For the past year Allison, Eva and I have set aside $10 a month to buy toys. The toys are not for Eva, they are not even for me. No, these toys are for a special event that happens each year, the Christmas is for Kids Toy Drive. My friend Sarah Achin of Achin’s garage and her family put on this wonderful toy drive to help out Christmas is for Kids, a local charity that collects money and toys, new and unwrapped, and distributes them to local children.
Tonight Allison, Eva and I went over to the Mall. We got me some new pants, a pair of pants for work and a pair of jeans. We also picked up two new shirts for me. I’m trying to improve my overall clothing choices. I’m the kind of person who will wear the same clothes forever. I am such a candidate for What Not To Wear. Honestly, if you look in my closet you would agree with Allison that I dress like a tree. Yes, a tree. I have an abundance of green shirts and brown pants. So I will slowly start incorporating more color into the wardrobe. It will take a while because I HATE trying on clothes. So I’ll do this very slowly.
After that we went looking for some new sneakers for Eva. She has grown a few sizes since our last trip to Stride Rite. She has grown from size 4 to size 5 1/2 – 6. She’s got one foot smaller than the other by 1/2 a size like my feet. We looked first at Baby Gap, found nothing so we had dinner and I took Eva on one turn on the carousel. Then we went Stride Rite and picked out some new shoes for Eva.
I love my IZEA Insiders Crew members. They have been coming out of the walls ready to answer the call for interviews. I’m inviting all of them to interview with me and I’m posting all of them on I’m Not A Famous Blogger Blog. Yesterday I interviewed Victor Salazar aka Metallman and today I interviewed Karsun of Karsun’s World. There are more interviews set up through the weekend. I am so excited about all of the great bloggers stepping up and being part of this project. I even went so far as to start making that blog look nice and pretty. If anyone from my crew has not received an interview request yet hang tight they are coming, I’ve got quite a list to go through and personally inviting everyone takes a little time.
