I so glad my sweet, adorable eldest child doesn't think I'm preachy and never wanted to hur me out the window - even when I was I was in vigilante anti-pigeon mode.<BR/><BR/>I've never read Catch-22. I guess it will be next on my reading list.

Like you, I can no longer wear shoes with high heels or even medium heels and I refuse to get into granny therapeutic shoes! lol These days it's flat heeled sandals, flip flops and running shoes.<BR/><BR/>As for the book quiz, here's mine...<BR/><BR/>You're The Giver!<BR/>by Lois Lowry<BR/>While you grew up with a sheltered childhood, you're pretty sure everyone around you is even more sheltered. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, you were tapped on the shoulder and transported to the real world. This made you horrified by your prior upbringing and now you're tormented by how to reconcile these two lives. Ultimately, the struggle comes down to that old free will issue.

Decided it was well worth the ability to, oh, WALK instead of hobble for days afterward. Nowadays you'll find this old broad in zapatos no more than an inch or so off the ground. And there are stylish little numbers out there without the pointy pointy pointy toes and the pencil-thin stilt heels as well. We short, fat broads love 'em.<BR/><BR/>We keep the black, lace-up granny heels for SPECIAL occasions...Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289638969194601415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34850610.post-39631734728454022392007-07-30T11:23:00.000-04:002007-07-30T11:23:00.000-04:00Cute shoes and I agree...heals are OUT!
