New Shoes

I bought new sneakers today. My old sneakers were cheap and they hurt my feet after wearing them for an extended time. I kept them because I so seldom wore sneakers that it didn't seem to matter. I bought the new pair so I could run again, and that is what I'll do. They are very comfortable, thank goodness, and they don't make my feet look big. I wear a [US ladies size] 7-1/2 and certain shoes make my feet look like battleships, so, yeah, it's an issue for me.

I need a new pair of Timberlands. I used to have a pair of the Euro Hiker, but my daughter's father threw them away "because they were muddy". I kid you not! You can't make that shit up. $100 hiking boots isn't exactly a purchase you make on the fly so there's a reason why they haven't been replaced, yet. I have cheap stuff from Target right now but it doesn't provide the necessary support for serious hikes. It's basically just shoes to wear with jeans that look like hiking boots.

New boots are always on the shopping list. I've worn my black ones with the 4" heel completely out. I need a stylish pair of cowboy boots and another sassy high heel pair.

Notice my use of verb here: need, not want. Need. These are shoes we're talking about.

I'm still on The Quest for the Perfect Sandal. I had it once but the dog chewed them!

This textured strappy sandal from Victoria Secret is absolutely delicious, but it's not really a sandal as much as a dress shoe. The Quest for the Perfect Sandal requires a sandal that I can walk on sand with... hence the very name of the shoe... I would still love this shoe from VS, but for non-beach-related reasons.

The baby and I stopped by St. Maxmilian Kolbe Catholic Church off Spears St. in Port Charlotte to take a few pictures this morning. Here's a few more pictures:

The children having cameras is one of the best things to have happened to this family. They love to capture and be creative, and they have something tangible for their efforts. There are times when Michael and I can just walk around the neighbourhood and shoot whatever we see.

In personal news, I've spoken with my attorney today and feel more comfortable. Wednesday should go as planned, although I'm still not entirely clear on the details but I'll work with it all when I get there. St. Valentine's Day is Thursday and planning for Eddie's birthday party next Saturday begins tomorrow. He's given a final answer on a theme, Transformers, so I start shopping and making commitments. I snagged a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens for my camera off eBay and am looking forward to their arrival.
