Mary Janes

Monday, December 29, 2008


Today I had all to myself. Audrey went to the sitter and Lindsey worked. I slept late (9:30) and then hauled some stuff in to Kangaroo Kids, took the car by the Subaru dealership for a quote on the headlight damage we suffered on Saturday (OUCH...$565), and then went to Target for a quick return. I also snuck in a little shoe shopping. Almost two years ago I finally had to say good-bye to my favorite shoes of all time. My Born Mary Janes (see my feet in the header of this blog). I searched high and low for a replacement pair online, with no luck. I finally gave up the search. I found a substitute, but they were like a rebound relationship. They never held a true place in my heart.


Today, I'm in DSW and holy holy holy...there they were. I danced. I know that at almost 42, holding on to this love of Mary Janes is probably the equivalent of holding on to mall bangs or acid wash jeans. But I L-O-V-E these shoes.
