1. I'm looking for a pair of slingbacks, kind of like these, but I want them in green. Not "moss," not "neon lime," just a nice, muted, light green. I'd even go faux croc texture, if the color works. Maybe a lower heel, too, but that's not a deal-breaker.
Yes, I've already perused DSW, Macy's, Von Maur, local department stores, and all of Zappos, but I'm not finding what I want.
Suggestions?
I just bought these over the weekend (in dark brown patent)... in a department store... on sale. Love them. They're even "comfy!"
2. Stayed in a hotel over the weekend.
First night= peaceful and blissful. (imagine a celestial chorus sound here)
Second night= apparently, elephants stayed in the room one floor above us. Elephants or maybe toddlers who ran and jumped A LOT.
I could go into this huge tirade about how annoying it is when people don't consider anyone else but themselves, not even for a second considering that someone might want to be asleep at 11:30pm, and how I make my kids be super-dee-duper quiet whenever we're in a hotel, and since when is "having kids" an excuse to be rude and insensitive, since I have also lived through those ages and know that you CAN make it work... and let me say it was tough, but I also learned to request rooms on the first floor and away from people who might be disturbed by the slightest noise, etc....
...but I won't go off on that tirade. Nope. Did I mention that the noise started at 9:30pm and continued through the night? And that I think it stopped around 4:00am, but then started again at 7:30am? And did I also mention that, even though I am not THAT person, I also called the front desk, because it was so loud? Which leads to...
3. What is up with parents who insist on taking their young children to restaurants after 9:00 pm on a weekend and then allow said young children to run around the restaurant screaming and knocking people over... and then said young children start crying loudly because they're tired and just want to go home to bed...
...did I mention they annoy me? and why the hell did I spend so much frigging money on babysitters when my kids were young so that I could go out for some "adult time?" Apparently, that wasn't necessary?!?! Is it just me? I mean, are babysitters out of style? There are safe babysitters where I live-- as in boys and girls who take babysitting classes and even CPR classes to get certified. I just don't get it.
Gah. I am that old grumpy lady who hates everyone, aren't I? Well, at least I'll be wearing some sweet shoes amongst all the hatin'.

Is there room on your porch for me? We could rock together and bitch about kids nowadays!
I so know what you mean! argh!
I yelled at 3 young kids today who were pushing to get off the bus, while I was waiting for someone to get off the bus so I, too, could GET OFF THE BUS! I turned around and snapped (in English, ooh!) "DO. NOT. PUSH. ME!" I think more random strangers should yell at errant children because if the parents won't pull 'em into line, I have no qualms in doing it for them....so THERE!
We need to get you twelve cats.
I don't understand any of it either. I'm the oldest of 8 kids and we were told that if we weren't polite and well-behaved when we went out to eat, we wouldn't go out to eat. And we saw going out to eat (or staying in a hotel, or whatever) as a privlege (sp) so we were good.
Spoiled brats nowadays!
When we're out somewhere and a kid starts screaming continually, I'll look at my boyfriend and say "I can't wait to have kids!" hee hee.
