The great shoe purge of 2009

by lcreekmo on June 14, 2009

None of these fit.

I was so worried this would happen again. And until the very end of my pregnancy, it seemed unlikely.

My feet have grown another half size.

If I weren’t already sure that the baby is the “third and last” child, as I’ve said ad nauseam, this would be the final straw. Because I’m having to get rid of the vast majority of my shoes, just like I did when the 10yo was born. [Yes, she's 10 now. It's been a busy few weeks here at Fixin' Supper.]

Some of these fit. Sort of.

Even my list of shoes that still fit is fudged. The clogs and the duck boots really do fit. The brown heels sort of fit. And the sandals don’t really. But I LOVE those sandals, and they don’t hurt, so I’m going with them for the rest of this summer, anyway. Meanwhile? Every single other pair of shoes has got to go.

First to be replaced: The Sauconys. Then, some black heels. Then I guess I should buy some brown heels that really fit, instead of just sort of. And I’ll be praying for lots of rain this summer so I don’t look too stupid in those duck boots.

What size are you? I outgrew some of my more snug 9.5 cute little shoes.

I am in denial about the same thing… After Audrey I’m more of a 9 than an 8 1/2. What size do you wear?
AND I’m finally getting around to a baby/wedding present for you all. I’m using the excuse of being out of the country for the late wedding present. As for baby, would you like something new or some gently used hand-me-downs (size 3T/90cm/100cm)? We’re going to Bolivar August 14/15/16… any chance you’ll be in town?
Regards,
Sharon (& Tim Ingle)
