Imagine the fun if we were all sitting around a table with beverages, cards, and money in the middle.
I KNEW the shoe reference was going to be thrown on the table, so I already went to the closet and counted.
I own exactly:
1 pair boat shoes
1 pair boat flops
1 pair multi-purpose workout shoes (tennis shoes, sneakers, whatever you want to call them)
1 pair dive booties (do those count?)
1 pair Crocs (for garden)
1 pair of shrimper's boots (long story)
1 pair of old Sperry's that don't really work anywhere but they're cute and warm
1 pair winter boots (also made by Sperry but too sexy for the boat) (but they're brown, really need black ones too)
3 pairs low heeled sandals
2 pairs high heeled sandals
1 pair "little-black-dress" strappy sandals (could really use couple more pairs of these)
14 pairs of shoes. I need a new pair of hiking boots, a new pair of cowboy boots to play in and a pair to ride in, more flip flops, and something more ... suitable to wear to shooting competitions that look good with shorts and are easy to move quickly in. So plenty of shoe shopping in my near future!
Mike Irwin - thank you for your concern. No, have managed not to fry myself yet.
Seeker - maybe your wife and mother say that because there's some truth to it? And I agree about the perfection of raw cookie dough, but not after it's been sitting on the dash inside a hot (but not hot enough to cook it) vehicle for an unspecified number of hours!
Balog - can I fix you a cocktail sweetie? We're just having fun here!
Another hammer quote: when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything begins to resemble a nail. Can't recall who said it but I'm sure one of you will jump in with a name.
CYNCacher - apparently you're spending too much time perusing department store ads and not enough time perusing ads from Ace Hardware, Lowe's, Home Depot, or Harbor Freight.
230RN - sewing machines? Really? That was the best you could come up with? While I own one, it wasn't something I got all giddy about buying. Just FYI for the sake of any future discussions on male/female purchases, we're known for our penchant for purses, accessories of all sorts, make-up and hair care products, and house doo-dads. Just to help ya' out there. :)
Hawkmoon - wouldn't want to be the one at your house who uses the hammer and forgets to return it to it's proper location. I suspect the penalty is severe. By George.
Gentlemen, I finished deadline today and I'm now heading out to play pool, snicker at the karaoke folks, and consume some well-deserved beverages. Y'all have fun this evening too.
