I guess the most exciting part of the weekend for a huge part of the population was the premier of The Walking Dead. For everyone except me it feels like. I swear I am the only person that I know that doesn’t like it, even mother loves to watch it. Please tell me that I am not alone in this. I rewatched the new Outlander episode while it was playing in silent protest.
I finished my Halloween diy and it turned out ok. It could have been better but my glue gun crapped out on me. I’m pretty sure Roo broke it and just silently returned it to the drawer hoping I wouldn’t find out. I’ll try to get my pictures organized and something posted about it this week, you know……before Halloween 😉
Christmas, Christmas you are sneaking up and scaring me. I decided to kibosh the whole Playmobil hospital for Merle plan. I was going through and purging the girls toys when I realized what a god damn mess they are once you take them out. There are so many little tiny pieces that it becomes almost overwhelming to play with. My next plan is Calico Critters because what kid doesn’t love animals that wear clothes and live in houses? I’m pretty sure that she loves animals more than people anyway so I’m sure it will be a win.
Do you know what a great way to end the weekend is? Your husband bringing home Pho for dinner after being away, and some chocolate he got sucked into buying from the kids standing in front of a store.
So these are the Gucci Brixton loafer dupes that I bought above. I love them. They fit great and do not need to be broken in. I wore them straight out of the box (with a sockette on) and walked around for several hours doing errands and had zero issues. I thought for sure I would need a bandaid or two but they didn’t bother me at all. The leather is extremely soft which is probably why I had no issues, and they fit true to size. I have an average width (maybe slightly on the narrow side but I never get narrow width shoes), and I wear and 8 and ordered an 8 with a perfect fit. I mentioned that I was having issues finding them in Canada and then I found them randomly on The Shopping Channel. Now with the easy pay, in three more equal payments they are fully mine 😉
The Most Accurate map that you will probably ever see and you probably won’t like it. It kind of puts things into a strange but cool perspective and shows how conditioned we are in to believing that the maps we see everyday are realistic representations.
Books from 1923 – 1941 are now liberated. Libraries are now allowed to scan and make available books from between these dates as long as they are not being actively sold.
A couple more books to add to our Christmas lists are the newest Harry Potter Illustrated Edition (Azkaban) which is Roo’s favourite book in the series. And they are also releasing an illustrated version of Fantastic Beasts coming soon. I imagine that one will have beautiful illustrations and is a definite buy.
