Winner winner chicken dinner!!!!

It's morphing...

Why did it take me so long to hit the purchase button?

So I felt it was time for a new pair of tennies for the Gym. I have had my shox for like 4 years and definitely have gotten a good bang for my buck out of them. For months I've been saying "i need new shox" and for months Stevo has been saying "well buy some". I have been on Nike.com, in every sporting good store that sells them, and all shoe stores that sell them and just haven't found what I wanted. I am fan of the old skool body style for the shox. Not too glitzy, not too glamy, just simple and perfect for my feet. Well after searching more yesterday and thinking I had found the ones i was going to buy, I realized that i just wasn't going to be happy with them. I finally decided to just design my own with NikeiD. It's a section of Nike.com where you can design your own shoe with particular styles. http://bit.ly/bRaVlx
Well they had my old skool shox style and I bit the bullet and did it. Yes it cost a little bit more and it's gonna take forever to get to me but I know in the end I will be happy with my purchase. Of course it did take me 12 hours just to design them and I had to keep walking away from the computer and was hesitant to hit purchase. I finally got the courage to place the order and now my shoes are in production!! YAY!!!!! phew. Now I can't wait to get them!!! I even got to include something on the back of each shoe. I didn't go too crazy and do anything cheesey or lame like "you wish" or "keep dreaming" as suggested by Stevo. I just went with the simple GWEEDYS KICKS. So now the waiting game starts. Please go by fast 2-4 weeks. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!

Old Shox:

New, fabulous Shox:

Yes it's simple but it's gonna make me so happy!!

Let's just go with Initials

The thing is I didn't even give her my initials. I just said "Autumn" like usual.

The fun continues...

Barista: "Morning what can i get for you?"

Me: "Grande Nonfat Toffe Nut latte please"

Barista: "Name?"

Me: "Autumn"

Hmm Still wondering how she got "Aron" from Autumn. The even funnier thing, this is the second time I have gotten "Aron". About a month ago by the same girl who took my order for today's.

New fun project

It's a simple process. Stand in line at starbucks and wait your turn to order your beverage. Give them your order, "Grande skinny vanilla latte please". Then they ask the question "your name" Inside I laugh. Why you ask? Because I know when I pick up my beverage from the barista counter I know that the spelling of my name will be one that is, well amusing. Sad I know. I mean come on who doesn't know how to spell AUTUMN. Let me be the first to tell you, there are MANY MANY MANY who seriously cannot spell Autumn!!! So I thought it would be fun to do a starbucks cup blog project and document all the cups I get with the "unique" spelling of my name. The ultimate one has been ODUM and I kick myself all the time that I didn't ever take a picture of it. So with that, here is my first entry...

At least they got the AU correct...

Wow really?
