Sunday is for Plays and Shopping and Shoes
Yesterday, I spent most of the day with my mom. It was sort of a belated birthday thing. We drove up to Wausau and did some shopping, and afterward I took her to see a play at the Grand Theater. We saw The Philadelphia Story and it was fantastic. Mom loved it so much, and she confessed that it was the first theater production she has attended, ever. I was surprised, but honored to be the one to go with her.
The actress that played Tracy Lord on stage was so amazing. She even sounded like Katharine Hepburn when she spoke. Mom and I were so impressed. I think my mother is hooked because she remarked that she’d like to go to another play very soon.
Before the show, we hit Sam’s Club because I needed to get paper towels, hand soap and some bulk grocery items. Then we went to TJ Maxx and I hit the jackpot:
I bought a new wallet and handbag (Nine West) because I wanted something small to carry to work. I usually carry my Coach bag, but now I’m thinking of only using it for special occasions. I don’t want it to get worn out.
And the shoes! Oh, how I love the shoes. They’re Tommy Hilfiger, and I love, love, LOVE them.
It’s a rare occasion that I find shoes that fit me perfectly. I have short, wide feet (that would normally be a size 7 if they weren’t so wide) require wide width shoes. I have the worst luck finding reasonably priced footwear because of this. I just can’t justify spending $100 or more on shoes when this economy is so shitty.
So instead, I picked up this pair of Tommy Hilfiger shoes for $40. And they are wide. They fit perfectly. As though they were made just for my feet. The evidence:
They even look good on my feet! Don’t you think?
What a wonderful Sunday. How was your weekend?

I love the shoes. LOVE.
I stayed home all weekend besides when I went to church. I love weekends. Almost as much as I love your shoes.

Thanks, Sassy! I broke them in today. A little tight in the toes, but nothing a few more wears won’t fix!
Dorsey, I don’t own a lot of shoes, but I just might start if I find more cute pairs that FIT me.
Mrs. Wilson, thank you! If I had more shoes in my closet, I’d consider doing NaBloShoeMo instead of the BloMo.
