I'm dragging my feet on it for some reason! I love the shoes and haven't found anything I like as much...they are just different and too cute! And when I wear heels this high, there is normally a stumble or a fall. It's just the nature of the beast...LOL You kill me...that is hilarious...bull-legged!! It has been a crazy month and I have still have a couple of pounds left to go, maybe that's why I haven't committed to buying. :-) I hope you are planning on a wonderful holiday and that your month has been going well!

No ma'am, not yet. I've been looking, but it is hard to find a substitute when you have your heart set on something else. :-) Since we've lived here, there has been snow several times...in 2009 there was a snow at Christmas (we were driving from Alabama in it) and in 2012 there was snow at Christmas. And you are right, no one here knows how to drive in the snow and ice, including me. I refuse to drive in it. :-) Love and hugs!!Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-18379813689025570092016-12-14T16:33:15.410-06:002016-12-14T16:33:15.410-06:00Ba ha ha…I’m so right there with you!!!

I appreciate you as well and think the world of you! I have been scarce around the blogging world but am hoping to really get back into the swing after the first of the year, so I will be around a lot more!
