• Shoe Fetish / 5 Pairs of Shoes for My Birthday

  The older I get, the more I like my shoes.   This is nothing sexual,  I just like how they look and then how they feel on my feet.   I didn't really want or need anything except rubber shoes.   I wanted rubber shoes because it rains a lot and I am tired of going to work on rainy days and spending the day with wet feet.  It has happened a couple of times and I wished I had a pair of rubber shoes for those specific days and lo and behold if I didn't pass by the store window and see these on sale: 
                                                                        

  So now I have nice pair of rubber boots to wear on the wettest of wet days,  other than my hiking boots.

  These came in olive green as well and it was difficult for me to decide.  I wanted the olive but these were more practical,  I convinced myself, when in reality it does not matter a whit.

  I told myself, a rationalization which would have made sense to another person ,that the black will go with dress pants.    

  They did not have my size at Shoe Mania of these specific shoes so I had to find them else where.   The second place I looked,  DSW,  Designer Shoe Warehouse had exactly one pair of these in my size and when I saw them I just had to have them out of the blue:

                                                                 

  They are the cutest Keens,  I have a blue pair,  I LOVE KEEN  and I just discovered these same pair in black/grey and black/olive...   if I had seen the other two colors it would have been a difficult choice but this color scheme was what they had and they had exactly ONE pair of size 9,  which is my best size.

  I have a 9 foot and an 8.5 foot and can wear from 8 to 9.5 depending on the specific make of shoe... 

  Anyhow... this was a bit before my birthday but I considered these early birthday presents and besides the rubber, I really just need sneakers... which I still don't have...

  Then for my birthday,  shoes I have seen but would not buy because they were too expensive,  just happened to be on sale.   Three pair in fact and they are:

    I like these a lot.  I don't need them I just like them.

  These are weather and watery too.   I regret buying them now but what it is.

  These I loved a while back but they were too expensive to buy.  When I look again they are on sale,  this specific birthday motivation makes me fork over the cash.

  So now I am a man with more shoes than I need.  I did not need these shoes and only wanted the rubber ones and then of course for "Birthday" I felt like I needed to get myself something ,  I do like the boots that were on sale... so I got these and two pair of pants and one shirt... 

  I did this instead of renting a bicycle and riding around in Central Park or going to Coney Island. 

  I shopped all day and thought about buying a Nook, and E Reader,  I have so many books already here to read... I will wait, I don't need anything and I put money in savings to match my spending, I always try to do that...

  This new moon seems to be a fruitful one..  That is what Virgos thrive on and I am quite the Virgo, all my Virgo friends tell me....
