dear emily,
i just read every word of a blog's spring cleaning steps and promptly went
shoe shopping. as i walked out with more than one pair, i passed a young
man looking through his car window at me. his mouth fell open, and i know
what he was thinking: "thank the Lord, that is not MY wife!"
for some reason, he didn't think i could see him watching me, and it struck
my funny bone. so i bent down and said, "ssssh!" . . . like, "don't tell my
husband." i think he was way more embarrassed than i was about my shoes.
don't believe what they tell you: it's pretty fun being a middle aged woman,
and spring cleaning isn't so bad, either.
love,
lea

Ah, Lea, are you really middle age? Double your age and then tell me. I used to tell people I was middle age and then I realized I'd have to live to be 118 so I guess that means I'm a senior citizen. At least I get the discounts -LOL-.
106!!!
Love this! New shoes new shoes!
Lea, I can totally see this happening in my mind's eye! I love it! I hope to be equally spunky and hilarious when I reach middle age (which, by your definition and for the record, won't occur for another 20+ years). :)
I just sent my friend a birthday card and it said, "Go buy the shoes!" Well that is what she did and she sent pics last night through her phone.
You are a "hoot"...you probably made that man's day!
Enjoy your new shoes!!!
Well, shoes are just like that? They call your name and say, "take me with you," I bet it was fun, I will have to say I am spring cleaning next time I go shoe shopping.
Oh...you sound like me!
XO,

Now that is my kind of spring cleaning! =)
Now the test of whether you a middle aged is whether the shoes were those towering platform stilts the young ones are tottering around on.
A woman can never have too many shoes. Imelda Marcos can vouch for that!
haha...I love this. ENJOY!!
Lea,
Are you a shoe-aholic? LOL! Spring just gets you in the shopping mood.:)
That is my kind of spring cleaning, and gosh, I hope I don't live to be 106.
Oh, the privilege! I don't buy many shoes. Maybe when the kids leave home? :-)
Oh wait … we're supposed to buy shoes for spring cleaning? I've been doing it wrong!
So cute. He probably knows your husband. ☺ Did you buy a practical pair for the spring cleaning?
I totally would have done that too. And now I must go spring cleaning shoe shopping - I had no idea that was expected of me ;)
Way to go - you rock your age (whatever might it be!)
Now I'm laughing... sounds like something I would do and say. One of my habits... saying just about everything on my mind.
peace~elaine
