I’ve been writing things on my hand lately and joking with people that I was putting ______ (whatever we were discussing) on my Palm. I needed it. I forget a lot of things. So I got this:
Well, one of these. Not all of them.
But an iPhone. Pretty exciting. I’m looking at that picture and realizing I need to add that jewel game. I love it.
Anyway…
Shelby was on-time to piano today for the first time in a month. I would call that a major victory for iPhone.
And while I’m talking about random stuff, I have to admit I’ve been thinking about something a lot lately that has really been bothering me. I have to just get it off my chest.
I came across these boots the other day, don’t ask me what I was doing at Bergdorf Goodman, because I really don’t know. But I’ve been so bothered ever since. I’m fine with someone wanting to spend $750 on boots. If you have it and it’s what you want to do, go for it. But to spend $750 on boots that make you look like you have the worst cankles ever? (cankle=when there is no size difference between your ankle and your calf)
It looks to me like the leg of a very old woman who, due to medications or illness has gained about fifty pounds of water weight, mostly in her legs, who spends her days wearing slippers because shoes just don’t fit. But on Sundays, to look her best, she puts on black tights to hide the purple veins and squeezes into her best shoes.
I always feel a bit bad for that woman. And I feel like she’s a hero for trying to make the shoes work. That is just totally admirable.
But to pay $750 for that look? Nuh-uh.
Just had to get that off my chest.
If you’re going to buy boots, just choose. Boot or shoe. Combining them is not a good idea.

tee hee. Those boots really are hideous. How exciting that you got an iPhone! Maybe one of these days… hey, how much do you all pay for piano lessons? We were going to start Maddie this year but had to postpone because we couldn’t find a single teacher charging less than $30/half hour here. I know it’s been some time since I was taking/teaching lessons myself, but that seems out of control to me. Do I just need to suck it up and start saving more money for lessons?
That heel is hurting me just looking at it.
AN iPHONE?
Let’s do lunch.
Can you pencil me in?
One of my design teachers in college used to say, “If only people with money had taste and people with taste had money.”
So true.
Ok, I about cried I was laughing so hard!
Haha! Shannon, you crack me up. Your description of the boots was right on. If you take off the boot part, though, it’s a pretty cute shoe. What a shame!
And I’m beyond jealous that you got an iPhone.
Those are some seriously fugly boots. I’d pay $750 to watch a pair burn.
Love your new phone. I’m hoping Santa brings me one this year.
hahahaha! An iphone is on my list when our current contract expires! Yay for you!!
you are too funny-love the story about the boots and they are UGLY! i love bejeweled too
you crack me up shannon!
Shannon, YOU ARE FREAKIN’ HILARIOUS!!! I loooooooooved your description of the purple veiny legs, yuck, but I could totally see it! You seriously CRACK me up! I bet you keep Dave rollin’! If not, then what’s the matter with him???? :0)
I guess I’ll send my boots back . . .
Don’t make fun of us cankleites. We have feelings too. I’ll never understand people. There’s some inspiration depleted designer somewhere who’s in serious denial.
