For the feets

[sienamystic]

I took a plunge and actually bought myself two pairs of shoes. I've been switching back and forth between flipflops and the same pair of tennis shoes and leather laceups. The tennis shoes were a cheapie Target buy, and the laceups have done valiant duty but are likely heading towards the end of their usable life. So I bought a pair of Mary-Janes and some sandal/wedgeish kind of things that look comfy and useful for both skirts and jeans, and we'll see how they fit when they arrive.

My feet are super wide, y'all. Shoe shopping has never been fun for me. Zappos does make life easier.

Finished up my mini-Heyer binge, and enjoyed all three very muchly, although I don't think any of them are quite as awesome as the top-shelf Heyers. Although Cousin Kate, the Gothic one, had a lot of stuff that pushed buttons for me, including a riotously happy ending that made me grin throughout.

Now reading Sayers' letters volume 3, O'Brian's Desolation Island, and Bujold's Memory.

I really enjoyed Cousin Kate too. It's a great fun read. The whole 'Oh noes, what is going on?!/why is he so mean to her/OMG, they're so in lurve!"
If the BBC ever decided to dramatise any of Georgette Heyer's books, I believe I would keel over from such joy. And then miraculously revive in order to watch it.

Cousin Kate would make a great miniseries! I wish they WOULD do it.

Yes, my friend is a huge fan of Zappos--she wears odd sizes and tends to buy a style she likes in multiples. I'm wearing new shoes today! And it's going to be 70 degrees today. I'm feeling happy and springy, even if I did take the 6:30 train into work. Have a great weekend!
