they became uncomfortable and made sores

By mrsverdantgreen from CA on 10/29/2010

 

1out of 5

Pros: Stylish

Why am I the only one on here with a 1-star rating, is it just me? Anyway I wore these on vacation in Baltimore, without socks, since I thought I would be able to wear them without socks. The bleeding sores appeared on the tops of my feet and on the backs of my heels. Since they tore up my feet, I had to resort to wearing my husband's shoes for the rest of the vacation! Even though they were on clearance, still all that money down the drain. :(

I head to Hoagies & Wings for my favorite sandwich

A classmate of mine said she misses the buffalo chicken sandwiches she would have when she lived in Las Vegas. But doesn't she know she can get one right here in L.A.! I've enjoyed one at their downtown location, not the location in this map picture.

Morrie's is my favorite 'Mom & Pop' shop

They have designer clothes at a discount. I got a Marc Jacobs jacket, a Three Dots sweater, and a Juicy Couture top there among other things!

Take me out to Dodger Stadium

The visitors were the Braves, which was a nice change since the other times I've been to Dodgers games were always against other CA teams. Fortunately, Manny had already been back for a month, so we got to see him and he even acknowledged our section when we all shouted his name at the count of three. :D The Dodgers lost, but I still had a good time and the Dodgers still played well. Especially Andre Ethier, who I had read good things about but didn't know was a bit of a cutie too! ;D

A gift from Vera Bradley wouldn't be bad

Let someone else pay the sky high L.A. County sales tax instead of me! ;D Plus this store has very stylish products and the only other locations of this store in CA are all the way in the Bay Area.

What my ride needs is HD radio

How HD Radio Came to NPR

Side curtain airbags, electronic stability control, back windshield wiper, HD radio (not satellite radio cuz HD radio is free).

Dancer in the Dark was a scary movie

What happens to Bjork's character in the end, well it really gave me the heebie jeebies and I couldn't go to sleep for weeks after that. Just anytime that happens to anybody on screen, such as in Chicago and The Changeling, I can't watch it.

"Summer Breeze" is on my summer soundtrack

Summer Breeze by Seals and Crofts

For my landline phone that I had at my cute little studio apartment, I composed the melody for this song as my ringtone. How I got into this song was that VH1 once had a commercial that had lyrics such as "Summer series/Makes me feel fine/All this summer long on VH1" sung to the tune of Summer Breeze.

Summer Babe by Pavement

The title says it all.

The Pop Singer's Fear of the Pollen Count by The Divine Comedy

It has a line in there, "I'm in love with the summertime." Man, too bad Plinky couldn't find the artwork! :(

'One Hand, One Heart' must be played at any good wedding

One Hand, One Heart by Johnny Mathis, Barbra Streisand

It's in West Side Story, where they're imagining that they're getting married.

Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus

Our parents' generation needs something to line dance to.

Mambo No. 5 by Lou Bega

Same reason as Achy Breaky Heart.

Pink Vado, please

I'd like to use my 20% discount code from Creative on their Vado Pocket Video Cam in pink. Now the pink is on sale for $69.99, but if I hadn't missed out, for only $10 more I could have gotten a bundle that also included an extra battery plus battery charger! :o Oh well, I hope I don't miss out on the $69.99 pink Vado at least!

The Ped Egg doesn't sell itself

I bought the Ped Egg at CVS because the skin on my heels is really thick and scaly. Well it turned out not to be all that it's cracked up to be! :o But my heels still are. :(

My handiness

I made a shower curtain for my stall shower that I had at my cute little studio apartment out of an Orange Savings Account beach towel that said "Make more splash with your cash" on it. I got the directions from Real Simple magazine. I wish I had taken a photo!

I wish I could get a new job

I should be done with school in the summer, and I'm hoping I can be in a job straight out of school. But I wouldn't be commuting 2 hours each way to go to this school if they didn't have the good reputation for that.

Power Pacing keeps me in shape

Every weekend me and my husband go to spin class. We just call it Power Pacing because that's what they called it at L.A. Fitness where my husband used to be a member. I started going to Power Pacing with him 4 years ago at Gold's Gym while we had memberships there, and after that we have been going to Bally, where it's called Reaction Cycling.

I can't believe I did that

When I was taking piano lessons at Pedrini's, one time I went to the restroom but it turned out to be the men's restroom. So I tried to leave the restroom, but for some reason I wasn't able to! Then I was screaming that I couldn't get out of the restroom, and all the music teachers came out of their studios and gathered outside the restroom. One of them said, "See that knob?" And I said yeah, and he said "Turn it." So I did, and the door opened! And I think then I just said "Oh" or something like that. I'm sure I'm missing some details, because why wouldn't turning the doorknob have worked before? The doorknob must have been more complicated than that. Anyway, I was a doorknob all right!
