KD let me go shoe shopping last night without his supervision. Usually, that is not a good idea. Not because I would spend too much, but because sometimes I buy things that are just weird and I end up hating them. KD is my voice of reason. However, he needed to work on his CMA application (now that he passed the exam, he has to apply with this lengthy application which needs to be submitted before we go on holidays next week). So JK and I went to find me some sandals. The last time I bought sandals was about 7 years ago. I usually buy black or brown shoes because I generally only have about 4 or 5 pairs of shoes at a time. But this time I took a risk and bought red! I figure it's ok since I wear a lot of red, and it's summer, and it's fun. I probably wouldn't buy red winter boots though. At this point I don't think I will regret this, but you never know. The sandals are really comfortable. I learned how to do the flowers on my toes from this lovely new blog that I discovered but usually don't have time to read.

I've decided to put the tiny butter dish in with the black and white giveaway. I may go get another one to add to the garden giveaway.

Today I'm still working away at sprucing up our house. It's ridiculous that every time I turn around something new needs to be painted. I now need to touch up the bathroom vanity because the baby-proofing latch has scratched the paint. Sigh. We have decided to leave the half-bath updates until we get back because KD's application is more important at this point. But I'm thinking of painting it all white, with accents of tan and brown. What do you think? Oh, speaking of paint colours, for Jill and Heather, who asked about our bedroom paint colour, it's "Wainscott Green" from General Paint. I had to run downstairs to check, since it was painted by the previous owner. Lucky for you she left the paint can for us! I'll show you the rest of the bedroom once KD picks up his clothes. Every day he comes home and says "you didn't put away my clothes yet?" I say "no, I'm not going to". Now that makes me sound like a bad housewife, but you should understand that KD is dreadfully picky about how is clothing is put away, so the most I ever do is fold it and put it in his basket. That said, I am also very picky about how my clothes are put away. So we just each do our own. Can't wait 'til JK is old enough to put away her own clothes too!
