I am SO grown-up
First, I have to get this out of the way. Yesterday we got up at the crack of dawn, which of course I photographed:
(OK, so that's sunrise, not dawn, quibble quibble. I'd also already been up for about an hour when I took that picture. Artistic license, OK? Oh, and you can click to see that bigger, in a new window)
We drove to first one city and then to another, to visit doctors. Here is what I learned (ooh, a list!):
- I have a flow murmur and a classic case of supraventricular tachycardia (neither of those things is actually that scary, but they sure sound like it).
- I will probably be having a hysterectomy sometime this spring.
- I should always turn off my cell phone at the GYN office, because otherwise I may end up talking to my dad whilst being examined, and folks, that just feels all wrong.
- T and I still have the happy ability to make a day of boring, necessary stuff into a date, just because we love each other and enjoy each other so much. (kids were with my parents).
Anyway, enough about that, on to the real news.
First, in case you are new to my journal(s), I must re-confess that I was a thirty-year-old woman who had never owned a pair of high-heeled shoes. This has to do with having reached my adult height (which is taller than average) in junior high, and all this deep-seated insecurity about being taller than everyone else. And also laziness, also known as "never getting around to it".
Yesterday, however, I figured, what the heck, and we bought me these:
T wants me to make sure you know that he picked them out. I said I wanted high heels, he did the rest. Aren't they darling? DO YOU SEE THE POLKA DOTS?
(Seriously, though? HOW DO YOU WALK? I mean, is it really all about these little bitty short steps -- well, they're little bitty short to ME, anyway -- or is there some trick to moving quickly and gracefully at the same time which I just don't know about? And also, very freaky when you take off your shoes and feel like your heels are downhill from your toes.)
Comments
i'm short (5'2") and i am telling you, i have two left feet when wearing heels!! those heels you got are darling though! somebody needs to make it stylish for us inexperienced heelers to use a cain when wearing them (well if anything for the security of not falling down!!).
love your blog - kate
