop what I was doing (about a dozen things at once) in then studio to run to the fish market for dinner. My hubby would be kind enough to stop, but it really is out of his way...and I begged him for a grocery stop yesterday with the promise of fresh fish today.... I was thinking the same thing - I hate being interrupted when I am on a creative roll. AND, just yesterday, I posted a photo of my feet on my blog!
