Work has been exceptionally busy and frustrating as of late. But that’s okay. I like it. It’s challenging. And it keeps me on my toes. That’s for sure!

For just a brief moment I’d like to complain about my Dallas Stars. I mean, WTF? They are totally sucking of late. WHY? What is wrong with them? The man called this evening and asked if was watching the game tonight. I told him yes and asked if he was going. When he said yes, I told him he was a scumbag. hehe At least he took it well.

I have a horrifying confession. I’m in love. Yes, head over heels in love. With Just The Right Shoe. Perhaps obsessed is a better word. I am now the proud owner of eight little shoes. With several more on the way, thanks to Best Good Friend (please see her post entitled “Kansas is for the birds”…I cried I was laughing so hard). I’m cutting myself off this week and I’m stopping. I swear. I have to.

It’s not as if I’m spending my mortgage payment on these little lovelies. No. I’m not that fanatical. Otherwise I would definitely need help. Counseling for sure. But I am a bit … shall we say … gregarious when it comes to things like this. I love these little shoes. Almost more than buying REAL shoes.

I can’t believe I just wrote that.

And no, that’s not a real shoe you see in the picture. It’s a four-inch resin shoe. But I’d swear they were REAL. Hell, I’d wear half of them. The one I have featured here is called Bimbette. LOL

Best Good Friend and I have spent several days compiling a gallery with all the little shoes we can find so we can make a checklist. But there are so many of these I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to (1) get a full checklist together or (2) own every single one of them.

She’s into the Trail of Painted Ponies. At least THEY have a checklist. (I bought her Horsefeathers for Christmas. Go check it out here.)

Anyway…

I’m still working on the dragon story. I decided to introduce my villain and boy is he a total scumbag. I suppose that’s the point though, eh? I hadn’t realized how truly creepy he was until I went back and re-read the passage I had written for him from his POV.

Since it’s Friday and since I don’t have much more to say (AND since this keyboard and mouse are giving me FITS), I think I’ll close with a little excerpt from the current dragon story in progress. Enjoy.
