Strep

So I have strep throat. My throat has been on fire since Wednesday but I really haven't had time to think about it, so I just plowed through the days sucking on lozenges and drinking tea. But last night, when I finally slowed down, I realized that it was actually unbearable and went to the clinic at about 10pm. My suspicions were confirmed by the doctor and so, here I am, in bed on a Saturday when there are about 800 things I need to be doing. Instead, I'm watching Waiting to Exhale on Bravo, which I haven't seen since it came out in 1995. On the upside, sitting here, in my pjs ,watching a chick flick at 10am on Saturday is like a mini-vacation...sandpaper throat and all.

Start Spreading the News!

It's here! It's here!

Blogalicious 2009 is coming to Atlanta, GA the weekend of October 9 - 11, 2009! We've been working 'round the clock to get this up and running and we're so excited to share the news with everyone. Check out the full announcement over at MamaLaw.

The Daily Shoe

Sporty and Chic. Just right for that summer BBQ at the park.

Pass the potato salad, please.

Whew!

The ladies of MamaLaw have something big in the works. Stay tuned for a very special announcement tomorrow. In the meantime, we're working our tushies off so my apologies for not posting. I'll still put up a Daily Shoe though. I mean, nothing's more important than shoes.

The Daily Shoe

My sources tell me that cork platforms are it for spring. Check out these funky beauties from Tory Burch.

Walk Jog Run *Pant*

My sister is training for a half-marathon and runs a silly amount of miles multiple times a week. She tried to get me out "running" with her over the weekend. I went twice and I am already worn out. To be clear - she runs. I do the walk-run-jog thing. And trust me, it's enough. This morning I read in February's Washington Parent that medical professionals recommend that women wait 2.5 to 3 years in between having babies so that their bodies have a chance to heal. Aha! That explains it. I've had 3 babies in 4 years. No wonder I'm a walking wreck. I have to admit though, that exercising outdoors is invigorating and now that it's warming up, it's even better. So I'm going to try to keep the walking-running-jogging up (as long as my joints will let me).

The Daily Shoe

For the (trendy) tree hugger in you.

I'm a huge Michael Kors fan myself. Shoes, jeans, snarky comments on Project Runway - he's the man.

Working the Work Trip

I have to fly to Seattle for work in a couple of weeks. When i first found out about the trip, I was a bit bummed since I am going to be away from my family for a good 4 days. But my sister pointed out that it will be a mini-vacation for me since I'll be able to sleep in, read books and magazines uninterrupted, enjoy leisurely meals...so now my perspective has totally changed! I may even throw in a spa treatment somewhere in there. Hmmm...working may not be so bad after all.

The Daily Shoe

The Carline Sandal by Jessica Simpson.

Call her what you want- that girl knows how to make shoes. I'm so excited that she's coming out with a clothing collection too.
