RED SHOES
I finally realized a dream this week. I bought a pair of red shoes! Oh my gosh, they are darling! Just darling. They're Vera Wangs and I got them for $40 on sale at Kohl's. Super comfortable. Okay, you ask, why am I going on and on about red shoes? Maybe you don't have this problem. It's been very hard for me to buy myself clothes or shoes. Only in recent years have I bought myself new clothes very often. When I have spare money, I'd much rather buy the kids something. I blame my mother for this complex. I can't even remember her buying herself anything when I was growing up. She always made sure we had what we needed but rarely did anything for herself. So I learned that at her knee. LOL

But as I've gotten a little older, I've become more interested in fashion. I blame Kristin for this. She got me a purse that's to die for and I decided I needed to live up to the image the purse portrays. LOL But really, these red shoes are milestones for me. For one thing, they aren't totally practical. You can't wear them with everything. I can wear them with MANY things because I'm a winter and I have all winter colors but they won't go with every single item in my wardrobe the way black would. So they are a symbol that it's okay not to be totally practical. They're also a little dressy even though they're flats. So that limits them a little more. So they are just because I've always wanted to have red shoes.

I haven't quite decided when I'm going to wear them. Maybe this weekend to my local ACFW meeting. Or to my next booksigning. But I'll be so proud! LOL

One more thing before I get back to writing. Thomas Nelson is giving away a FREE download of my book Distant Echoes. No kidding! The entire book. It's on my website and the code to download is echoes467. Enjoy!

Is there one thing you've always wanted that you've never been able to bring yourself to spend the money on?
