my pink toes: Sometimes I Miss Having a Paying Job

Thursday, July 10, 2008

As in, when I see adorable things like these that actually COME IN MY SIZE! Of course, if I still had my day job, I wouldn't have the time to sit and browse for these darlings. (Not that I really have the time NOW - but the laundry can wait a few minutes more). And, I taught Junior High school, so these (adorable) pumps wouldn't be the most practical thing. But man oh man, they are precious!

Also, I am obsessed - OBSESSED with kitten heels. They are just. so. darn. cute! Of course, once elongated out to a size 12, they often lose their cuteness. And, my amply plump body probably looks a bit precarious perched on such an adorably tiny-curvy stem. But someday, SOMEDAY, I WILL have a pair! Of course, that someday will be a long time from now. Star Trek and Donna Reed aside, I don't think heels are the best choice for my current responsibilities of saving the galaxy, filling the kiddie pool, snuggling with tired boys, digging for artifacts a la Indiana Jones, reading aloud, tripping over the cats, mopping, cooking, and washing endless loads of laundry. Although they'd make me look so much cuter doing it!

OH MY WORD - what stinking cute shoes! Which reminds me, we're going to a wedding on Sat, and I could use a pair of black shoes...

Those shoes are so cute, but they make my feet hurt just to look at them! I think I was meant to always be short, in all circumstances. I can only imagine what Dave would say about them, given his response to your boots. He may actually say something mean for the 4th time in his life!

Shoes, ahhh. Along with purses, such a temptation.
Good news, those black babies pictured above( not the exact ones but a VERY similar style and I think same brand) are on sale at Nordy's anniversary sale for 66.90 I just pre-ordered a pair yesterday. They are Sofft brand which supposedly don't hurt feet so much. Just wanted to let you know.
