you get me


I bought these shoes last night. My husband  really likes them. What is it with men and hooker boots?

Oh, and trust me: they might be Anne Klein, but I paid nowhere NEAR $137. I'm a cobra shopper, baby. Wait for it, wait for it, then STRIKE when the venom drips from the fangs. (Either that, or just go to the back of the shoe store and thank God that the size 11 you were cursing Him for 3 minutes ago is now the reason you are getting these great boots at a deeply discounted price.)

I wrote letters during church today. Scott doesn't believe me, but I can concentrate better that way. I can fill pages and pages full of frivolous tripe - I think with that talent, I could pass as an Obama speech writer.

Today Scott and I had a fight (yes we did, honey... it wasn't an argument, it was a FIGHT), and afterwards I took the kids to meet my parents at a salad bar place. 3 plates in hand, I told my dad I could handle it myself. WRONG. 

Shattered glass everywhere, broccoli florets and carrots on the walls, me telling myself, "do NOT cry. Rachel, DO NOT cry!" Dang it. Embarassing.

The guy in front of me said, "That could have happened to anyone."

I think that was the only thing stopping me from having a full-on sob-fest. I went over to him later with my bowl of ice cream and thanked him for not looking at me like I was a moron.

I love my children more than I love myself but sometimes I want FIVE minutes without a grimy little hand grabbing my arm.

You get me?

I think your question is a good one. Why do guys like those kinds of boots? There's got to be a reason...they are hot!

I'm a guy and I don't even know. LOL.

Yes.

And it could have happened to anyone. Bless that man.

Thirsty Girl's comment reminded me that I wore boots like that on Thanksgiving at my parents' house and my aunt (the one you have met) called them something very naughty very loudly in front of my very conservative mom! So funny.
