That being said, I'd like to tell you why I don't have a savings account. Well, one that has more than $106 in it. I buy things that make me happy. Not the priceless moments, like the walk from the car to a restaurant, arm-in-arm with the girl (something I hope NEVER stops happening), or a pinch on the butt or a smooch from my lover (also hope NEVER stops) while I'm in the kitchen whipping up (by "whipping up" those close to me know I mean studying a recipe intently). I mean material things.
I love shoes. Stilettos. Not so much other styles. Tennis shoes I will wear until the laces fall out of them. Flip flops, you ask? Helloooo Old Navy. And thank you. Your seasonal thongs give my sore, sore tootsies the opportunity for some relief.
Around the holidays, I decided to splurge on yet another pair of shoes. I wasn't a HUGE fan of the tweens and their skinny jeans all tucked into theirs, but I went there. These puppies had me at hello...
Wearing these to me, is just a bit like a smile on my face - but for my feet. They smile at me nightly now. After the long hours at work in my fabulous finds from Scarpa Alta (thank you girls - and LOVE the new pad) and the stupid hour at the gym, these little snuggly bits o'warmness are waiting for me at the foot of my bed with open arms.
Impossible to describe the feeling to the lover, and since MAB had her own pair of these little treasures,
Adaire and I set out on the hunt to find him a pair of his own. Unsure of our plan and his take on the whole thing, we were taking a chance. You see, CPW is a shoe connoisseur. He has a room for them. A ROOM, PEOPLE. Supporting our local economy, we jetted down to Wilkins Shoe Center to find the perfect pair for our perfect man.
Don't let the picture fool ya. They're bigger. ;) I just couldn't find a good pic and I'm in a hurry. We're out of chocolate and one of us has GOT to get to our neighborhood grocery store (GC to the GBG's) to re-stock since our diets start back up tomorrow.
In just a few words and with a smile on his face (and his feet), CPW validated our purchase and surprise and we got much love.
Now, for the bad news: THE GREEN CLASSIC BOOTS ARE GONE FROM THE UGG ONLINE STORE! I don't know if I'm just not clicking on the right thing or if Mr W and I just made up these fabulous finds on an online drunken stupor. But they're gone. The only option I can find is a tall pair with a goofy flower embroidered on them. I'm 36.5 years old, everyone. M'flower days are O.V.E.R. (Fine, they are days that never should have been in the first place since I'm 4'11", but I also wore parachute pants. SUE. ME.)
I didn't want these for St. Patty's Day, trust me. I just wanted them. For like, the rest of this stupid chilly weather and to store safely until old man winter rears his ugly head again in a few short months.
Since I know my friends enjoy a challenge, here it is:
MISSION GREEN UGG BOOTS SIZE 6 WOMEN'S (or equivalent in kid size) FOR BROMLEY...
.....is this mission accepted? ____ yes ____no
Think before ya click. That's all I'm saying. :x
