Keep Your Eye On the Prize
Happy new year, everyone! It's been quiet here on the blog lately and I apologize for that. It's been busier than usual at my real day job. But the posts are coming, I assure you!
Looking back...
The holidays were fantastic. Low-key family affairs, visits with close friends and much needed long phone calls to friends far away. I hope you are enjoying the post-holiday bliss as much as we are here. On another note, I did obtain some incredible things at ridiculous prices. Designer denim, cashmere, a hat here a jacket there. Sadly, every time I found anything Mackage it was sold out in my size. But the shoes were always available in my size (somehow!!!). So suffice it to say I'm a happy girl.
Moving forward...
Personally, I don't do new years resolutions. My personal belief is
that you should always be improving gradually. But the new calendar
gives us all a chance or a fresh look, a fresh approach...hope, change,
idealism. I'm all in favor of staring fresh. So let's make 2009 an
amazing year together. I hope to get to know you all better as fellow
bloggers and readers... and if you haven't joined the twitter party yet, you're missing out.
The Jimmy Choos featured above are my current obsession. One word sums them up: mine! LOL. Listen, it doesn't get better than a 4" stacked platform heel. These are absolute perfection and are my pick for the ultimate spring/summer shoe for 2009. You read it here first.
So happy new year to you all. I plan to be back on track with posts soon and some small but exciting announcements. Have a lovely weekend! XOXO!
You need to do an online fashion show girl. I'm living vicariously through you in 2009!

Hello Franki, this morning the ups truck pulled up and delivered the book.
Thank you very much!

Feel like these are great 'power' shoes...and they look reasonably comfortable for frolicking in the upcoming spring (yay!)...but back to boot land for the short lived fall here in Florida.

Love your comment on my blog. Thank you and Happy New Year! Great shoes and I am about to add you to my twitter.

Ok, first of all, happy new year!
Second, I don't do resolutions either...yet another thing, aside from our love for gorgeous shoes, that we have in common:)
Speaking of shoes and obsessions, these are DIVINE. I love them.
And, finally, you read my mind bc just this morning I was thinking about whether or not I should join Twitter. I guess I know what your advice would be.

My Beloved Franki, when I saw the title of this post, it immediately caught my attention. It's a phrase my father closes all of his letters/emails. That, coupled with the shoe...can we have a moment of silence for the shoe?! I would love to come and play dress up in your closet...
Posted by: Dawn | January 12, 2009 at 12:36 AM
And just for Dawn... a moment of silence for the shoe ((((moment)))) ahhh!
Chessa: yes on twitter. yes! Come find me!
Jen, we all can wear high shoes. We all can. Well, that's not entirely true... but mentally, we all can!

You have to put some more post about these so we can understand it clearly.

"Years passedhttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com. There were rumors about him.http://www.chinajewelrytop.com They said he had procured a wand of immense power. I, meanwhile, was offered http://www.chinajewelrytop.comthe post of Minister ofhttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com Magic, not once, but several http://www.chinajewelrytop.comtimes. Naturally, I refused. I had learned that I was not tohttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com be trusted with power."
"But you'd have been better, much better, than Fudge or Scimgeour!"http://www.chinajewelrytop.com burst out Harry.
"Would I?" asked Dumbledore heavily.

"I am not so sure. I had proven, as a very young man, that power was my weakness and my temptation. It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited tohttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com power are those who have neverhttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com sought it. Those who, like http://www.chinajewelrytop.comyou, have leadershiphttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.
"I was saferhttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com at Hogwarts. I think I was a good teacher -"

"They say hehttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com showed remorse in later yearshttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com, alone in his cell at Nurmengard. I hope that is true. I would like to think that he http://www.chinajewelrytop.comdid feel the horror and shame of what he had done. Perhaps that lie to Voldemort was his attempt to make amends . . . to prevent Voldemort http://www.chinajewelrytop.comfrom taking the Hallow . . ."
". . .or maybe from breaking into your http://www.chinajewelrytop.comtomb?" suggested Harry, and Dumbledore dabbed his eyes.
After another short pause Harry said, "You tried to use the Resurrection Stone."
Dumbledore http://www.chinajewelrytop.comnodded.
Posted by: zhangyan | January 04, 2011 at 03:09 AM
Dumbledore pattedhttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com Harry's hand, and Harryhttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com looked up at the old man and smiled; he could not helphttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com himself. How coul dhe remain angry with Dumbledore now?
"Why did you have to make it so difficult?"
Dumbledore's smile was tremulous.
"I am afraid I counted on Miss Granger to slow you up, Harry. I was afraid that your hot head mighthttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com dominate your good heart. http://www.chinajewelrytop.comI was scared that, if presented outright with the http://www.chinajewelrytop.comfacts about those tempting objects, you might seize the Hallows as I did, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons.http://www.chinajewelrytop.com If you laid hands on them, I wanted you to possess them safely. You are the true master of death,
Posted by: zhangyan | January 04, 2011 at 03:11 AM
because the true master does not seek to run away from Death. He accepts that he must die, and understands that there are far, far worse things in the living world than dying."
"And Voldemort never knew about the Hallows?"
"I do not think so, because he did not recognize the Resurrection Stone he turned into a Horcrux.http://www.chinajewelrytop.com But even if he had known http://www.chinajewelrytop.comabout them, Harry. I doubthttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com that he woul dhave been http://www.chinajewelrytop.cominterested in any except the first. He would not think that http://www.chinajewelrytop.comhe needed the Cloak, and ashttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com for the stone, whom would he want to bring back from thehttp://www.chinajewelrytop.com dead? He fears the dead. He does not love."
