Worst. Cold. Ever. Is it just me or are colds getting worse? I'm talking 4 straight days of sinus torture with no relief. My mom has had a cold for 6 weeks. Is this the new normal? I try to keep things happy on this blog so let's talk shoes instead, shall we? Looking at these metallic sandals reminds me that sunnier days aren't far away and that pretty soon, the clouds will blow away, the haze that's taken up residence inside my head will move out, and we'll be strolling around in sandals once more. 

Sometimes a little shoe shopping is all you need. That, and Tylenol Cold. Yup, you need that, too.
