Also gorgeous! Look at that tooling!

But $406 boots are beyond what I can do. Plus, I have fat legs and they probably wouldn't work on my calves. But yes. I do love them.

But $406 boots are beyond what I can do.

I think that's my biggest problem with fashion. Even if I was rolling in money, I can't imagine spending $400 on a pair of boots. I saw someone on one of those bridal shows the other day spending more than $10K on her wedding dress, and my jaw hit the floor. I don't know if it's my frugal Scottish blood or what, but I just can't see it.

Now for certain first edition books, the whole equation would change while I was whispering "Precioussssss" and stroking it.

Edited because I can no longer post anything without either skipping a word or making a typo.

Funny, all this shoe talk and I've done something evil to my foot. It was bugging me a bit yesterday, but today it's bad. I think it is something with the whole baby toe structure. I can't think of anything I did except the perching while stripping the spindles or balancing precariously on the loveseat for the same (I should have move it and used the ladder, but I was lazy.) Basically it hurts ball to nearly ankle up those bones with every push off, or I sit with the outside of my foot and leg to the floor. Or when it flexes in the water.

If it doesn't let up in a few days, I'll mention it to my physical-therapist nurse neighborfriend. She actually LIKES giving armchair advice. She's an anomaly.

sara, I am trying to get hatch chiles from the roasting that is going on here. But damn they are expensive! Over $15/pound.

Also, I don't know what's up with Thanksgiving this year, but I want to see you! I wish Grace were more up for travelling because we'd come to you as we have a week off thanks to furloughs. Even if we don't do a big t-day to-do, we'd still love for you to come, even if it means we pack you up to go with us to Brian's Head in Utah.

people are welcome in Texas - cough - cough.

I just have to accept the fact that I'm going to be viciously cranky this week because I have too much to do and not enough time to do it. Half my team is out so I get to do the job of 3 people all week, which is why I didn't get home until 8:45pm. I have a broken toilet, a broken bi-fold door, I need to go to the gym and the doctor and the dentist, and cook all the things because of my CSA.

I'd spend $400 on leather clothing or evening wear. Neither of which I've bought recently. I really want to buy another leather jacket or coat. But, seriously? I have two full length leather coats, two mid length, and three short. And I live in fucking LA. I just love that shit.

I really need to go through my shoes and get rid of all the shoes that aren't fancy that I can't work a day in. And then buy those knuckle-duster hooker boots.

But damn they are expensive! Over $15/pound.

Ouch, the markup! (I don't know what the going rate in LC is, but most likely much better than that!)

I am game for thanksgiving. Wherever it may be. Now maybe Kat and msbelle can coordinate and I can get everyone (ahahahah. Says the woman with the MOST flexibility.)
