so i abandoned my nano novel. my heart just wasn't in it anymore---i am so bad at giving up my evenings and weekends for a project i have a love-hate relationship with. mainly i am annoyed because if i choose to do it again next year, i will have two completed years and one missed year, instead of a nice steady string of three completed years. oh well. partly i think the smutfactor of the story made me sad, made me reluctant, made me feel like i was cheating. farewell, dora!

.

meanwhile the shoes i ordered from sketchers.com arrived and they are ass ugly. i am so disappointed! the shoes i bought from them three years ago were awesome and perfect, and i guess they don't make them anymore. the old ones have cute sort of squared-off toes; the ones that arrived have ugly rounded tips that are too narrow and make me feel like an especially well-heeled maid. :( so i am returning them and next i am going to try ordering one of these from docmartens.com instead:






sigh. why is finding a plain yet pleasing pair of women's oxfords so damned hard? stupid fashion world.

i am! the end may be in sight... i sent you an email. i like the top shoes here best -- dressier. the bottom ones would be great with jeans but perhaps not with office attire as much? is there someplace you can go that sells docs so you can see how they look on you first?

yes, a number of places, although it is hit or miss whether they will have the style i want. another annoying part about this is that the sketchers shoes were a nice $50, whereas the doc martens will end up being closer to $78 or more. (a small price to pay, of course, compared to how much i will end up wearing them!)
