New Car!
I bought a new car last night!!! After test driving both the Nissan Altima Coupe and the Honda Accord Coupe, I knew that the Accord was the one for me. It was very sporty, yet I didn't feel like I was back in the ol' Eclipse (RIP lil Red) of the college years. Plus I got an amazing deal on it! If anyone is considering buying a new car anytime soon I would highly recommend doing so now! It is the EX-L version, which has leather upholstery, some fancy radio that I don't understand, a sunroof (critical for me), and seat heaters (which I have to have if I have leather seats, I am a wuss and I don't like having a cold bum). The exterior paint color is white and the interior is called 'blonde'. I felt this this car was meant for me because I am A) White, and B) Blonde!
Here are some stock photos that I pulled from the Internet because I'm an idiot and forgot to take some at the dealership. Don't worry, there will be plenty more to come when I pick it up on Friday afternoon!

Car Shopping!
Hi!! Guess what? I've already broken my pledge to not go more than three days without blogging! Oops! Sorry....;)
So tonight after work I am meeting my dad to go car shopping!! And the exciting thing is that it is for me! My parents are getting the itch to get rid of their 12 year old Blazer (finally, that thing is such an eyesore), and I have talked them into taking my car (a 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor) and giving me a down payment for a new car (one that will get better gas mileage).
So my top three choices are 1) Nissan Altima Coupe 2) Honda Accord Coupe 3) Honda Accord Sedan. Since tonight is the first time we are going looking, I don't have my hopes up, but if I found something that would be awesome! I'm glad that my Dad is going with me because I don't like to talk price and those sorts of things... It makes me nervous and he is better at it than me anyway:) That is what Dad's are for! And for giving you $20's, even when you are financially independent and 26 years old.
In other news, tomorrow is our weekly day to "eat out" lunch with my work BFF's Chrissie and Kristen. I'm really pumped because I am the biggest fan of the "eat out" lunch day... We are thinking about going to Companion in Clayton. Has anyone every eaten there? What is good? Do they have outdoor seating? I will let you know what I thought about it after we eat there!!
Also, I tried to take Chrissie and Kristen's picture today to put up on my blog, but they wouldn't let me, so here is a pic of the three of us at Chrissie's wedding. They're they best and I love them both dearly!
Toodles!

Yep, still here... Just a really bad blogger!
Hey Everyone!
So, I haven't blogged since September 5th... It is now March 16th... Pretty sure I have set some sort of record for the worst blogger in the world. Anyway, I have a few minutes before I leave to go get my butt kicked at the gym by my trainer, Nicole, so I thought I would hop on here and tell you that I am re-committing myself the the blog. Yep, that's right. I am pledging to not go more than three days in a row without updating the blog.
So, one of my best friend's in the whole world got married this past weekend. Heather and Mike were married at the Historic Trinity Lutheran Church in Soulard, MO with the reception following at the Sheraton in Clayton. The day was absolutely gorgeous, the bride and groom radiant, and it was an all over, beautiful day! I will try to post up some pictures as soon as I can. The only hitch the entire day was that Aunt Pam lost her pants:)
Yesterday was spent eating terribly fattening food (buffalo chicken sandwich with fries from the Cheesecake Factory- HEAVEN), and sleeping with my girls, Sparkles and Stella. Very unproductive and I loved every minute of it!!
Ok, I have to leave now, but I promise I will be back soon!
Ta-ta!

I'm an embarassment to the blogging community...
Hi! Sorry, sorry, sorry! It's been 20 days since my last blog... I sound like I am at a BA (bloggers anonymous) meeting... Ok, so, I've been really busy the last few weeks, which therefore explains my absence from Heart and Soles. Work has fortunately started to pick up, and we are putting together trend and fashion info for the Fall 2009 (yes, we work an entire year in advance) line. I was in Chicago two weeks ago looking for "the next big trend"... Didn't find it, but we got lot's of cute stuff anyway! I love going there because we get to shop in the cute trendy urban areas like Bucktown and Wicker Park. The have so many independent little shops and boutiques, and not just for little kids, but for Men/Women as well... They now have a Cynthia Rowley store, BCBG Max Azria, Intermix, etc... Tons of places you only hear about on the east and west coast... Not to mention the fun restaurants! Oh my! All of these cute little places w/ tons of outdoor seating! I love going on shopping trips for work!
Other than work, the weekends have been pretty crazy too. Last weekend I got to go out to dinner with one of my best friends from college, Abby, and her awesome family and their friends! We went to Charlie Gitto's on the Hill in St. Louis and the food/wine/atmosphere were AMAZING! We had such a good time and I didn't want the night to end!
Saturday I went to the river with my friend Cori. Her parents live right by a sandbar on the Mississippi River and everyone just parks their boats and hangs out and grills. We drank grape vodka and club soda, which is my favorite drink of the moment... I was quite intoxicated by the time I got home, so I didn't make it out to watch the Mizzou/IL football game, but that's ok:)
As for this week, it's been really low key at the office, my boss has been shopping in Denver (think hiking boots and outdoorsy stuff), and then L.A./San Diego so it's been just me in our big ol' mega cube... I've also been sick with a stupid cold all week, so it's nice not to have anyone breathing down my neck either.
Next week will pretty busy, so I hope that I am feeling better by then. I will be in the office on Monday, but Tuesday through Friday I am going to Miami and Puerto Rico to shoe shop! I am so excited! The only bummer will be if the stupid hurricanes continue to stir up trouble... I will be so hacked if the PR part of the trip gets cancelled- I have never been there!
Ok, well, I should probably try to do some more work, considering I have only done one sample today (which doesn't really account for much). I am counting down the minutes until 4:30!!
Peace Out
