Happy Birthday Ben!




Dear Ben,
Hey buzz! This post (and let's face it - this blog in general) is for you! This last picture cracks me up. I have some more (better) ones to scan in as part of the great Scanning Old Family Photos project, will try to do that tomorrow.

Hope you have a great birthday. See you next weekend! Love you pal.
Love,
Sister

Tube Sock Weather!

Even though it's still only September, I'm going to go ahead and proclaim today the first day of the Tube Sock season.
Yaaaaaaaaaaay!


May this season bring you much warmth and comfort.


My name is Laura, and I'm a Tube Sock Addict.



If you say tube socks a bunch of times it starts to sound weird.

New Music / New Shoes

MUSIC

I need some new music. Everything in my iPod seems stale. I picked up 1500+ new songs earlier in the year and figured that would hold me for a while, but I'm ready for more!

In an effort to keep my car safe and not-broken-into, I removed the two visor cd holder thingies a few months ago. Now my car is fine, but my ears are bored.

I've been saying for the longest time that I'm going take a bunch of old cds into Vintage Vinyl and try to sell them back so I can get some new ones, but it's probably time to go ahead and really do it.

You know when you get a new album and you love it and can't get enough of it and you listen to it every time you're in the car for months in a row? I want that again. Last time I had that experience was with Tonight: Franz Ferdinand. I still love that album but we need some time apart at this point.


SHOES


So I've worn the same two pair of shoes to work every day for several years: Black Doc Marten boots in the winter, and blue Doc Marten Mary Janes the rest of the year. I try not to think about the fact that people at work who don't know me possibly refer to me as the Blue Shoe Lady. There was a Red Shoe Lady around here a few years ago, and it kills me that I'm her now, just a different color. This year I've thrown in a third pair, a cute black and white checkered flat. The boots are perfect for the winter because I can wear white tube socks with dress pants and no one is the wiser.

Anyway, it's time for new shoes. For some reason I have a mental block when it comes to making any kind of shoe purchase. I am not one of those girls who doesn't have room for all her shoes in her closet. Here's literally all the shoes I own (plus 3 pairs of flip-flops and some sweet fuzzy slippers).


Still plenty of room, if I can just bring myself to pick out and buy a pair!
