mmm ... gin marini. you read my mind. i was just thinking about what my first drink will be after my 6 months of no alcohol (which ends on Sept. 17th, btw ... mark your calendar). I decided it would be a dirty Sapphire martini. yum.

i have high arches too.

*Happy Friday smooches*

i haven't had a martini in such a long time. mind you, my drink of choice is now a gin-and-tonic. the afternoon bartender at the karaoke bar that i go to makes them soooooooo well.

Shoe shopping goes fast for me, too.

But it's mostly because I only buy shoes when something jumps out at me (for example, the pair of yellow shoes two days ago that a person can't help but see first).

My feet have almost no arch. Shoes last a long time for me without wearing out. :-)

I have incredibly high arches. Once I was a bank teller and was required to wear pumps and stand up all day and my arches fell. It hurt. I bought some Birkenstock hippy shoes and they fixed my feet. I wear Birks all the time now, even though they're fashion-backward to the Nth degree. Oh well, I live in the middle of nowhere, it's not like I could even get away with good shoes.

I Iike to stuff green olives with bleu cheese and put them in martinis - delicious!

mmm... blue cheese stuffed olives .... yummmmmmmmmmm...
also good: garlic-stuffed olives and feta-stuffed olives.

mmm... olives.

Ooh Prada suit! Swanky.

Happy Full Moon to you honey! I had to google the word instep...do asians have higher insteps compared to others? I dunno.

I'm very brand-loyal when it comes to clothing, especially shoes. Comfort is number one to me, I'd probably buy a pair of ugly but comfy shoes than pretty ones that I can't bear wearing.

I love Camper and probably will buy a Birkenstock next, although Birks have a reputation for being lesbianic. Are Regal shoes comfortable?

And I want to know how your shoe came off your foot, fell on the ground, and had a bicycle run it over without the guy falling off his bike. I think any guy running over my work shoe would probably fall off the road and get hit by a car.

I have wide feet so I feel most comfy in sandals/slippers. Shoe shopping is really no joy for me either. But i do own near 20 pairs of sandals/slippers.... lol

Hi EnviroBoi,

I don't think I can live without adult beverages for that long. It's less than a month. kewl. I am pretty sure you should go easy on the first day. A sapphire martini, dirty sounds really nice. :-) Make sure it's dry and good enough for your first day. :-)

You do, too? So you can't wear incredibly flat loafers? That's pitty. Though I like my arches. (that's, right an "arch" was more fitting in that sentence. Thanks!) Have a happy weekend! Smoooootches! (yeah, there is a t in there)

Hi Raph,

A gin and tonic is very refreshing! But I prefer something really really dry. When I ask for a dry martini, and it isn't dry enough, here is an unhappy man. :-) When I go to a bar, I usually order something I am familiar with. I feel like I should explore more as there are various kinds. Afternoon bartender.... wow. I don't think i can start a martini that early. :-) But then, when I am in Vegas, I drink in the morning. :-)hahaha. Have a great Saturday!

Hi Lo,

Yeah, I mean I can't spend a lot of time on shoes. They are just shoes, you know. :-) But then, I can't spend a lot of time on anything for shopping. I guess I am queer enough. Since your arches are flat, you are the best candidate for Gucci's ridiculously expensive flat loafers! I was devastated when I tried them on several years ago. :-) Get better, Sweetie. Happy Saturday working!

Hi Mush,

I realize many western shoes are designed for people with no arches or something... What's up with them? Moreover, you were one of those bank tellers? wow. I can't count bills very well. (T_T) Birks are very comfy for sure. They are cool looking. May I say they are very Pacific Northwest? hehe. I've never had blue cheese stuffed olives.They sounds sinfully grown-up. :-) I willcheck them out! Happy Weekend!

hmmmm.... a martini with those olives. those are great, enviroboi. just a few more weeks!

Hi Will,

Yeah, I should've used the word "Arch" instead of instep. But I couldn't come up with it. sorry. Instep sounds really figure skating. :-) comfort is always my top priority! I agree. Regal shoes are very comfortable, Will. They considered the characteristics of Japanese feet. :-) I ran across the street via crosswalk and one of them just fell. I shouldn't have run but I was almost late for the meeting. and I couldn't stop right there and the guy on a bike behind RAN IT OVER!!! *sob* But they are almost expired shoes so that's o.k. :) have a fabulous weekend!

Hi AJ,

Okay, that's kinda inconsistent, isn't it? You dont' find it enjoyable for shoe shopping but you have 20 pairs of snadals???? You are like Carrie Bradshow from Sex and the city. So you wear a different pair of sandals every day? hmmmm.... interesting. On the other hand, I only own 1 pair of sandals which I barely wear.... hehehe.You have a great weekend evening!
