Remember when blingy shoe clips were in? Hint: big sparkly clip on earrings work great for that purpose. You can usually find interesting ones at thrift stores.

I have a surgical date--Thursday, October 7th at 10:30 at Charlotte Presbyterian Hospital.  They gave me the option to boot me out later that day, but I have insisted they keep me overnight.  I am the Complications Queen!  Both of my major surgeries I was rushed back in the day after I was released. 

Working right now on a pair of ugly beige Merrill sport shoes that are becoming sparkly turquoise, pink, lime green and purple.  WAY less boring and quite a conversation piece.  Took a before picture and will post it with an after picture soon.

My vampire I deleted off facebook wrote me a huge apology letter and "wants to put the past behind us."  I'll have to think about that one.  Maybe the prayers I have been saying for her are working?

Soundy, you are so funny--Cancer, Vampires, Pirates and Sparkly Shoes are hard to put together.  Only us wonkyheads, right???

October 7th is also the 6-year anniversary of my first AN surgery. I guess that's a good day to have surgery?

Good luck!

I was kind of reading in my sleep when I was here and totally got confused and had to re-read several pages until I caught up and caught on ...some days I wonder how I make it to the end and not get lost ...

hope surgery goes well for you and I would insist on over night too ... both day surgeries I had (carpel tunnel and hysterectomy ) I ended up back at hospital with issues ... they are in such a hurry to get people in and out that care issues sometimes is not taken care of before release

I only have one pair of gray New Balance walking shoes (boring) and one pair of black Nike sandals suitable for walking  in water ... you make me want to go out and buy shoes so I can decorate them ...

been working on tattie bogle design ....last year they were old ladies ... didn't participate ... this year as pirates I figure it will be easy ... I think I will make mine female and name her Captain Deb ... a good luck charm for you ... they are suppose to keep away the baddies .... we have prayer rocks ... a tattie bogle seems to be perfectly logical to me
