kind of jinxing it on purpose
Posted by sol in prattle
As a little girl I was convinced that bad things would happen to me. I had reasons to believe that my life was not going to be a good one, so I had this great technique to help me fight my fate. I would append a good thing to a bad thing, because I was also convinced that good things wouldn’t happen. Whoever was in charge of my destiny had to know that in all those bad things I would have found a good thing, so it was perhaps the case of sparing me, they didn’t want to do me a favor did they?
Anyway, this mental exercise has become a routine for me and I always do it, even for the silliest things.
There’s a chance that my hubby will have to travel back to Canada during Easter fucking week. That means I’d be left here, with two kids and with schools closed. That means 24/7 with 2 rowdy little munchkins and no help during bed time. argh.
It would be tough.
What good could come of this?
Well. Shoes, for instance.
You see, I was blessed with a size 12 foot. I was blessed and I mean it, because I love shoes so much, I’d buy a pair a day, just for therapy. But I can’t, because they stop making the shoes I like several inches before my feet begin.
Well, today I found these beauties.
I’ll buy a pair in each color if Michele does end up going to Canada and I’ll have them delivered at his hotel. I would totally deserve them, right?
FYI/be warned – J.Crew 12s run SMALL. I found an adorable pair of slippers on there and had to have them (because I always covet cute slippers and never see them in a 12) and had to send them back because my toes would not actually go inside them. They had to be more like a 10. Label said 12. And J. Crew ain’t cheap. So just so you know, I am coveting those shoes equally but I am not going near them unless they go on super sale, just in case.
Pardon my rant
I just had to warn a fellow size 12 lady.
awwww thanks a bunch Anne for stopping by…… and for crushing my dreams
