Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Kristin, I feel the same way about flats, but given my hip that needs to be replaced, I can't really wear any heel at all anymore and I also need shoes that slip on and off without me having to reach them for any reason. 'tis why I gave up my awesome platform shoes to lisah.

Anyway, I need to find new dress shoes. Never had much use for them since I never dressed up for work. I've been a nurse for 30+ years. I wear scrubs. It's like wearing pajamas to work. Now, however, I'm starting my academic teaching internship and will need to dress like a business casual grownup. I need to go clothes shopping. Before Monday. Being about 50 pounds overweight, I hate this.

Kristin, you would look totally adorable in flats.

Agreed.

I need to find new dress shoes

Danskos might work for you. I like the not-clog bottoms on the Golden Gate styles because I find them more stable and they have a slightly lower arch (better for those of us with flatish feet).

The professor for whom I did the lecture tonight -- as a favor -- neglected to tell me that she wasn't really scheduling me for class time, she was telling them they had to stay late and listen to me. Ei-yi-yi-yi. Some of them were not happy, and I couldn't blame them. I tried to be as entertaining as possible.

OMG so bored! And I needs to pee, Professor!

Thanks, Sparky. Will check out the Danskos. I need arch support though, so we'll see.

I hate shopping in general. So sad for someone who lives within 15 minutes of 3 major malls.

These danskos are cute! [link]

Unfortunately, not in my wee size. If you go somewhere you can try them on, you can check www.danskooutlet.com to see what they have in your size for 1/3 off.

I hate shopping, too, which is why I find everything on the internets.

I meant these Danskos: [link]

Although I love just about any mary jane.

eta: I have those, too, vw, and I wear them all the time.

Oh, those are cute too!

But, then again, I have a thing for Mary Janes. I blame Dorothy.

My Toto is all curled up next to me on the new futon. There's room for us both to stretch out! It's so nice!

What is this "cute" of which you speak?

vw, I like your new futon. Where did you get it? Nice color, too.
