January 19, 2010 - Momma Needs New Boots

Some call it denial, but honostly, it's so hard for me to find well fitting shoes that don't hurt my feet, that I tend to wear them until they're falling apart. Well, I think it's finally time to retire my hiking boots to shoe heaven. I mean what's the point in having hiking boots that don't protect you from the elements? After all, it's still the middle of Winter and I live in Colorado which means SNOW! The last few times it's snowed or even rain, I've noticed that my my feet have gotten wet. I didn't think too much of that in the beginnging, but as I was listening to the weather forecast this morning I realized that it's one thing to have worn out shoes when I'm only walking from my house to my car and back again. That won't be the case when I'm in Vancouver which will be in less than a month and the last thing I want to do is have cold feet. So, it's via con Dios hiking boots.

January 15, 2010 - Map of Vancouver

It's only 28 days until the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver begin and my sister and I will be in attendance. I've been planning this trip for over two years and I think I have all the details worked out. I know we'll be using public transportation as much as possible so wanted to get a map of Vancouver. Sounds easy, but I have to tell you, Barnes and Noble only had two maps available. I bought one and although it's absolutely beautiful and shows several different maps of Vancouver, I don't think it's specific enough for our needs. I still have time to find another map before we head North.
