Update

Earlier this afternoon my boss came and sat down in my office, and I immediately asked her, "are you sure you don't have a pair of cute silver sandals that don't fit and you want to give me?" (because this has happened before, with these amazing red shoes that I love even though they're ever so slightly too big for me)  She began to taunt me about how she has these really cute silver shoes that she wears all the time and everyone always compliments her on them.  She may have even stuck her tongue out at me while she said it.

But then, in the next breath, she said to me, "why don't you take the intern and just go this afternoon?  I'm sure she wouldn't mind the walk."

My response was, "um, are you serious?"

The result:

Probably not necessarily my normal shoe style, but they will serve the purposes of this weekend well, they're fairly comfortable, I can see myself dancing in them, and I could wear them with any variety of dress up clothes in the future.  There's a little something extra going on, but they're not so ornate that I'm afraid to put them on my feet.  Because that happens.  More than you'd think.


(photo taken under my desk with the office camera so you could all see a picture - sometimes I'm really shady.  Oh, and just in case you're wondering, the boss who yelled at me about spending too much time on the internet?  On vacation this week, and my other boss is so tired of me asking for more work she sent me shoe shopping in the middle of the day.  I feel like this is ok)

I would like to note that the shoes were $49.95, I used my $50 gift card to pay, and after she rang me up the cashier said, "You have 5 cents left on your gift card."

Really?  What am I gonna do with $0.05?  Well, honestly I'm going to keep it in my wallet until the next time I'm at DSW and then I'm getting my $0.05 off, that's what I'm gonna do.  Still, it seems silly.  I think I could have given them my gift card to recycle and they could have given me that nickel and we would have been even. 

Meanwhile, my night just suddenly opened way up. :)
