Dancin' time
Went out shoe shopping with D and DZ. This is not a simple outing, folks. This the the combined challenges of finding a size that will fit on DZ's feet and finding a shoe (of the myriads which will EASILY fit D's feet) that D finds acceptable. Yesterday, at the mall, we checked 2 or 3 places. Nothing in DZ's size. Nothing that looked good enough for D.
To be fair, I didn't care for most of the women's sneakers that were offered. Most were pink or pale yellow or bright white with pale Eastery green or other pastel colors. bleh.
Tonight DZ suggested that we go out somewhere. It was 8:30. I looked up the local shoe warehouse-type place. They closed at 9:00. So we whisked off to look at the close-outs and odd-lots of shoes. Whaddaya know? D tried on two pairs of shoes. The first weren't comfy. The second were juuust right and cool-looking. I went over to the men's department. DZ tried on a pair that were not comfy. Then we found another pair and they were juuust right and cool-looking.
And just like that, we were in and out in 15 minutes with a couple of pairs of shoes! D's were normally $69, down to $39. That's cheap for any good pair of shoes but these were Nike running/walking shoes. Too cool. And DZ's were New Balance, normally more than $100 (if you can even find size 15, which you can't) and we got them for $36!!! Oh, happy day!
I'm going back later in the week when there's more time. I'll be looking for some summery shoes . . . sandals or slip ons or something different from the black sneakers I'm wearing everywhere now.
More happy, happy, joy, joy - I got a new pair of jeans this afternoon, just like a pair I've already got, but this time, one size smaller. Sweet.
