Notes from a convalescence
As you might have guessed, having a toddler with a broken leg is not conducive to regular and timely blogging. Or doing stuff to blog about, unless crafting with stickers is your thang. In fact, this is the umpteenth time I am sitting down to write this blog post in five days, and you can see how far I've gotten.
Princess is feeling better, although not yet mobile. We have been drawing and painting and stickering and reading and singing along to inappropriate rap music.
*******
I ordered (back in January, prior to instituting February's Don't Buy Anything rule) a pair of white leather boat shoe Keds. As a teenager, I used to wear Keds lace-up shoes and boat shoes all the time. I do not recall the shoes making me look like a dork back then, but I could be wrong about that.
The Mister asked if they came with a Medic Alert bracelet.

My friend Linda over at My Crafty Home Life has put together a fabulous line-up for the latest round of the One Room Challenge. The inspiration boards are looking fantastic, I can't wait to see all the rooms!
************
So I have just joined Instagram. Still not on that Tweeter thing, but I am on the Instagram. I am following various interior designers and important celebrities, like Justin Bieber (awesome abs), Snoop Dogg (weed, weed, scantily clad women, more weed), and Beyonce (she hangs with Oprah). I am not exactly a prolific poster (one picture so far!) but I am @mexicancasserole, should you care to follow me. I'd love to follow you, if you leave your info in the comments.

Those black socks with the white shoes totally saves you from looking like a dork...said nobody ever.
:)
Glad Princess is feeling better!
I say this with love and kindness: those are not boat shoes. Top Siders are "boat shoes" (even though they now come in leopard & sequin versions). Maybe try a pair of Toms. Or any other color besides white.
i'm thinking it's the white pleather and accompanying black socks that make it look so dorky. sarah and i both wear slip on sneakers all the time, and look like normal 30-something women :P
i am on instagram. @jesst78. i just started following you, follow me back - although i don't post very often...
Um, the shoes are an illustration of how you're playing nursemaid these days, right? ;)
Sorry you're so very stuck in the house. Sounds like you're a much more patient person than I, who would be an alcoholic by this point. Probably. Hope you can get out soon!
(I am not yet on The Instagrams.)
Mad props to you for surviving toddler convalescence with your sanity intact! You've earned the right to wear those wacky shoes!
I had a good laugh at your husband's comment. Your girl looks adorable. I bet you've had a few "kill me now" moments. I feel for both of you.
Did you Instagram the shoes? :-) I ditto the Toms suggestion. But honestly? You get some kind of medal for even having shoes on, given the stickering/rapping/caring for toddlering you've got going on.
I'm not on Instagram. I reluctantly signed up for Twitter a few months back, just because it seems so mandatory. But I don't love it and it doesn't love me. I know they're all supposed to be essential for online life, but until I get better with the ones I've already got, I think I won't add any others.
