I’ve done it!!!

I've found a pair of non-leather riding boots! AAAAND they don't cost a million dollars!

I know what you're gonna say "Why didn't you just go to Mooshoes!". Well, i did that and they don't seem to have any boots my size.. or..at least no nice looking ones my size. And since i don't wear huge platform gothy type boots anymore (of which i could easily find synthetic versions of at Trash and Vaudeville) finding "normal" boots for the non-leather wearer has become a small obsession of mine for the past few months.

Now, if you know me.. you know i generally hate shopping. Yet, here I've been...looking online...looking in most shoe stores I walk by...just to find that it's either $20 payless boots that will fall apart in 6 months or.. leather.
Finally after much online searching I found these.

This shouldn't be so hard. Usually i find everything I need. Bags and belts are simple enough to find...wallets too. I don't wear a watch so that's that...it's just shoes. I know it's ridiculous and slight but i feel all vindicated now . hahaha

fin.

happy day

So there are times when I really miss Quito. The weather, the fact that my family is there.. all of it. I also have days when the thought of getting out of the stink of the city and living in a big house with a yard and fresh air seems like the ideal.

Then there are days like today when I can't imagine living anywhere but NYC.
It's only 10am and I feel totally accomplished and energized.
I woke up before my alarm went off, went to the gym. Got a coffee on my walk home. Took a shower, had breakfast, and got ready to leave. Found a seat on the train easily and there were no delays at all. Got out at Union Square and noticed that I had half an hour before I had to be at work. So since my boots are falling apart I went into a store and looked for a new pair. (which if you know me is a huge deal since I don't wear leather and finding boots is a bitch and half) Left the store and walked to the bank. Stopped by City Bakery for a latte. Read for a little bit and then came here. Later I'm having dinner at an italian restaurant in the village with friends. I don't know.. I just feel like everything is working today. Maybe it's the endorphins that working out give you, I dunno.

it's just a happy day... :)
