Today I Bought a New Pair of Shoes......

Which probably doesn't sound momentous or even noteworthy.
But it is.
True, i bought them from a catalog via the phone.....
but......i bought them.
And afterwards i realized that...........this was an act of affirmation. An act of anticipation.
An act of size 6 COURAGE.
Because when you are a "bubble woman" trapped within the confines of your walls......the very act of buying SHOES is a statement of intent.
Because i do not wear shoes at home...in my house.
So.....somewhere in my mind i have faith that sometime in this next season of my life.....
i intend to GO OUT.
and thus....
i am proud of myself.

i am open to all comments as to exactly WHERE i should wear these all leather, brown, form-fitted mary janes..........yeah, yeah.....i know.....i used to be a stiletto kind of girl.....but.......hey! these look cute in the ad, and......should i happen to fall down, it'll be a shorter fall.
and that is all i have to say. The rest of my opinions can be seen on the Daily Show or Colbert Report.........bye.
