I really don't want to count my shoes.
Crap. I forgot about the four boxes on the shelf in the closet. No way they're fitting in that bin.

I had more than a 21 gal tote of shoes
Pretty sure I have that many just at work.
I would not want to count. But I have gotten way better at dispensing of the ones that a)hurt, b)are falling apart, or c) filled the same niche as something newer and cooler that I like better.
Otherwise I'd be totally out of control.

The bed is SOLD! and gone! happy day. Now to get someone here to buy the plastic bins. Next up to sell: 2 car booster seats, vintage canisters, and some books. If I sell off everything else maybe I keep all the clothes?

I'm weird with shoes. I find a pair of black boots I love, say, and I just wear them forever, until they self-destruct and I need a new pair.

Do you drink the Honest Tea/Honest Ade series, ita? I really like those for mildly sweet beverages. And they have teas and fruit drinks and stuff.

I do the same, but then I also buy them in brown and burgundy.

But but but! I need black boots with buttons, and ones with pink ribbons, and ones with glow-in-the-dark bones! Not to mention the pink boots, and the ivory and black boots with the red buttons!
(Some day the Thrift Store Gods will deliver unto me a pair of Fluevog Babycakes in the pink/cranberry colorway. I have faith.)

Clearly I have to get to TX stat! But PA will be spared.
Oh, I think megan better close her eyes tightly if/when he visits me then....
I used to love honest tea (it started in Maryland!) but don't like the current flavors as much.

I have two pair of sneakers, one pair of sandals, one pair of boots for when it's snowy/icky. I replace them when they wear out. I am missing the shoe gene. Perhaps it's like the ability to roll your tongue (which I can do).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you drink the Honest Tea/Honest Ade series, ita?
I've only tried one Honest Tea so far, and I think I like the watery Snapple better.
I have a million shoes, most of them black, many of them a) boots b) mary janes c) ballet flats.
I still need another pair of mary janes at least. But I do have the holy grail of them--I wearing a black steel toed pair right now. IN MY SIZE (the orange pair are a little big).
