It's back to school season again. And I clearly remember as a kid looking forward to shopping for new school supplies and new shoes. I didn't care so much about the clothes (I still don't) but put me in front of some notebooks, a row of prettily packaged ink pens and a store full of stylish shoes and I was one happy kid!
As a grown woman, I still get giddy with excitement when I visit Staples (it's that easy afterall) or when I visit ZBSports online. Oh, the colors, the styles, the brightness of the new sneakers...
So I couldn't have been happier or more surprised when I woke up one morning recently to find a Saucony box on my kitchen counter with a "love note" from my honey! "New shoes for baby"!! That's me - I said to myself! And while I tore into the box to see what color my treat was, I've used great restraint in not wearing them until recently - last night.
Oh, it's like walking on air. I love them. And they're pink...I love pink!
And I'm convinced they make me run faster, just like my new shoes did when I was headed back to school...

I still love "Back to School" too! And I'm a total sucker for the notebooks and highlighters - I was just in the supermarket the other day and got completely sidetracked in the seasonal aisle by the pens and memo pads. Don't even get me started on my addiction to planners/organizers...
Enjoy your new shoes. As my mother used to say, "Tear them in good health!"
