So, I finally broke down and bought some expensive (to me) shoes because wearing sneakers for six years apparently has made wandering around in heels almost unbearable. The cheapy shoes I had for many years just aren’t cutting it and I’ve practically had to limp to my car some days. That sucked and it made the day really crappy. I hate crappy.
So, I visited Naturalizer (which, heretofore, I thought were old lady shoes. Au contraire, mon frere!) and was thrilled with the selection. I bought two pair of shoes and wore one today. COMFY as anything. I walked all over the place without any problem. Awesome! And despite it being a busy day (watching McTizzypants text message (ex?)wife and surf his football sites), I was able to freely W. A. L. K. to my car.
Here’s what I learned: sometimes what appears to be “old lady shoes” aren’t. Sometimes, they are cool as shit and comfortable too. (Glad I am back in the working world to afford them, though!)
Update on “As the Office Turns”: You know you can’t sleep at night wondering of McTP and (ex?) wife are talking again, aren’t you? Thought so. He didn’t go on the “booze cruise” Friday night, electing instead to stay at home and mope. Why? Because he wouldn’t have his “gorgeous” arm candy with him. Sheesh. If your self esteem comes from who is on your arm, you gots more problems than I can go into here. (And he does.) Anyway, GRE and I are working to get ourselves up to speed on skills and whatnot so when he text messages his ass out of that job, we can step in and go. Yes, “Team Woo-Woo” is on the case (when we’re not hiding toothbrushes and/or replacing them with “My Little Pony” ones. (That’s set for tomorrow, btw)).
Confidential to the Uni: I know you’re doing this for reasons I cannot fathom and so I will swing with it. But let me know you got my back, K?
OH! Go check out The Healing Change – I’m blogging there now too! :)
New shoes rock. Keep us posted on Project Pony.
Come on over to the dark side – visit http://www.zappos.com for shoes – you get free shipping both ways (so it’s free to return them if you don’t like them). I often find shoes I like in the real world and then go online to see if I can get them for cheaper on Zappos – with free shipping there’s no risk! Of course I do LOVE getting new shoes!! Another favorite site is handmade shoes by http://www.thoseshoes.com – they make beautiful shoes.
I only wear expensive shoes. You must take care of your dogs. Glad you found some that work for you.
YES, we/they/ HAVE YOUR BACK!
I finally did something over at MC!
Comfortable shoes are everything. I only wear Dansko clogs and Mephisto sandals and running shoes. I’ve tried to wear my pretty shoes again, and they hurt. Also, when I was on rotations, I would literally walk miles every day! All over the hospital!
