The Shoes Lasted Most of the Night
I am impressed with the shoes. And the shoe stretcher. And maybe we can all give me some of that credit too. I wore the shoes.
On Thursday I could barely walk to the other side of the office and I made it maybe three hours total with them on. On Friday, after the right shoe sat in the shoe stretcher over night and the left one for several hours, I was able to put them on at 6 and I took them off at around 10 or 11. I think. In all honesty I don’t know what time I took them off, as my watch did not match the outfit, so I didn’t wear it, but I know that I danced a lot and most of the dancing was done in shoes.
I don’t have pictures of the shoes, but here’s a link.
Now I will stop talking about them.
The party was fun: Food, drinks, games, prizes, and dancing. I haven’t gone dancing in at least 8 years. I had forgotten how much fun it is. Remember those high school dances where everyone sat around on the gymnasium bleachers, just watching the cool kids dance? And by cool kids I mean the ones who were smart enough to know that it was more fun to dance than to stand on the side judging. (Although I did my fair share of judging too…) Well this was kind of like that, except I’m still a dork despite the amount of time I spent on the dance floor.
Thankful for a super snowy snow day today, which I am using to nurse my hangover.

Am I not capable of talking about anything but the shoes these days? If you know me in real life you’ll know that the answer is no. It’s just the shoes that I’m talking about.
They don’t fit.
They weren’t cheap and they don’t fit.
Jim got me a shoe stretcher and the right one will sit on the stretcher overnight in hopes that there will be some sort of Festivus miracle and in the morning it will fit, because dammit, these shoes are hot and I really really want them to fit.
At least the dress fits.

Quickly before I go to bed:
I had snowboarding class tonight. Yes, I already know how to snowboard. But what I don’t know how to do is do it well. I can’t keep up with my husband, which bothers me only because I know that we learned at the same time. Nevermind that I sat out that one year where I was pregnant, and then didn’t really feel like going out the next year because, well, SOMEONE had to stay with the baby. I honestly thought that I would never do it again.
And then this year, like I do every year, I decided that I felt like giving it another try. This time I decided to take a three-week series of women’s-only lessons, so that the whole keeping up with boys thing wouldn’t be a factor. AND instead of the day-long lesson I did at Sunshine last year, I picked something way closer to home – I drive there after work and do my 90 minutes. It’s the perfect length!
So far I love snowboarding again. Have I ever loved it? I don’t know. I don’t actually know that I’ve ever had this much fun. Now that I’m beyond having to pick myself up after every turn, I see how some people might call such an activity “fun”.
Also I bought shoes. They are perfect and hot. And a little small. But there was no size 9 in the city and 8.5 is totally close. And they stretched them in the store. But not enough, and I’m scared that my shoes that are oh so perfect will be oh so painful at the party that I’m planning to wear them to on Friday.
