Silver High-Heeled Shoes
Thursday, May 15th, 2008 
The other day, I found myself standing in line at a store, purchasing something I have never in my life wanted to purchase before: silver high heeled shoes. What was I thinking? Was I actually going to wear these?
Answer: yes.
Reason: My fabulous (and yes, the word fabulous totally applies here) and dear girlfriend is taking me and 8 other women to Las Vegas for the long weekend. It’s absurd, really. We’re flying in a private jet, staying at a fancy hotel, going to an all-day spa, and spending a whole day lounging by the pool where I can hardly wait to crack THIS BABY open. And while I have to admit, Las Vegas isn’t the first name on my list of places I’d like to visit, I’ve been told it’s something every person should experience once in their lifetime.
And, as my friend Heather so eloquently put it: “Vegas in flats? I don’t think so.”
Fortunately, the store I was in was Value Village, and the shoes only cost me $6. No way in hell was I going to spend 120 bucks on a pair of silver heels. Where would I wear them after Vegas? Grocery shopping? To a poetry reading?
Getting ready the past few days, I’ve been thinking about retreats. This weekend feels so luscious, but where else might I like to go? I found THIS PLACE on-line and made a promise to myself to take me there one day, and in the meantime, found THIS DELICIOUS BOOK LIST…. Many of the titles were familiar to me, and I’m looking forward to exploring the other not-so-familiar ones soon.
I’m off to pack.
