Total Physical Exhaustion.

I bought new shoes today.  And 2 new tops, one of which I've had my eye on for weeks and was lucky to snag at the Vintage boutique that I love.  That was today.  Carter came alone and we spent the afternoon together.  Strangers made him cry, the wind made his boogers crusty and his Tombly Boo fell in the mud.  But he had a really good time, and I'm glad we spent the day together!
Now, I have started a new job at a bar in Stoney Creek.  This was my second week there, and I am making peanuts.  No money at all.  It's pitiful.  But I love my boss and the people that come into the bar all the time and I get to wear whatever I want! (I am a really big fan of not having to wear what employers tell me to wear.  Big fan.)  Anyway.  Yesterday I worked for 13 hours straight and got dicked around by drunken assholes who didn't want to pay me, and I had an anxiety attack in front of my boss, her boyfriend, and the seedy clientele who, very shortly after, left abruptly and without tipping me.  Yesterday was a horrible, horrible day.  So I know I haven't been around much the last little while, but I need to relax right now.  Just for a while.  And then I will be back.

Wellies!!!

I bought my Wellingtons a couple of years ago and have just been waiting for them to be cool.  And they are!  Especially Hunter wellies.  So if you still haven't gotten yourself a pair of rain boots, now is the time - they are still trendy and you can buy them almost anywhere.  Factory Shoe outlets have a bunch of them for a really good price.  And if you still don't think that rain boots can be awesome, just look at how Kate Moss rocks the wellies:

Winter Boots.

shopping for winter boots right before Christmas is a nightmare.
Not only do you just not want to spend that money on an ugly pair of shoes but it's a purchase that takes hours.  And a million different places.
I don't spend a crap ton of money on shoes unless I genuinely love wearing them.
And when was the last time you saw a nice pair of winter boots?  They always have that ugly rubber toe.  Always.
So after about 2 hours at Mapleview last night, we headed over to Factory Shoe (why pay full price for shoes?) and I bought my first pair of Tims.

They're just like this, but they are in that classic Timberland yellowy orange colour.  They are gangsta, and I can't wait to rock them in the snow later today.
