listersgirlI just bought two pairs of very expensive (for me, queen of Payless) shoes: real shoes for running, the kind that don't come from Zellers and are actually fitted properly, and Birkenstock sandals. I'd been thinking about the Birks for ages, because I have had a terrible time finding sandals this year, and it's so important to me to have shoes that I can *walk* in, for hours on end, because that's what I like to do in the summer. Anyway, I'd been making do, but yesterday I went out walking (and it was glorious, and I was deliriously happy, and if I ever thought that my moods weren't defined by the weather, well, I was an idiot) and came home with ENORMOUS blisters. Real blisters, too, not just rubbed sore spots. So I gave in and bought the damn sandals that I know work for me, although I will probably have this sick feeing in my stomach about the leather thing for ages, my feet will be happy.
I also bought socks, and a new shade of blush. OMG MY LIFE IS SO EXCITING.
I don't really like shopping much. It's fun as a social thing, or going along with other people while they're doing the shopping, but I pretty much hate doing it for myself. I think this is because I really hate having to ask people for help. Or maybe I hate feeling like I don't know anything. Or maybe I just don't like the attention, I don't know.Also I always feel like store clerks are laughing at me. So it takes me a while to work up the courage to buy things that I can't just pick out myself, like shoes that aren't from Zellers. I did ok in Running Room because there was no-one else there so the guy came up right away, but I nearly left the other shoe store before anyone had a chance to come up to me, and I must have walked by the MAC counter about 5 times before I was willing to say anything.
Whatever, it's done, I have shoes, I'm going out running tomorrow with my new comfy shoes and the summer running clothes I bought at MEC on Friday, and it'll be very fun. I'm picking a new route, though, one that doesn't have the evil hill of death that NEARLY KILLED ME last time.
Meanwhile, I have finally watched every single DVD I own except one, including commentaries and extras, and I am feeling bereft. I really should stop "accidentally" looking at Amazon, eh?
