shoes

[juldea]

I've been needing to replace my sneakers for a while; I've had them for a good five years or so, worked them hard, and the holes in the outer toe were starting to be big enough that I could've fit a pinky toe through them, if I ever wore them without socks. And then, yesterday, after the crazy snowstorm Boston got, I stepped directly into an icy puddle deep enough to drench my entire foot.

Goodbye, old shoes. You did me well.

I stopped by TJ Maxx in Downtown Crossing today on a whim before Weight Watchers. There, on clearance, $16, were these babies. Now mine.

Yayyyyy, shoes.

cool. i just got some new boots (hiking-y type) for $10 at famous footwear.
have i mentioned before that i really appreciate your use of semicolons? they're my favorite punctuation.

Mmm, boots. I am sad because my "waterproof" rain/snow boots turn out to be not entirely waterproof, but that's only if I put them to extreme use (like walking through extended puddles) so I just need to remember that they're not indestructable.

You've never told me you like my semicolon use! I find that the way I want to say things, and therefore type them, involves lots of semicolons, parenthesis, and dashes. A lot of the time I think that makes my writing weighty and bothersome, so I'm glad someone has told me the opposite. ;)
