Shopping for shoes

Filed under: Computers, Family, General Living, Internet, Shopping — Copa @ 9:28 pm

I like to have a few quality pairs of shoes in my closet to wear on special occasions.  Sure, I have a few pairs of sneakers, and walking shoes, but I also like to have some “dress shoes.”  A couple of days ago my wife was looking at my shoes and told me that my dress shoes are falling apart and it’s time to buy some new ones.

My wife started looking on the Internet to see what she could find in the way of some classy dress shoes that would be a reasonable price.  She got side tracked by looking at the jildorshoes.com website, which appears to focus on women’s shoes.  She was mesmerized by all of the great looking boots and shoes on their website.  It’s been a long time since she’s done any kind of shoe shopping for either boots or dress shoes.  She showed me a pair of boots on the web page of marc by marc jacobs shoes that she said she would be interested in buying before the winter is over.  She said that the prices on the website were good prices and the selection spectacular.

I said that’s all well and good, but what about dress shoes for ME?  She laughed, bookmarked the page, and kept searching.  I hope to find some soon!

In laws over for a visit today

My mother and father in laws came over for a short visit and to join us for dinner today.  We played a few rounds of a card game called spoons that my wife taught to us, then we played tripoly.  We had a good time playing, laughing and visiting.  Right at supper time my brother in law joined us too.  We had appetizers of shrimp cocktail, veggie tray, and fruit tray.  We had spaghetti and meatballs and garlic bread for dinner, with a jello salad on the side.  Cupcakes and ice cream for dessert.  They brought the jello salad and a variety of ice teas to drink with dinner.  No one went away hungry, which is a good thing.  It was an enjoyable day.
