A lot of people in my agency swear by their Keens in Antigua.  They say they are the best for making their way around the rough cobblestone streets.  I’ve been looking at some Keens online but really have trouble with the cost of them without trying them on.  I looked around online and kept coming back to a couple of pairs of Skechers that were less expensive and better looking in my opinion – but again hated to buy them without trying them on.  I dragged Steve out to some sporting goods stores tonight but we couldn’t find any Keens or any other sports sandals until the last place we tried.  I found my first pair of Antigua shoes.

Comfy and not bad looking.  Really comfortable actually.  And I think I found my second pair of Antigua shoes too but they didn’t have the color I wanted so I found them on line and will probably order them.  I also ordered a couple of items of clothing for myself since I don’t seem to have much in the way of appropriate summer type clothing.  For summer I seem to have 2 types of clothes – work and slob.  I figured something in between would make me look like less of an ugly American when I leave the casa.
We told my inlaws today that I am going down to foster.  At first I think my mother in law thought I had lost my mind.  But after we talked about it a little more she seemed very supportive.  My mom is offering to come down after Steve leaves to help me with the transition of becoming a full time momma. My best friend is frantically going through her baby items since she was robbed of the chance to throw me a shower she insists on giving me some clothes and things to use.  That will be a help.  And I realized that Steve and I need to go and at least pick out a crib, dresser, car seat, high chair, and rocking chair or I am going to have totally leave it to him to pick out the nursery items that we will need to have in place when we come home.  I want to help pick the things out so we will be doing some nursery shopping before I leave.  So much to do and think about before I leave – I need to go make some more lists!
