Because I Haven't Had A Random Post In A While

Well, I haven't had a random post in a while, so I thought it was about time for that. Plus I know a few of you like posts that are random in nature, if you are one of those people this post if for you!

*Grey's Anatomy~I just don't know what to say about that show, besides depressing! I had never seen the show up until last year. One night last November I decided to give the show a try and I watched an episode with my mom, sister and friend Meg. The one I watched a guys wife died, needless to say I cried the entire hour. It hit way to close to home for me, I never watched it again. Then I thought to myself tonight to give it another shot. I mean EVERYONE I know watches this show so I thought I would too. OMGosh!! It was horrible from the start. I think I sat with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat the entire two hours. The end where each doctor said a little something about grief and living was by far the worst part of the entire show. I had tears, the throat lump, and goose bumps all going at the same time. I kept telling myself to go into another room and not watch, but I just couldn't pull myself away...stupid show! I haven't totally made up my mind if I will watch the rest of the season.

*I think I may have a start to a high heel shoe problem! There I said it! I have never in my life worn high heels before. Maybe a little stump of a heel, but never high and for sure never anything "wild and crazy" Then one day last month my friend Collette and I were shopping and she was looking at the most amazing pair of shoes ever. I told her that I didn't even own a pair of heels. To which she responded, "All of us needs at least one good pair of heels" That was the start of my high heel shoe shopping. That was also the day I got the amazing pair of snake skin heels to wear with that purple dress for Sarah's wedding. They were originally $75 and I got them on clearance for $10. Then a few weeks ago I was with my mom shopping in a local department store and I found the orange pair. Just for giggles I tried them on. I wasn't going to buy them, they were WAY to orange for me, let alone the fact I could seriously hurt myself in them. Then I put my little foot in them and fell in love. They were crazy expensive at $125.00. I however only paid $20. Yes, I am a deal shopper. Then last weekend I was with my sister when I stumbled acrossed the adorable giraffe type print shoes. Again, so cute! They were $70 and I got them for $20. With in the last month I have gotten all of these shoes for a grand total of $50! Pretty sweet deal I'd say because the total of these shoes off sale would have been $270. However I have a confession to make...each and every pair kill my feet!! I've been walking around in them at home, but can still only wear each pair for a short amount of time. Guess heels will take more getting used to then my favorite old pair of Nike Flip Flops.


*Coffee, up until the start of this summer I hated the taste of coffee. I mean I seriously could not stand the taste of it. Then Sarah started putting a little coffee in my hot chocolate. Then Jenni got me drinking bot the hot and iced Caramel Mocchiato's from Starbucks. I love the iced ones...they are so yummy and full of caramel. Then the other day I was in the drive through and noticed something called a Pumpkin Spiced Latte.

One word...YUMMY!!! It tastes just like a slice of pumpkin pie!

*Ok, who watches Dancing With the Stars? Please tell me I'm not the only one who watches this show...please! I have watched it since the first season and I love it. I keep telling myself if I watch long enough I will end up having a body like the professional dancers...yeah right! I DVR'd all three nights this week so I could watch them all in a row. I think there are going to be a lot of shocker's this season. I was totally blown away by Kelly Osborne. She did an amazing job in both dances she did. I almost had tears in my eyes watching her dance the Waltz. I can usually pick the top two by watching the first night and I'm usually right. However I had a hard time picking who I think are going to make it into the top three. Maybe after next week I will get a better handle on this season. I also thought the tribute they did for Patrick Swayze was wonderful. I loved the last dance that they did. I'm glad they recreated the ending of Dirty Dancing. I can't wait for Monday!!

*One year ago today was my D&C. It's hard to believe that if everything would have worked out I would be a single parent to a five month old baby right now. I remember my greatest fear going into surgery that day was having a dream about Shawn and him not being there for me when I woke up. I don't remember dreaming about Shawn during the procedure, but I do know he was there with me.

*Have any of you had this......

If not you should run to your store and get some. It is the best ice cream ever! On our honeymoon Shawn and I went to an apple orchard and at the orchard they made their own apple pie flavored ice cream. It was wonderful. Our honeymoon was the start to my love of apple pie ice cream. It only comes out in the stores from September-December, so you had better eat it up while you can. Every year when it would come out Shawn would bring it home as a surprise for me and the two of us would eat a few spoonfuls out of the container every night before we would go to bed. My mom also knows that this is one of my favorite ice creams, she got it for me last year and I didn't eat any of it, not one little bite. I just couldn't do it, it was the first time in eight years I would have eaten it without Shawn and I couldn't bring myself to do it. Last weekend my mom again saw it in the store and bought it again. I saw it in the freezer the other day and my mouth started watering for it. I think maybe this year I will give it a try and see what happens. I think Shawn would maybe want me to eat a few bites of it :) Lets see if I can eat it without crying.

*If everything works out I will be going to Youngstown next week for a quick visit. The football team has two home games back to back, so I will be able to go to two games. So excited for that. At the one game I will also be presented with the other award that Shawn won. I will be going out onto the field and everything. YIKES!! I hate when all the attention is on me, but I will do it for Shawn and I will be honored to go onto the field and receive the award on his behalf. I'm sure I will come back with tons of pictures.

*Holy Goodness...I was just watching TV and they said there is only 90 days until Christmas....that is such an over whelming thought, not sure I can go there again. Christmas number two without Shawn....ugh!

Phew....that was sure a lot of random thoughts I had. Hope I didn't bore you all to tears. Seriously, go to the store and get that ice cream...you won't be sorry.
