Frugal Friday {Shoe Edition}

-
I've been on the look out for a pair of quick and easy shoes for my #1 girl. Just something to throw on to get the mail (one of her favorite activities). 
Crocs $1.99
The color is less than desirable, but they're in perfect condition and just the kind of thing I wanted- quick and easy! 
 "Show me your shoes!" 
{Pants are optional around here}
 When our family first moved down South 14(!) years ago, we had extra play money for the first time ever (Thanks to my Suga' Daddy, Chuckles) Ma and I made many trips to the mall just for fun. I mean, we bought things full price from The Gap.
Those were the days....
We usually checked out the shoe collection at Dillards and I acquired two pairs of shoes from the designer, Gianni Bini. A few years later, while thrifting, I found a pair of Gianni Bini flats. And just like that, I had  A SHOE GUY (I've always pictured him as some old Italian guy, but maybe it's just a brand name?) A few weeks ago I added to my collection with these sandals. 
$3.99 
 You guys. These are my THIRD pair of Chacos that I've found in Florida. Every time I find a pair my heart jumps into my throat, I have a sudden urge to YELP and piddle in my pants (This is a new phrase from our Pastor referring to his new puppy). Piddle. Try it out. 

When I find Chacos, I lunge for them in a socially acceptable way and then hug them to my chest. 
$3.99 
They retail for about $100. I would crown myself the Queen of Chaco Finding, but my friend SJCP is just as good (better?) than me.

Did today feel different to you? Special in any way? Today, February 17, marks T E N Y E A R S of blogging for me! Whaaaattttt. I started blogging to document my family (the first post was about my dad falling down the steps after chasing squirrels with a shot gun. Click here ) and in the last ten years I've had plenty of life to record (Graduations, marriages, jobs, a move to Africa, babies) Blessed. After maxing out the free storage on my first blog, I switched to Packin' Parkers  until I landed at my current blog. Will you do me a huge favor? After ten years of clicking away on various keyboards, bearing my heart and soul to you  (guilt tactics in full force) and sharing pictures of those near and dear to me... Will you tell me who you are? I'm dying to know who my readers are! I know a few of you, but I'm curious to know who my lurkers are. I am the number one blog lurker, no shame. Reveal yourself! 1.

I wear fancy shoes while reading books next to my sister  I recently asked to wear a princess dress for the first time  I try to put on my sisters' panties when they're not around  I eat cereal with a spoon like a big girl  I "help" mom sort laundry by taking one pile out of the basket and putting it in a different (wrong) basket, all while naming the person that the article of clothing belongs to "ehyaehya DADDY ehyaaah MOMMY....eeeeMINE...."
