I got the call that my new heels had arrived at Payless (I get in store delivery to keep the peace at home). So I finish up at work and head on over to the store like I've done a number of times before. I gave the girl my name and she went to the back to get my package. I thought I knew the routine so when she walked back with the box I was ready for the handoff. Well, she went right past me and behind the counter and said she was going to check my order. As she began to open the box I experienced instant terror and must have turned 10 different shades of red. As we both looked into the box at my new shoes she said "size 12 wide sir". All I could say was "yep". Then she gave me the shipping invoice and told me I would need it if they didn't fit. At that point I realized I really didn't care as much as I thought I would. I took my new shoes, said thank you and headed out to my car with one thought, to slip on my new 4" sling backs. As I get to my car what do I see but a ticket on my windshield for an expired inspection. My new $20 shoes were now up to $85. Talk about ruining my good time. So I get into my car slip on my shoes and all the problems of the day just melt away.
I guess the point of all this rambling is that at least for me, a new pair of heels will cure any advesity that life throws my way.
