About Me

My photo
I'm Coralyn, a Californian native. I am mother to a crazy 4 year old girl named Madison, a baby on the way, and a wrinkly Shar-pei. My husband is in the Army and we have moved from California to Hawaii and from Hawaii to beautiful Colorado. I'm a stay at home mom and student/art major. I love painting and drawing and hope to share some of these things with you throughout my blog along with other random moments in my life.

The Easter Bunny and the Golden Slippers

It's Madison's first Easter so... I was REALLY excited about getting her pics with the Easter Bunny. Matt could have cared less about the Easter Bunny. He had trouble understanding what the big deal was. So we were waiting in line at the Navy Exchange at Pearl Harbor when Madison decided to say..
"Da-Da"

Matt freaked out, and we both stared at her.

then she giggled and said

"DA-DA-DA-DA-DA"

Matt's mouth pretty much dropped, and I rolled my eyes. She said it about five more times before we sat her on the Bunny's lap. I was really not impressed with this Easter Bunny at all. He had mud all over his ear and he was anorexic looking, but I shrugged and made a fool of myself to get Madison to smile. Which was so worth it.



I tried to explain to Matt that even though she's saying "Da-da", that it doesn't mean that she knows what it means.... But I don't think he believes me. Oh well.




We went walking around the Exchange looking for things to stick in Madison's Easter basket, when from a distance I saw these beautiful sandals.

As I got closer, they became more and more shiny and pretty.

I picked one up and inspected it closely... Oh no.. they're coach.



I own a couple coach purses that I shamefully admit are a bit on the pricey side. I could only imagine how much these sandals cost. I took a deep breath and checked the sole for the price tag.

*gulp*
man... that is A LOT for a dumb pair of sandals.


a dumb BEAUTIFUL pair of sandals.

the sales person brought me a size 8. I slipped them on. They fit wonderfully. and looked fantastic with my skin tone and even went perfect with the coral three quarter sleeved blouse I was wearing at the moment.

I smiled as I admired how they glistened under the store lights.


NO!
I threw them at the box.

THEY'RE TOO MUCH CORALYN, DON'T DO IT! IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

I walked away from that shoe section very sad, and I felt my old roxy flip flops feeling more and more raggedy with every step I took. :(

man.. why do expensive things have to be so nice! grrrr..
