As you all know, I have an insane love for shoes. They make me extremely happy and put a huge smile on my face! However, I had a serious wardrobe malfunction today that turned my smile upside down.
Picture it...New York City...July 2010! I was on my way to work and I got off the train at my usual stop (Fifth Avenue and 53rd Street). The day was going as expected. The next thing I knew, my right shoe felt weird...as if I were wearing flip-flops. However, I was NOT wearing flip-flops! I looked down and realized the entire sole of my shoe was coming off!
I had to hobble the rest of the way to work, praying no one would see me. I rushed into the building and immediately ran to Kayleigh who (after the initial shock) was gracious enough to venture out and buy a pair of flip-flops for me to wear.
Thankfully, I view my own life as a sit-com, so it was quite easy to laugh at myself (while Virginia and Kayleigh laughed WITH me…not AT me…I hope!). I hope you find my life half as funny as I do! If you can relate in any way I would love to hear about it...so we can laugh at each other!
Happy Wednesday!

When I graduated high school in the Houston area in late May in one unnamed year a long time ago, it was hot, hot, hot. We all had to wait in the parking lot at midday and the pavement was steaming and we were all hating those long graduation gowns that we had to put on over our clothes. My feet felt wet and sticky and I thought it was just sweat that made them seem that way. Later that night, when I finally got to take off the pantyhose and shoes, I discovered that the hose and shoes had somehow melted together and I had to cut my pantyhose out of the shoes. Talk about cruel shoes!

Bobby--you didn't have any duct tape in the office??? I think you should return the shoes to Bloomingdales and say that they have a serious design flaw.

So, does this mean that NYC was officially hot enough to melt the soles off your shoes? Wow!

Oh, I can relate! When I was in high school, I went to an amusement park with a group from school. Being an impractical teenager, I wore cute sandals instead of practical shoes. I barely got in the park, when someone stepped on the back of one of my sandals and broke it. There were no shoes, not even flip flops, to be found in the park, so I had to go around all day with a shoe that was stapled and taped together.
