Shoes!

Okay, honestly, for my 101st post I thought I might do something that was groundbreaking in my life, or was super-inspiring, or something amazing. But I'm just going to post about something that's only huge and groundbreaking to me: I bought two pairs of shoes in two days that I can actually wear on a day-to-day basis. Now, let me tell you this, because I get made fun of all the time about my huge collecton of shoes that I never (seriously, never) use, because they're either high heels (which I can't stand for more than three horus) or shoes that are inordinately uncomfortable and need to be "broken in", unfortunately I have no patience to break them in and so they're still painful and so I refuse to wear them. It's a very vicious cycle that I repeat constantly without fail. Bad, cheap, painful shoes are honestly like my crack, I totally find myself saying "No, it's going to be different this time! I'm going to find GOOD shoes! And they're going to work, they will! I promise!!" And of course like a meth addict relapsing and going back to that disgustingly dirty drug, I go back and buy a pair of shitty shoes from Payless and waste yet another twenty dollars.

But not this time! This time I am ditching that drug and I have bought two pairs of comfortable shoes which I will wear everyday and wear into soft, awesome shoes. Now here's the problem, I will NOT spend money on shoes, yes, yes, I wear them daily, and my feet are pretty important, I don't want hammertoe and bunyons, blah blah blah...but I can't stand it, so I end up buy cheap shoes that kind of fit my freakishly wide fan feet that are so used to being shoe-free and open air in the house. Well it usually doesn't work out so well because that "kind of" is the difference between soft clouds of pillowly shoeness, and crippling pain after an hour.

And so...here are the shoes:

$20 Sugar's from Nordstrom Rack (mentioned in yesterday's post)

$17 Roxy's from Ross

Oh how happy am I? Happy enough to go eat some shortbread and chocolate cookies and a burrito! G'nite.
