Mama needs new shoes! to avoid a wheelchair.

I saw these shoes maybe a year ago. They were 69.99 or something silly at DSW. I noticed them. They noticed me. I probably sent a text to my shoe-buddy Emoney  to tell her I wish we were the people who could just buy mediocre quality regular priced shoes for no reason lol

fast forward.

I was at a different DSW looking for some sandals to take to Panama and guess what I saw?? It was a miracle that these shoes and I found each other again not only because I was in a different state entirely, not only because they were on sale (50%off!) but because I wear a size 10. The sale rack of size 10 shoes is usually 1/4 that of smaller sized shoes. **aside: I am not sad that I wear a size 10. I am tall. With smaller feet I would tip over. But I envy your rows and rows of sale shoes, smaller footed women. I envy your sale racks.**

I bought my shoes and promise to love them forever.
But our love affair was cut short.

I either left these shoes when I moved out of crazylady's  that first apartment (DOUBTFUL! I like them and I do not think I would have left anything behind there)

or

the former maid STOLE THEM. I am voting for this option. My heart broke when I went to wear my shoes in December and they were not in my closet. Conveniently, the maid quit and did not ever return....I even emailed crazylady my former landlord to see if I left them in the apartment. **Not surprisingly, she never wrote me back (she hasn't said anything to me at all after I kindly told her I in fact did not owe her $128 for a lock change and she needed to return my un-deposited deposit check as stipulated in the leasing agreement that she herself created. silence. and no check. what a lovely woman)**

Why do I bring this up now, 7 months later?? Well yes. it still hurts. However, I have developed some painful tendinitis in both feet because of the flat-foot, flat-shoe combination I have been rocking since around January 2009.  I am not claiming my CK sandals to be the most supportive shoes ever created, but they sure beat flip flops.

enjoy my shoes, Mirella. *squinting eyes* Karma will get you! I, (un)fortunately, need to buy new shoes. quickly.
