I may have gone a little crazy with the hooks, but something had to be done with the handbags. So hooks all over the world was the solution. If you have a better solution for the March 2010 Closet Reorg, I’ll be happy take suggestions. I’ve even made room for new spring shoes & bags, because I’m nice like that. I’ve also decided that I’m WAY under fashionable and I need to step it up a bit – but in a reasonable I’m not going to break the bank so the Chef won’t yell at me too much sort of way  . . .

Now, I have some packing to do 10 miles to run in my spanky new shoes. Official shoe of the NTRT! Don’t they look super-fast?!?

Coming up soon is the Runner Susan official Should I Stay or Should I Go Shoe, Bag and Clothing Fest!

You know how you can retweet? What’s the universal sign for reblog? This from Christopher McDougall’s blog – it made my morning.

Menstrual-controlled running shoes, new from Asics.
by Christopher on February 11, 2010

No, seriously. I only wish I were kidding. Just when you thought the shamelessness of running-shoe scams had reached bottom, whaddaya know — they find new depths to the cesspool. Asics is kindly offering to sell you a $190 running shoe that will magically adjust its midsole to your menstrual cycle. Read on, and marvel at how the Asics flack gets this stuff out with a straight face.

I wish Chris would open up his blog to stalkers commentators, it would make it so much easier for his fans to connect with him.

In other news, I’m loving my Nike Frees – it’s not barefoot, but I’m hoping it’s a step in the right direction. It’s the first time I’ve ever worn a shoe that didn’t set my feet on fire or give me serious blisters until I broke them in for a month or two. I’ve even run with them in the rain, and NO BLISTERS!

In other news, I’m positive my feet are going to love these and keep me blister free this summer:

I can’t answer that yet. Why? One, it’s been muddy and I didn’t want to get my new shoes dirty. Figure that? And two, I’ve been a lazy bum and haven’t run. Next post involves stuff like “Running with the Newtons” and “What’s up with Januaryathon?”. Until then, here are a few Newton pics to tide you over – I’m a sucker for pink shoes.

We’ve had one closet that I just haven’t had time to organize since we moved in. But, finally, inspired from the marathon, I got to it. It’s taken 2 days and I wish I had a before picture to show you. The guest bedroom closet is *my* closet. The only space in the house that is totally *mine* and I don’t have to share it with anyone. Except the vacuum, which is excluded from the picture for your viewing pleasure.

Suncreen, chapstick, hats, sunglasses, blinking lights, earbuds, wintery hats, socks and gloves and shoes all in their proper places. So pretty. Please excuse the wrinkles, most of the clothes have been boxed up for several months.
