Thirfty Thursdays – Steve Madden Sandals*

It has been a busy and exciting week.

Tomorrow will mark the first time that I will have ever taught five full days in a row since becoming a supply teacher. Sure, I’ve worked five days in a row before, but they aren’t usually full days. I often get calls for a morning here, or an afternoon there, but I’ve never quite made it to a full week.

Until now. :)

When I got the call for another full day tomorrow (my 4th day at the same school this week) I was elated. I love my job, and this is like getting a small glimpse into what life will be like when I one day have a full-time job. It’s been all kinds of fun… and all kinds of busy. As it stands right now, there are only three days left this month that I haven’t been booked for yet. That feels good.

The end of my course is also on the horizon. I’m currently working on my final assignment–a one hour professional development workshop. I am so ready to be finished. It’s been a very interesting course, but I’ve also found it incredibly busy. I look forward to having the constant guilt and stress removed from my shoulders!

…because that will leave me with more time for fun things. Like shopping. :)

A couple of weeks ago I went out to tour my fav stores and I happened to see a fabulous pair of sandals that lept off the shelves into my cart. They needed a good home and I was happy to oblige. When I saw that these cute Steve Madden sandals were only $7 my heart melted just a little! I ♥ Value Village!

(We finally found the camera we want for the price we want! We’re hoping to go pick it up tomorrow, so this will hopefully be the last of the crappy blackberry photos! YAY!)

I don’t know if you can see it in the photos, but each strap is a different shade / pattern of gold and silver. It’s SO fun.

The weather is finally getting warmer, and while I’ve been wearing my flats every day–I haven’t been brave enough to wear my sandals just yet. But I cannot wait to be able to wear these!

Also, I can’t wait to set up my new closet and display all my shoes. Just the thought of it makes me a bit giddy. AH!
