I lurrrve these shoes

I am not wearing any pants in this picture.... now you can't stop thinking about it can you?

When I have more space on flickr and the clothes come I will post a fashion show.

There was literally a deer in my headlight.

So, as promised, the deer story. The night I moved into my new condo I drove my parents down to my brother's house. After mooching dinner (ruebens) and seeing the kids in their Halloween getups I headed back to Fern Pl. to park my car. I, thinking I was on a major highway that no deer would be stupid enough to try to cross, was speeding along at approximately 75 mph.

BAM!

Suddenly, a deer and I are trying to exist in the same space at the same time. He clips my front end, but I keep motoring. I don't think I actually ran over him, and he didn't go over my car, so I think he just "bounced" (as much as a deer can bouce) back into the median.

I keep driving. I have no freaking clue what to do when one hits a deer at that velocity on a dark highway. Obviously this requires a call to my brother, knower of all things. Basically, he confirms that I did the right thing. No reason to put myself in danger by pulling over on a highway at night for a little fresh venison.

I hope the deer died. Fitz, calm down I will explain.

If he did not die when I hit him, he would have definitely been hurt to the point that he probably would not have been able to do much for himself and would probably end up starving to death which... I, at least, would prefer to die quickly than linger on in pain.

So man, that put a downer on this post. Well if nothing else, the deer went out in style doing $2000 worth of damage to my car (which you can see here.)

Suggestions

please on how I can work this shoe into a holiday ensemble. Really, I just need a good excuse to buy it in the next two months. Why? Because I WANT it ... what other reason do I need? I promise I will wear it all of the time. It can go with work clothes and casual clothes. It is a multi-purpose shoe. And, it is cute.

So why was this a good idea?

Please, someone remind me why I wanted a place of my own.

I got home tonight, opened the locks fine (this is important) and changed to go to the gym. I walked over there and asked what I needed to do to change my membership, got the info and left (I needed a travel pass to work out tonight). So, I get back to my apartment approximately 15 minutes after leaving it, and cannot get the door open. I tried for a good 5 minutes and then decided that I needed to calm down and not get anxious. So, I walked up to the roof deck (I figured it would be a good idea to walk since I didn't get to workout) and sat down for a few minutes. I walked back down and tried again. No dice. My neighbor came home and she tried (a new neighbor, I may actually remember her name) for a few minutes and she had no luck either. So, I made my way down to the front desk. There they gave me the conveience key, I tired it for a few minutes and nada. I went back downstairs and they gave me the emergency keys, this time they didn't even turn the lock a little bit. I went back downstairs again and was advised to try one more time before we called in the after hours maintenance man... and this time? Success! Woo Hoo! Plus, I feel that I didn't miss the gym too much since I walked 37 flights of stairs.

Obviously I am in now, but I am never locking the top lock again. That is until the come to fix and/or replace it on Friday. In other words, please don't try to steal from me until then, it won't be much of a challenge.

In like Flynn...

Okay, not really, but I am all moved into my new place. I expect you all to come visit me, just not all at once.
