unfortunately i have a horrible cold that won't go away, UGH!!! not to mention, i can barely breathe through my nose, UGH! hence the Jaye's kleenex box below, ha! ha!
anyway, i posted on my facebook page, but i decided the throw a pity party for myself and ordered the following leather boots over at lands end: 
i just hope they aren't too big! my feet are odd, some shoes i am a 8.5, others 9 and even 9.5 in others --what's up with that?!?!?
anyway, they were a really good deal! lands end has a discount code for 40% off the highest ticket item and FREE shipping...offer good thru 12/13!
i have never ordered online from lands end, how is their shipping? are they pretty fast? slow? standard shipping [which is FREE] is 4-7 days...i am hoping sooner than later! ha! ha! they are a part of my christmas present...so a long as they arrive before we head to grosse pointe for christmas!
speaking of christmas, what are some of your favorite childhood traditions?
let's see, some of my favorites include:
- annual breakfast with santa at the detroit yacht club
- visiting santa over at jacobson's in the village ...still miss shopping at jacobson's!!!
- on christmas eve we usually had prime rib dinner. followed by christmas eve mass, of which i always enjoyed listening to the church choir sing christmas songs! back home my father would ALWAYS read us the night before christmas.
speaking of the night before christmas, i can't believe i actually found a photo of the book that's been in my family for many years. i know my parents have two copies, one for myself and one for my sister. i have yet to claim my copy! ha! ha!
...to be a child again!
oh well, it's saturday night and i am home dealing with a horrible cold! JOY! JOY! JOY!
have a great night!
