I still haven’t found a pair of shoes so I’ll continue to explore today. When I packed, I didn’t think about packing any closed shoes for myself. All I packed were sandals and flip flops. Mind you, we left TX when it was 102 degrees and I was no where near thinking about covering my feet. And it’s already half that here at night time. So in my quest to locate a pair of shoes, I was completely caught off guard when my eyes caught a glimpse of boots ~ just that in itself was enthralling, how often does one stumble upon such a thing when coming from my neck of the woods? I found myself lagging considerably behind as I meandered through the many different styles of boots. Every square inch of the shelves boasted of nothing but cute looking boots (alright, not every single square inch). For one thing, I’m not used to seeing boots and another thing, I have a hankering for a pair. I’ve tried on at least 10 pair thus far when I should be trying on shoes. The boots have definitely contributed to me not finding a pair of shoes. Yup, they’ve been a distraction ever since I started my pursuit.

I’ll have to say, my shopping spree was dedicated to finding shoes. But there have been some other distractions along the way. The other day when I met Jennifer on the sidewalk, she pointed me in the direction of another shoe store in another plaza just down the road from where we were. Well, Home Goods so happened to be in that same plaza and I got caught up in there for who knows how long. All the pretty fall decorations were displayed so nicely and I got lost in the array of autumn color. Silently I wished I had a home for some of those pretties and at that moment I felt sort of homeless. True, I could decorate the hotel room but I do not wish to start a buying frenzy having more stuff to box and carry out of here. Now the plan is to stick to purchasing the things I really need for the time being. Let’s see if I can come home with a pair of shoes today, preferably the closed toe and heal kind and no I don’t need boots yet! (Talking to myself again.)
