Something That Doesn't Even Mention Kids

Do you ever drive down the road and see a shoe? When you see it, lonely in the middle of the road, do you ever think "How in the world does one lose a single shoe?" I do. All the time. I (because I'm a little odd) sit and wonder were you walking across the street and one fell off and you just didn't notice? Did it fall out of an open car door as you were speeding down the road? Maybe it was on your front porch and a stray dog came and made off with it and thought the highway looked like a good new home. I just can't figure it out. I'm sure there is some perfectly logical and sensible reason for this. But even the one that makes the most sense (fell out of the car) makes me say HOW?

All this said. I've lost my shoe. My very cute and beautiful and most favorite even though it's not a sandal and generally all my favorite shoes are sandals. That one. It's gone. One. And I'm back to howintheworlddoesaperson (ahem, me) loseashoe????

We came home from vacation and I unpacked it all except a little pile in my bedroom that sat there until yesterday. I kept thinking that maybe my cute little shoe would be in that pile and all would be well. I was wrong. We didn't leave it anywhere either because the Baileys already sent all the junk we left and I'm pretty sure I wore them at their house.

So, anyway, this is my goodbye to my beloved shoe. It is very sad and I am hoping that although I've already cleaned out the van, that maybe it is somewhere in there under a seat or something. It is my last hope. Otherwise I will just have to grieve this loss somehow. I'll pull through. Maybe some shoe shopping therapy is in order!

Shoe Shopping

I love shoes! It is bonus time at Kevin's work (yay!) so we each have a certain amount we set to spend on ourselves & be responsible with the bulk of it. So I set out to buy shoes. It really may seem boring but it's so fun for me. Or it should be. It has been so hard to find the perfect pair. I like cute shoes and I'm trying to look a little more stylish these days. As much as I can and still have the practicality I need for my "job". I like a bit of a heel to give me a little boost in the height department, but I do not want the heel to be so high that I twist my ankle and end up in a useless pile on the floor. I love the look of the higher heels and the almost not even there shoes. Again, I would wind up on the floor. I need some cute, stylish, kid chasing shoes. I did buy these (in black) yesterday. I do love them and I think they are fun and still a little bit practical. They are totally flat which is unusual for me, but they were too cute to resist. Today I continued my shoe shopping mission and found a pair (in brown) at Kohl's that I liked. They fit all of my criteria for the brown sandals I wanted. A little heal, fun and strappy, and I think I'll be able to walk in them. So I think my quest for shoes is over for now. 3 hours to find 2 pairs of shoes seems insane to me, but I guess it is a worthwhile cause.
