Gi-Gi Roxx - The Ravings of a Lunatic

So I've been trying to replace my old worn out sneakers for over two weeks now.  I fell in love with a pair like these that my sister bought and let me try on one day.  No pain, no gain...Super fun, but not if you have a jacked up foot. They're so lightweight and comfortable.  Except when you have a foot that's being a jerk.  Yes, that's right.  My foot is a complete and total jackass right now.  My right foot, specifically. When I purchased my own pair of these Nike's I didn't expect to have any problems.  But then I took them on a test drive walk one day. Agony.  Utter agony. Turns out there is an issue with the placement of one of the leather "straps" across the toe that is aggravating what I can only guess is the beginnings of a bunion or whatever on my right foot. It HURT... BAD. I tried loosening the laces to the laxest point possible that would still let me keep the shot on my foot but it didn't help.  I took them out fo

I was just organizing a mountain of paperwork that needs to be filed away in the filing cabinet we keep our crap "organized" in.  Next I have to actually take some time to organize the files in the cabinet so they're more user friendly. Right now everything is in wild disarray in there.  It's what I'd call "amok". I hate it.  But I also hate standing there for any amount of time trying to get it in order.  I will dedicate myself to the task one day soon.  I swear it. I realized how much filing there is when maintaining household records AND business related records here in this house.  I used to do that sort of crap when I was being paid to do it by various jobs over the years. I'm not getting paid for this however, not legitimately anyway. Sure I get a roof, food, water, and the occasional new pair of shoes or a fancy new bit of bling.  But I don't have to pay into FICA or SSI or any of that crap, so I guess I'm coming out ah

I've been a horrible blogger.  Heck today was the first time I've logged on since I posted the previous entry about Leelu's First Birthday. Since then, she's started walking, running and trying to jump and climb. Her vocabulary is ever expanding and she is quite the little ham.  She makes me laugh, a LOT. Little Miss Cool Beans We've been working on learning letters and numbers and she loves pointing out A's, E's, O's and L's everywhere we go. She also loves giving hugs and being chased around. Hearing "I'm gonna getcha!" makes her squeal with delight. I cannot believe in a little over a week she's gonna 14 months old.  Time FLIES! I've been doing well, keeping up with Leelu, housework and business stuff keeps me busy. When I make some personal time I am still playing with needles and hooks and yarn, learning new tricks with crochet and knitting.  I've made a few little doodads but nothing seriously produc
