"back up off"

I have been trying to write this post for 5 days now. 5 DAYS...that is how busy my work week has been. Lots of people need to be out of bed at "great hospital." And one of my patients told me to "back up off" yesterday...what does that even mean?

So with the crazy week somewhat behind me, I need your assistance with 2 things:

1. I am going to New York in 2 weeks and want to know the fun things to do.
Don't tell me the statue of liberty, central park, ya ya ya....I've got all that. I want the fun, and semi-touristy stuff...and of course, the shopping. I need it all! I fully plan on assaulting H&M and the Forever21 on Broadway. Any other great locations that I NEED to see?

2. What shoes to wear? And this question can go for here in MS or in NYC. Here, we are in-between seasons. It is cold enough to put the flops up, but not cold enough to bust out the knee boots. In NYC, I'm pulling out the trusty Uggs...God love 'em. I really don't want to pull out my tennies for this trip, but don't think I won't. I found these great flat brown boots...

Cute, right? Yeah, that's what I thought too!

But I also have some equally as cute, but not equally as comfy black boots. So I might make a last minute black converse purchase. Or black Uggs purchase (if Josie will allow). Any other shoe suggestions for this trip or now in MS? I hate a ballet flat... and there are not that many options out there right now. And I can't wear my stripper heels on an every day basis with skinnies.

I told you pressing stuff, right? Hope you have a great week! And happy birthday to my friend Jennifer! Buttermilk Biscuit Jen!

And I will leave you with a picture of that sweet baby Adda Laine. Isn't she a doll? And, of course, Zach in the background has to mess up the picture. ha!
