this and that on a tuesday

I woke up this morning thinking, I bet all of those people out in the blogosphere are really just itching to know about my fabulous day.

I mean really, the excitement is over underwhelming. 

So here it is in a nutshell, because I don't want to be the reason for you losing any sleep.

(A lot of this actually took place yesterday, but I don't have enough excitement in just one day)

Went to the library and picked up this wonderful book to read.

It is Louise Penny's just released book in the Three Pines series. I have read all of the rest, so I am so excited to get started on this one. (I wanted to start off with a bang, because it really is exciting)

I decided to go through the bags of clothes I tossed into my car in North Carolina a couple of weeks ago. Mostly old tee shirts, etc. but in the middle of one I found this.

As you can see, they are a bit wrinkled and musty smelling, but they were my mom's baby clothes. So I am thrilled. A little hand washing and ironing will have them back in wonderful condition. 

Okay, that was exciting, but now on to the really good other stuff.

While going through the bags and checking out my closet I realized my fall wardrobe is a bit lacking, so I went shopping. It takes a lot to get me clothes shopping. I don't know about you, but I hate those fitting room mirrors. 

I did come away with a few basics, but couldn't find any shoes or boots that I like without selling one of my feet to pay for them.

I already have lots of turtlenecks so I can mix and match.

Next is a self pedicure. I realized that my toenails are less than spiffy and even though I am now wearing closed toe shoes, I may want to go and check out a few more shoe stores today.

Then it is off to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.

You may notice that I have hung the bags on the doorknob so I can't possibly forget them. Okay, I have been known to take the bags off the knob, set them on the floor, and walk right out without them, but that only happened once, maybe twice, or.......
