My fabulous niece and I are going to see Wicked tomorrow night. I'm overjoyed! I'm excited about the opportunity to get all dressed up, get my nails done, maybe get my hair did (a la Missy Elliot...never mind).
I have big feet. I wear an 11, which really sucks. Most shoes at Macy's only go up to a 10. Yes, I've considered breaking my foot just so that they could take some bone out and make them smaller. But then I thought about permanently disabling myself, constant pain, and the inability to wear cute shoes ever again, and I scratched that plan.
Tonight, whilst at DSW (which is one of my favorite shoe stores!), I found a way cute pair of heels. They aren't super high, maybe 3 inches or so, and they have cute little ruffles down the top of my foot. If anyone else is an incessant Carrie Bradshaw fan, they are similar to the ones Carrie wore when she went out with Big when Miranda went into labor. Except mine are black and hers were pink. I also probably paid maybe 10% of what hers cost.
Christmas is the season when most legal work slows down. While eviction law is hot right now, even that slows down around Christmas. No one wants to be the *sshole that kicks someone out of their home or business around Christmas. And rightfully so. But, since I'm paid by the hour, it SUCKS for me. I billed a whopping 6 minutes today. Tomorrow, I'll be lucky to get 3 hours billed. And next week? Company party, Christmas Eve and Day, and we get Friday off...I might bill 8-12 hours if I'm lucky. This check is going to SUCK. I hope my bonus is enough to tide me over.
Anyway, I don't know why, but it makes me feel better to buy things after a day of no working. Maybe it makes me feel like I accomplished something. Maybe it disrupts the boredom. Who knows? Either way, I'm proud to be doing my part to stimulate the economy!
