SQUEEE!
Okay, so today's been a spectacular day. With the exception of vacuuming, the body of the house is now presentable. Both piggies got cages cleaned, I had my therapy appointment, and then Megan hit me with a stunning revelation:
There was enough money in the account to replace some of my desperately worn shoes. With Otakon literally right around the corner, and the heel starting to come off one of my only surviving pair of flats, this was pennies from heaven.
Enter Payless Shoes. The one near me carries all the way up to 13W in womens shoes. So off I bop to do a bit of shopping; just the thing to boost a girl's spirits. :) On my way over, I notice that the tennis shoes I was in (size 11 mens), were practically falling off my feet. Which was really odd, considering they just BARELY fit when I bought them 8 months ago. But then the oddness continues; the 13M's at Payless are too -big-. o.0 A year ago, I could with -effort- shove my foot into a 13, and now... they're too big? Armed with that oddity, I went back to the rack and pulled an 11W, a 12M, and a 12W. The 11W was wishful thinking. :P But I was surprised to find that the 12M -FIT-. In one of the styles I selected, the 12W fit better than the 12M, but still...
What I ended up with was the Bonita Mary Jane and the Marge Comfort Step In (though mine are black, rather than navy)... two pairs of shoes for -under- the $25 Megan said I could use for ONE! (It's a known fact that the poor girl can't find a bargain to save her life. :p)
YAY!
But... what's still puzzling me... I checked with my Dad... and he remembers having to find Mens 12's for me as recently as three years ago. Are my feet shrinking? Am I -not- comdemned to living life as a 6'3" hobbit?
WHEEE!
