Had a good, if busy weekend. Saturday was errand day - I brought the car in to have its battery looked at, returned a ton of bottle and cans that had been stacking up, and bought a new dress and flats for a wedding I'm attending this coming weekend (it's been a while since I attended a wedding, and my old flats have kind of fallen apart in the ( Read more... )

Just a comment about shoes. Have you ever shopped at Shoe Warehouse? They carry a wide variety of styles and have odd sizes. I am almost always able to find one of the more plain shoes in my 9.5 size.

Is that an online place or a brick & mortar? Either way, I don't think I've been there, unless they are the same place as DSW (which I think stands for Discount Shoe Warehouse). If it's a brick & mortar, I'll definitely check it out ( ... )

Ugh. I was referring to DSW, but apparently my shoe size is not as obscure as yours. Empathy.

Oddly, it used to be. I also wear a 9.5, and it used to be there was a hole in the sizing-- "smaller" sizes went up to 9, and then "larger sizes" started at 10. Presumably someone figured out that there was a vast untapped market in the 9.5 shoe size, because in the last 5-6 years all of a sudden they've been everywhere I've looked.

But I hear you-- I wear 9.5 wide, and finding wide-width is almost as much of a pain as finding narrow. I've resorted to stocking up once a year when my cousins and aunt and I do a Girl's Day Out and hit Birch Run.

What you're describing is what happens with subcutaneous fluids. It's normal.

*hug* Hey. Happy YouDay. You should get totally wasted and then tear through downtown in a Zamboni doing sixty while blasting Bon Jovi (the new stuff, because you're a rebel) and then when the cops find you at two in the morning naked having a shouting match with a mailbox (and totally winning) they take you home and tuck you into bed.

Or, you know, *something* fun anyway.
