Did any of you sing along with the title? It's kind of an obscure reference. Dr. Demento has a song that is called Fish Heads. I was going to add the link but hooo boy, is that some bad 80's video. (save yourself, don't look it up)
Anyway...........
I bought new sneakers today!!
I didn't get the pretty, pretty purple ones that I've been coveting because they're ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS for the love of sweet baby jesus.
But I did get a pair of ASICS on sale at the Fred Meyers. Instead of $75, they were $55. Hooray.
I wear a 8.5 size shoe now. I used to wear a 8. They warned me that this would probably happen. As luck would have it, I only tried on two pairs of shoes. The first were $75 and I liked the colors better but the curve of of shoe by the ankle bone *just* missed the screw heads. I guessed that the moment that the shoes wore just a little bit, then the seam of the shoe would rub. *shudder*
What a problem to have, really. I really have to get over my squeamishness about feeling the screw heads & plates.
The second pair fit better, a little further curved down as to avoid any contact with the bumps, we shall refer to them now. But the color is predominantly black with purple trim. I decided that fit was more important than color, which is very mature but doesn't leave me not pouting over the pretty, pretty purple shoes that I really really want.
I know that I've mentioned this before but it bears being mentioned again: WTF with all the wildly colored sneakers? I grew up in the eighties for goodness sake and I am surprised by the wild color combinations.
So, there is one more step (see what I did there?) toward normalcy. New sneakers!!
