I have a few pairs of shoes, ok? Show me a girl who doesn’t. And just the other day I bought myself (eek) 3 pairs of shoes on clearance from Target. (They were on clearance! And there were two pairs with animal prints, but different, and I couldn’t decide which one was cuter, and they were only $5 each so I brought them both home. If and when I decide which one I like better I may or may not take the other pair back. So there!) So I thought my shoe buying was done for quite a while.
But…… I joined Curves this week. Yes, I did. It’s close, and it’s convenient and I can go before the kids all have to get ready for school. And I’ve worked out 4 times this week so far. Hooray for me! Anyway, at Curves they have this little shoe policy. There are signs all over the place about how you are supposed to wear shoes that have only been worn indoors. What? Who has shoes that have only been worn indoors, for heaven’s sake? That’s why we have shoes–to wear them places. I guess the point is to keep the dirt and grit from the outdoors off their machines, to keep the equipment nice and new and clean. If you don’t have new (or only indoors) shoes, you are supposed to wear these little blue booties over your shoes. Like in the hospital. And I just don’t want to wear the booties. It’s just too embarrassing.
Sure, I’m there in no make-up with my hair in a pony tail or pulled back, and I’m wearing my bleached shirt and yoga pants and look OH-So-Attractive, but the booties just are too much. A girl has to have some shred of dignity, doesn’t she?
So I’ll be off buying some new shoes soon. I saw a really cute pair of tennis shoes the other day when shopping with Megan. I wonder if they still have those….

I wanted to thank you so much for your sweet comments and prayers for Parker.
Okay, now I’m going to have to take a trip to Targe to see if I can find me some shoes on sale! 🙂
Just to let you know, it’s not too late for you to host your own Pay It Forward Book Exchange giveaway. I’ve got other bloggers are giving their books away right up to 31 August.
If you’d like to wait and host one for my next PIF Book Exchange, that’ll be in early September.
Either way, just let me know so I can link you on my current PIF post. 🙂
Never heard of that rule, but I guess it helps keep down the dirt. Hooray for working out! You’re doing better than I am!
