Admission...

My name is Jodi. I'm a shoeaholic. {the first step toward recovery is admitting, right?}

I have been jonesin' for new shoes and I wasn't able to get any last week because of what I refer to as the Kyle Ordeal. Friday the office was closed and Kyle was spending the day with gramma so I decided to hit a few stores. I had no intention of hitting the mall. I popped into Goodwill to find a fabulous painting project-in-waiting. I found nothing. I wasn't deterred. I spent a lot of time at Target only to find nothing...except a pair of goes-with-anything strappiness...{and they were on sale}

Lovely. Meant to go to Hob Lob but realized I had the wrong wallet with me and didn't want to spend my own money when I had a gift card. I skipped the store, but was really bummed since I have a laundry list of things I'd like from there. On to Teej...{the Maxx} I, again, spent tons of time in there. Wow, to have peace. ;) I found these great Jessica Simpson bright orange spiky heels but they weren't in my size. I rounded the corner only to find them In. My. Size. and In. The. Clearance. Section. But they were still marked at 39.00. Too much. Besides, I couldn't think of a thing they matched in my closet beside basic black. I think I would feel like a pumpkin or something. I did a lot of debating but gave up after noticing the PILE in my cart. 2 tees, 2 tops, 2 dresses, and a handful of trinkets.

Not one to give up while the goin' is good, I headed over to Younkers for my final stop. Needed tinted moisturizer. Ah, the mall entrance was just so close...okay one {more} stop. Charlotte. What did I have to lose? My girl carries the best shoes.

I heard the angels sing as I walked to the back of the store. All shoes were buy 1 get one for 10 smacks! Simply joyous! I just started grabbing shoes off all the shelves. I lined them up in a long row on the floor and when the sales girl asked if I needed to try a shoe, I replied, "Yes...all of these. In a 7." It was then that I should have realized I have a problem. I found 3 I simply could not live without. This created another problem. I am not one to pass up a deal and to not get a 4th for 10. would've been a fashion faux pa. So...

The last pick...actually a great pick because a) this fab peacock color goes with a purse I have and b) {the best} one of the dresses I bought at Teej is PEACOCK! OMG! The same off blue color?? Must've been meant to be!

The fan fave... or at least the sales girl's fave. These are the first pair I tried on. Love. {sigh}

The sassy ones...another girl was actually trying these on. The bottom strip is actually mirrored. These are, hands down, the most comfortable. Funny. I asked the girl if she was buying these. She replied with a "hell yeah." I swore to her we'd never run into each other wearing the same shoes. She said it was okay either way and she'd throw down if she had to. I told her I'd lose on purpose just to buy the shoes.

The sexy ones...according to the myriad of dark skinned ladies checking out my goods. {my shoe pile, people} I was told I had to buy these because they were so sexy. hehe. These are, by far, the Most. Uncomfortable. Shoes. EVER.

I totally am past the uncomfortableness of them because check this out. Talk about making my day over and over again...

Yeah, baby! I already own a 3 piece bag collection that totally matches the shoes! Giddy. Falalalala lalalala. Do alcoholics get this way over booze?

The only obstacle is the shoe closet. Remember the pic I posted? Where am I to put all these new beauties? What would Keith do if he came home one day to find his hats moved? I think it only fair since this is MY vision of loveliness and not his. Whadaya think???
{sigh} {super sigh} I may have a problem but it's so worth it. Couldn't it be much, much worse?
