shoe lust

I am finally going to indulge and get a new pair of everyday shoes. While I have loved my Sketchers, the velcro no longer stays fastened on the right shoe, and I’ve gotten tired of always having to fasten those straps anyway.

I want shoes I can slip on and go, so I’m getting these:

I have been wanting a pair of these for months, since I saw my sister-in-law wearing them. I asked where she found them, went and tried them on myself, and they’re so comfortable! Unfortunately, by the time I went shopping, they were sold out of these “Pear” green ones, the color I wanted. I kept looking, but every place that carried these shoes was sold out of the green ones in my size. Every department store I checked, even every online shop, except one place that claimed to have them, marked up $20 above average though.

But I just got notice from Zappos.com that they’ve restocked my size, so woohoo! I’m getting new shoes!

I am also insisting that Dale get these:

I hope they’ll fit his giant, size 13 feet.

I also really want to get these for myself, but I don’t think I’ll wear them often enough to justify spending over $100 on them, but damn, they’re so cute!

my cat has a $300 ass

Two trips to the vet to deal with an abscessing anal gland isn’t fun for the cat or inexpensive for us.

I’ve also had to look closely at my cat’s ass way too much this week, and I’ll have to continue looking at it for another week until it heals.

*sigh*

things annoying me today

Enviga carbonated green tea energy drink
I like green tea. I like sodas. I don’t like energy drinks. I thought that 2 out of 3 would win, but, no. This stuff is frickin’ nasty, and now I have 5 1/2 cans of this crap left.

Scarborough Research Group
Stop calling me. We are not interested in participating in your damn surveys. I’ve told you that four times previously. Even if you don’t have a call list and a computer magically spit out our unlisted number, you CAN, in fact, give said number to somebody to put on an internal Do Not Call list. What is it going to take for you to understand that I want you to STOP FUCKING CALLING ME??

Forgetting about my sister’s birthday
I didn’t actually forget. I am fully aware that it’s today. But I have this tendency to think that I can buy a card and gift the day before or day of a gift-giving event, and that they will magically make their way across the country in a matter of minutes and arrive on time. Phaedra, I’m a sucky sister, and I’m sorry.

Allergies
Always.

Thwarted shopping
I need a new belt. Target’s selection sucks. I’ll have to wait until tomorrow before I can go out looking again. Also, there are a couple of items I have been wanting to buy from online retailers, but they’re both “restocking” and won’t have their items for sale until mid-June. I AM AN IMPATIENT PERSON! I want my Instant Gratification NOW.

Hormones
No elaboration necessary, and probably a contributing factor to many of the above.
