Other than my flip flops, my most comfortable shoes are not really shoes. The most comfortable things I can put on my feet all day are my cowboy boots.

A girlfriend on Facebook posted that she was looking for a pair of comfortable shoes since she was going to be on her feet all day. A lot of people suggested clogs and Rockports. I told her to get some good, properly fitted cowboy boots.

Stopped by Kohl’s department store to find a new pair of jeans and see if they have anything good on sale. They were featuring jewelry for half price, so I decided to look for a new pair of earrings to go with my jeans.

I found a nice pair of silver earrings with little chips of dark blue stone. There was only one pair left on the rack and the sale price made them very affordable. I pulled the little cardboard backing off the rack to purchase them and one of the earrings came loose, fell to the floor and slid under the big glass display case. I couldn’t reach it and there was no sales clerk available to help me.

So I didn’t get to buy those earrings after all. I guess it was just not meant to be.

My flip flop collection is dwindling. I had 6 pair of them at the start of summer and I’ve had three pair blow out on me. I guess they just don’t make them like they used to. Hopefully, they will be going on clearance soon and I can re stock my flip flop wardrobe again.

The winter months are hard on my hands and my feet. Thankfully, I don’t ever wear shoes in the winter that show my toes. So I don’t bother with a pedicure unless I am going out to a party or for a special occasion. But now that the weather is getting warmer, I need to spend a couple hours with my manicurist and get back on track. Maybe I can do that on Saturday.
