I liiiike can-die’s! (get it? like the song.)

 

*sigh*

It’s time.

I can no longer wear my black candie’s.

they are seriously worn. out.

this sad truth hit me today during a meeting when i couldn’t cross my legs for fear someone would see the bottom of my shoes — which are cracked and, depending on the angle, show my actual foot.

also, the metal is poking through the heels. and yes it DOES make the ‘click’ sound you hear when i walk on a tile floor sound that much cooler. but it’s kind of tacky.  

also, the word “candie’s” is smeared on the inside from — i’ll just say it — foot sweat.

this is all on top of the fact that i’ve had to use super glue to connect the sole to the actual shoe. and even that has since worn apart again.

i just love these shoes so much.

i originally got them for my grandma’s funeral nearly two years ago. (for $50!) (that’s a lot of money).

and they have since walked in illinois, iowa, south dakota and wisconsin.

they’ve met governors, lovers and johnny depp (ok. they didn’t meet johnny depp. but i did while i owned them, so close enough).

they go great with jeans, khakis, and dresses.

and they have formed to my actual feet. so they are d*mn comfortable.

they’re just so cool.

and now i have to say good-bye.

because im scared that people are starting to talk about them behind their wooden heels — and they deserve better than that.

what the crap? sick in the summer?

ya. thank you very, very much ‘girl who sits next to me.’ apparently you gave me whatever you had.

because i woke up in the middle of the night with a sore throat.

and now i have a sinus headache.

and i feel achy. and fevery. and just plain icky.

and i KNOW it’s not your  fault. (it’s the stupid germs’ fault.) but i feel like crap. so im complaining.

that’s all.

spare a kleenex? i know you’ve got the hookup. you’ve been sick all week! — poor thing.

i gots stuff to do

so after watching an episode of scrubs where J.D. does a triathalon just minutes before he turns 30 — so he can cross it off his list of “things to do before turning 30” — i was, umm, inspired.

im 24 and three quarters (hi. my birthday is Aug. 23. feel free to send me vegan baked goods) and i figure now is as good a time as any to create of list of things to do before turning the big 3-0. (this way i have like FIVE years to get this stuff done).

1. visit hawaii

2. write a book (and get someone to pay me for it)

3. get a decent paying job (without selling my soul)

4. get a kitchen table

5. quit drinking soda. (hmmm. this sounds hard). quit drinking kool-aid. (yes! i’ve already done this!)

6. meet johnny depp. (wait. already did this too! sorry. actually i just wanted to bring that up one more time.)

7. not have a car payment.

8. grow my hair out past my shoulders (or make enough to buy hair extensions).

9. visit south dakota

10. pay off approx. 33 percent of my $45,670 worth of student loans.

11. or! win the lottery (and/or marry rich) and pay them ALL off!

12. get published in Time magazine (a “letter to the editor” totally counts here)

13. go skydiving (cliche, but who cares).

AND finally:

14. stop thinking 30 is old.

so there it is people. feel free to hold me accountable.
