Inspiration!

About 18 months ago CV and I made a list of 101 things we wanted to accomplish in the next 1001 days. Number 24 on my list was to stop buying sensible shoes. After I had Mr. Little Man I just settled into sneakers, sweat pants and tank tops and I wanted to go back to the old me.

I had all these sexy shoes in my closet that were not living the life of scandal they were promised. I am not quite sure what has happened to me in the last 3 months, but I have been on a shoe buying kick. The criteria? Open toe, strappy, nothing less than a 3" heel with an occassional wedge thrown in for good measure. My inspiration came when I was sensible shoe shopping and a man asked me my opinion on a pair of shoes he wanted to buy for his wife. He wanted to know if I thought they were too sexy for a woman in her 50s. Something in my brain just clicked and everything is falling into place. If 50 year old women can walk around in sexy shoes, then so can a woman in her (early) 30s.

Life of scandal......as soon as I find the time, I am coming for a visit. I don't want to, you know, live there.

Sidebar: Item #52 on my 101 in 1001 was "Find a cure for cancer so I can start smoking again". I think its safe to say that that had no business on my list.

What I am reading: I think I am on the 5th chapter of The Black Dahlia. The weather has been so gorgeous lately we've spent every daylight hour at the park playing soccer or climbing the jungle gym at the playground.
What I am listening to: The Perishers - Sway. Love that song!
