Chapter 68. Shoes-need I say more?
Biscuit and all men. I apologize in advance for this post.......
It has been well document on the DIS that I am not a fan of shopping and yet, all I seem to be thinking about these days is exactly the thing I detest-shopping.
I needed several new things for my trip. Chonies, jeans, shorts, shoes and perhaps a few shirts.
I've loaded up on new chonies. If you recall, my old chonies had seen better days. I've purchased 1 pair of jeans (one more needed), 4 pairs of shorts (2 more needed) and I need 2 pairs of shoes.
Oops. Needed 2 pairs of shoes. I went to the closest mall. The store is called Off Broadway-which has name brand shoes for less. It's a huge store and I was the ONLY person in there shopping-gotta love having Mondays off. I looked and looked for a specific type of shoe and was having no luck until I went down the back aisle and


I found them...angels sang



; the spotlight flipped on the shoes, and the other lights went dim....THERE THEY WERE. Nadals from Clark. I've seen them on Zappos.com and it was one of 3 different shoes that I was considering-all basically the same style. It's been well documented that Clarks don't make quality shoes, but I figure I won't be wearing these shoes that often...plus I still need to purchase touring shoes--those will mos def be Merrells or Keens or something like that.
Without further ado, my shoes:
I really like them. It's the first pair of shoes I've purchased in maybe 7-8 years. I must say, it felt kinda good. Now for the touring shoes.
EDIT: Uncle update. Well the good news is I was misinformed about my uncle. He does not have cancer in his one remaining kidney. This info was good to hear. However, there is a new tumor in the area where his other kidney used to be. As stated before, surgery is not an option at this point. He will begin 4 rounds of chemo over the next 3-4 months. I don't believe this will affect the vacation unless my uncle were to take a turn for the worse over the next few weeks. Thanks again for all your support.

Love you guys!
