These are all of the shoes I own:
I know, you’re waiting for the other pictures. There are no other pictures. That’s it; just those. That would be totally fine if I were a beach-bum in college, but I am a mother of three in Vancouver, British Columbia where it rains like crazy. Britney Spears crazy. I need shoes.
Today, Josh took me out to fix this little issue, and bought me these:
I paid more for those than I did for all over my other shoes. Combined. I’m dead serious; I did the math.
It’s not that I couldn’t have more shoes, it’s just that I am a penny pinching cheap bastard and every time I think I could squeeze in a pair of shoes I then think about next stupid school fundraiser or the impending diaper purchase or replacing the area rug that I have had since I was single.
Anyway, now I have a decent pair of shoes and my husband totally has a crush on them. He’s got a shoe thing. Someday I’ll show you how many pairs of shoes he has.

No lie, I buy shoes when I want to feel better and have 2 closets full of shoes. Too many shoes to even thing about counting.
Cute shoes, comfy shoes and just plain everyday shoes. Let me know.

Tuesday, 30 October, 2007 at 3:21Darla, I wear a 9-10 depending, or a 40 in euro-sizes. I have circus-freak feet. I’m 5’4″ on a good day, and I wear the shoes of a 6′ woman.

Tuesday, 30 October, 2007 at 4:11Don’t worry, I am living in Vancouver, too and I’m down to two pair. Runners. And Crocs – purchased for camping this summer. Heh. I win!
Anyway, I dream of the light brown suede, high, skinny, muckluck style boots…very practical for rainy Vancity, non?

I think I have 5 pairs of shoes and 2 of those were bought for work. *sighs*
There just isn’t enough money for frivilous things like shoes.

Tuesday, 30 October, 2007 at 14:05I’d share too, but ew. I actually wear all of my shoes. I counted in my head really quick 15 different types of black shoe that I own. I’m a former shoe hog. I think in the last year I’ve bought myself some flip-flops. Ah, money, it’s just not what’s for dinner anymore.
But I do believe in buying expensive shoes for the wear-all-the-time shoes. Which is why I still have a huge amount of shoes, so I must say I’m so proud of you and your new indulgent shoe purchase. Go Josh!
My mom used to sing this song to her kindergartners: “New shoes in the springtime, new shoes in the fall, whenever I get new shoes, I always like to call, ‘happy happy new shoes! Happy happy new shoes to Mr. Lady!”

Darla is sitting here getting ready to fly back home. She’ll shoot you an e-mail about her shoe collection.
