When a Bad Day Meets a Good Shoe Sale

You know, when you need to lose 30 pounds and your husband says no to baby No. 4 and you need a writing job and the calendar says PMS, why not buy some shoes? Shoes fit whether you're a size 12 or a size 4. Shoes don't care if you have a cool writing job or not. Shoes are your friends.

It's not as bad, or as good, as it looks. The stack includes two boxes for Ava and two for my mother, and about half of all of them will go back. Still, the whole exercise really brightened my week. I especially enjoyed watching the UPS guy walk back and forth a few times from his truck to my house. Did I mention I have a tall, dark and handsome UPS guy? He looks to be in his early 40s, which makes him even more attractive in my book. If they make a UPS guy calendar, he should be in it, perhaps even on the cover. Maybe I'll snap a photo of him next time and make my own calendar. That wouldn't be so wrong, would it?

Anyway, if you need a little pick-me-up this week, head over to Want Not to find out where to get shoes on the cheap, with free overnight delivery and returns! The trick at Endless is go to the sale page, sort by lowest to highest price, and buy only one pair of shoes per order, so you get the $5 off on each pair. As for me, I'll be test driving my new strappy sandals. Yeah, yeah, I'm just home with the kids. But who knows, maybe I'll get a UPS delivery.

  • Hahaha!! Got a good laugh out of this, especially at the part about the UPS guy.

    You know, even if it seems unlikely, the hubby can change his mind. There's always hope, especially because he loves you and so what makes you happy is important to him as well. =)

    Btw, the sandals are gorgeous -- style, color and all.

  • Great tip on the Endless.com $5 trick. Unfortunately, my feet are too big to participate! I have to buy at places like Dreamshoes where the shipping is not free! But at least they have my size (13)For my other bigfoot sisters out there, check out http://www.shoesofyourdreams.com
