Do these shoes make me look like a hooker?


So this is obviously going to be a very different post from my usual, LOL!!. And recognition of the "era of Beyonce" has led me to the realization that I needed to seriously update my shoe wardrobe. My mother has worn 4in heels for as long as I can remember and now in her mid 60's she still does. As an aside about 17 years ago, my step Dad accidentally threw away almost EVERY single pair of shoes I had (he claimed he thought they were in the salvation army box), so it has taken me this long to get back into shoes again, LOL!!

The problem is that today, the ladies are wearing 6 inch stilettos and all I can think about is how ugly their feet are gonna be in a few years and how bad their backs are going to hurt when they get to be my age, in their 40's. Feet simply weren't made to be in 6 inch heels for extended periods of time! So I've set my limit at 4.5 inches and I'm gonna call it a day since I already have back problems and I like NOT having "hammer time" in my shoes!

Movin' on, we're now in the throws of packing for our move in 2 weeks and someone the other day asked me why I just didn't hire movers to pack for me. Well I tried that before and lost some family heirlooms so I vowed not to do that again as far as packing is concerned. Obviously, I won't be moving furniture, boxes of books, ect, but my most treasured things like my album collection which goes back to the 70's, will be touched by no one but ME, not even immediate family members are allowed to touch that!!

I've also set my date to take the MCAT for August 15th although I haven't officially registered yet. I do plan to register this week, all in preparation for hitting the books beginning the first Monday in June and I'll post on a regular basis my progress.

Guess that's about it for this post, I'm being taken to breakfast this morning for Mother's Day, so I have to run. To all the Mother's out there and the Dad's who function as Mother's, have a great day!

  1. Of course not! In fact, I'm jealous that I can't wear shoes like that anymore without a visit to the ER! I say wear there them while you can!
