Shoes.

I was told today that 75% of all women will spend money each month on shoes.  This stat only shocks men. In fact if you ask a woman: “What do 75% of women spend money on each month?” The 75%-er women will answer it correctly.  I did.  Of course it was a man that pointed this statistic out to me.

Which leaves me to wonder why I have to travel about 12 miles for a decent shoe store.  If I didn’t dislike being in retail so much, I would open the perfect shoe store locally. The thought of working evenings and weekends though is a killer. 

My Newest Addition

I have 3 pairs of black boots, 2 pairs of brown boots,  2 pairs of black pumps (one patent, one leather),  a pewter pair, a snakeskin pair,  aproximately 6 pairs of flip flops, 4 black sandals, 2 brown, 1 camel, 1 silver, 1 ivory, 3 pairs of sneakers, a pair of cowboy boots from 1986 that I bought in Dallas (havent’ worn it in about 15 years, but they still fit and they are classic), 2 pairs of gladiators,  2 pairs of ugg boots, 1 pair of ugg slip ons plus 3 pairs of shoes that are gorgeous but really have no place in my life.  I am sure I have more, but this is what comes to mind  as I sit here and type.

In addition I have the shoes that mark my son’s life.  His first pair of baby shoes, his first pair of Adidas sneakers, a pair of cowboy boots from when he dressed up as “Woody” from Toy Story on his 3rd Halloween and his first pair of “dress shoes”.

My husband on the other hand…..has 5 pairs of shoes in total.  One pair of sneakers, one pair of  light brown casual shoes,  one pair of black dress shoes,  an extremely ugly pair of sandals that I hide every chance I get. And lastly a pair of brown corduroy slippers that have been used as a chew toy by our newest addtion…….our puppy.
