Life, death and the pursuit of new boots.

Have you ever tried to purchase a pair of boots in the summer? I mean really, go out and go looking for a kick ass pair
of riding boots. I have the exact pair in mind - they have to be kick ass / sexy / edgy and the right shade of brown or black.

My 2 pairs of riding boots have, well, been ridden hard and put away wet (yeah, I know gross) but I took inventory of the boot situation today and decided it was time for another pair.

Right. Summer. Boot shopping. Not going to work. So tell me, why is it that I have to purchase items based on what season it is. Really now, who decided that I did not require boots in the summer. I totally do. And not dumb-ass cowboy "welcome to the stinking Calgary Stampede, I just got of the farm boots" but boots that I can ride in and look good in.

I actually wasted 4 hours looking on line for a pair. 4 hours. ack! time suckage at it's very best/worst..

Oh yeah and I am losing yet another friend who is moving away. Sigh. Maybe this shopping is a distraction from What is really irking me. I live in one of the biggest cities in Canada, yet my friends all seem to live in other places. Calgary, Campbell River, Seattle, Portland and beyond.

So let's see. Today = Friend moving :( / no boots purchased and baby bird got eaten by cat right in front of my window. Yep. And I actually got out of bed today.

Time to pour another Gin & Tonic with pineapple juice for good measure and take stock in today.

Apparently - Stephen told me that in the 4 hours I wasted on line I could have gone to the shoe repair guy and had my boots repaired.

That's not the point Stephen - what the fuck do you know ya wanker!

kisses.
