Also, have I mentioned that I am IN LOVE with these: [link]
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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.

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.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

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.)
