shoe lust

After 13 consecutive days of posting, I completely lost steam. This happened to coincide with me coming down with YET another cold precisely one month to the day from the start of my last cold. Then last night, Sweet Girl started showing symptoms, so we all crashed reasonably early, but of course we had a miserable night of sleep to boot. Mercifully, this cold doesn’t seem quite as bad as the last one, but nevertheless Sweet Girl is congested, and she loves sucking her thumb, and those two things don’t mix because of the whole needing to breathe thing. Ugh. And can I just say that I hate the makers of Nyquil who package their medication in those tiny little plastic bank vaults that you can’t get open when you’re in peak health much less when your brain is foggy and your arms feel like lead. Also, there is nothing worse than waking up in the morning and having to clear your sinuses of everything that has gathered through the night. Even my kid was like “Mama, what’s that sound?!” Honey, that’s just the sound of Mama trying to expectorate her brains through her nose. Nothing to worry about, dear.

Anyways, to make up for missing two days of posting, I’ll try to double-post today and some other day this month to get me to 30 posts by 11/30, but in the meantime I wanted to give you all the heads up that 6pm.com has all their Nine West shoes on sale for $14.95. This is a STEAL, people. Check it out! Thanks to my lovely friend, Melanie, for the tip!

I thought it would be nice to take a short break from the your questions and end the week with a pair of completely adorable, but totally impractical shoes.

I love the print, I love the colors (apparently, I’m going through an orange phase right now), but first, the obvious lack of support would destroy anyone’s feet, let alone mine with plantar fasciitis. Second, $225?! For those? I may love shoes, but Imelda Marcos I am not.

Enjoy your weekend everybody, and back to your questions tomorrow.

Please, tell me you didn’t see this coming. After yesterday’s installment of Poor Application of Literary and Economic Theory to a Modern Day Phenomenon, I think it’s fairly obvious that this posting every day thing is really hard for me. Thus, I’m going back to my comfort zone and posting shoes!

I purchased these Keens a few weeks ago, and I do love them for fall. Such a fun color (although admittedly a little tricky to match socks to, and will likely be dated long before I stop wearing them), and so soft and comfy. I wish they had slightly better arch supports, but that’s because I’m getting old and falling apart at the seams.
