I have a wedding to go on Friday. I bought some new fancy pants for it. They are quite long, and require heels to look good. So yesterday, I went to Nordstrom and bought these shoes. Black suede pumps, three inch stiletto heels. This is about twice the heel I am used to wearing. The last few years I have enjoyed the fashion of platform shoes with chunky heels. Significantly safer for a girl like me.

Those who know me in RL know that I am not the most graceful of girls. There is great potential for injury and humiliation in these shoes. In their defense, they have a rubber sole with a bit of tread on it, so they don’t slip or slide as much as regular pumps. That shouldn’t stop me. Since I am wearing pants, I really should consider wearing ankle braces. Yesterday, when I got home, I spent the rest of the evening in my new shoes. Walking around, breaking them in. Oh, sure, part of the evening was spent wearing them while sitting on my ass in the Purple Chair. But that still counts.

There is a new spider, I call her Doris, she has quite the round, rotund body and is trying to move in to my mail box. She’s about half the size of Petrov. It occurred to me that maybe I should leave the various spider condos up until the end of the month. They are kinda Halloweeny.
