Now tagless for your comfort.
We did drive down 2 along the lake front. Gorgeous, sunny day. It was actually a nice drive. Then we got into Shawano County in Wisconsin and got slowed down.
We've decided that the drive up along the UP is a better way to get to Northern Michigan than taking the car ferry across the lake. The ferry was ok, once. But for the cost, it doesn't save a lot of money or stress.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Cash - next summer we should plan a Miraclemere/Cashborn UP trip. The kids are at an age that I think they would LOVE Fayette State Park or the Porcupine Mountains.

DH was talking about that. Ours will definitely be old enough for a fun trip next year.
In Bellaire, they dug their own nightcrawlers, fished off the dock, played with the worms, caught two toads, watched a garter snake and went canoeing and swimming.
Lots of fun!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Or you could send the kids off to UP and the adults to Vegas...

So you bought multiples of shoe styles that fit and are comfortable ... this is a problem because?
I believe the disapproval came because I wasn't buying fuschia heels or being 'more creative' with my shoe wardrobe.
A girlfriend once nominated me for 'What Not to Wear' (I'm not even half as bad as all that) with an exasperated, "She doesn't know a THING about shoes!"
I just assumed that meant I should turn in my 'girl' card.
I've learned to be okay with the lack of that particular skill. I just wish I enjoyed them as much as other people do. For instance, I love Glamcookie's shoe pics. It just seems like so much fun.
Then again, some people like roller coasters and I'm TOTALLY okay without that little pleasure.

Finally, a bumper sticker for me! [link] (The blue one. I mean, I like the other 2, but I may just have to buy the blue one.)

Mine too. I went from being an honor student in high school to getting three C+'s in a row in college to getting on academic probation in grad school.
