Friday Five:
1. What size shoe do you wear? 9. Used to be an 8 until I started having kids. Go figure.
2. How many pairs of shoes do you own? Other than the old ones I keep around for dust catchers lol, I have about 8 or nine that I wear fairly regularly.
3. What type of shoe do you prefer (boots, sneakers, pumps, etc.)? Sandals for this hot footed momma. (Still love little leather granny boots for winter though just to pretend I am Meg or Jo. If you have to ask, you won't understand. Ha.)
4. Describe your favorite pair of shoes. Why are they your favorite? Ugly mens sandals. No kidding. The most comfortable pair I own. Second fav are some leather clogs which for some reason totally take me back to my high school days. Whatever.
5. What's the most you've spent on one pair of shoes? Probably around $100, back in the day when $100 meant something. Now my goal is to keep it under $30. I do fairly well.

If You Give a Mom a Muffin' by Kathy Fictorie
(Based on "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" by Laura Numeroff)
If you give a Mom a muffin,
She'll want a cup of coffee to go with it.
She'll pour herself some.
The coffee will get spilled by her three year old.
She'll wipe it up.
Wiping the floor, she will find some dirty socks.
She'll remember she has to do some laundry.
When she puts the laundry in the washer.
She'll trip over some snow boots and bump into the freezer.
Bumping into the freezer will remind her she has to plan
dinner for tonight.
She will get out a pound of hamburger.
She will look for her cookbook (101 Things to Make With a
Pound of Hamburger).
The cookbook is sitting under a pile of mail.
She will see the phone bill which is due tomorrow.
She will look for her checkbook.
The checkbook is in her purse that is being dumped out by
her two year old.
She'll smell something funny.
She'll change the two year old.
While she is changing the two year old the phone will ring.
Her four year old will answer it and hang up.
She remembers that she wants to phone a friend to come for
coffee on Friday.
Thinking of coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup.
She will pour herself some.
And chances are......
If she has a cup of coffee......
Her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.
