honestly, i'm almost in the mood to dance

earlier this morning, for the briefest of moments, i thought i was wearing two different types of shoes. i can't explain how it happened. i stepped off the elevator and looked down at my feet. my left shoe had just the right amount of sun glancing off the top and i was certain i'd accidentally slipped an old shiny loafer onto that foot, instead of the four month old boot i knew i was wearing. the boot was definitely on my right foot. it had that worn out look at the top. of course, there was nothing amiss. luckily, that split second thought left me unfazed for the rest of the day.

oddly, i've been thinking about shoes quite a bit.

while walking up the subway stairs this morning i knew i'd made a good decision with the boots now covering my toes. in contrast to the six previous wearings, i somehow managed to do a good job securing the velcro "laces." these boots are definitely staying on my feet. part of saturday was spent at saks fifth avenue making a sandal purchase. the warm weather of the weekdays before had convinced me the time to buy summer sandals was upon us. i'm happy with the pair i found but i haven't been able to wear them at all. i'm not sure if it's gotten above 60degreesF all week long. bigger still, i can't believe i'm ready to confront the new york summer as a sandal wearer.
