These boots were made for walking

Yesterday Henry and I took advantage of a break in the weather and hoofed it up to the pedestrian mall in search of Cheerio's. While walking to CVS I passed the Bootery, a local self-proclaimed "high-end" shoe store. I saw these in the window. I immediately fell madly in love with them. We went in the store to take a closer look at them. $190. The fashionista in me died just a little bit. No way could I afford them. Dejectedly I wheeled Henry out of the store.

Later that night I took Flash out for a walk. On the way back up to the apartment I checked our mail. There was a letter from our mortgage bank nestled between our latest Netflix movie and a coupon for a Goodyear Tire Sale. Lately when we get mail from them I worry that it's a notice that they haven't received last months payment. I only feel that way because mail forwarding has been such a disaster resulting in me having to exert a bit more energy into keeping track of the bills. I opened it with not just a little sense of impending doom. As it turns out, they had sent us a check for overpaying into our escrow account. Not just a little check. A fairly decent check.

The question is, is that Fate telling me to go out and buy those incredibly over-priced, ridiculously cute boots? I'm having a hard time deciding...

Buy the boots! Ooh....sorry Dave.

I agree with Megan. Buy the boots!

Sigh...

I guess we know where the ladies stand on this issue.

Guys, please, anyone....?

Good relationships last when both parties are willing to restrain their desires (material). David needs to stop thinking about the 64-inch flatscreen TV and settle for a 58-inch flatscreen TV. Jenn needs to settle for a boot.

Ha-ha, ho-ho, it is to laugh.

Sorry Dave. Buy the boots Jenn!

Just goes to show you what a rip-off Bluefly is!

Did you buy 'em yet?
