somehow this random post ended up mostly about my feet

[rose_griffes]

Hm. I haven't regained any fannish momentum* since returning to my humble abode. Maybe it's the heat sapping my brain... though today it's NOT over one hundred degrees for the first time in weeks.

What have I been doing instead? Peeked at my class roster online, for one thing. Technology is excessively timely; yes, school starts this month, but not yet. Thanks to the online gradebook, I already know the names of my future students. Wow. Doubtless some students will shift schedules, but it's still very impressive.

I decorated some boring shoes this week. How does one redecorate shoes? Here, have a look at some other people's decorated shoes. Fun, right? Time-consuming as well. Now to see how often I actually wear my black pumps with red heels and red flames along the sides.

Speaking of shoes... I WANT THESE ANKLE BOOTS. I don't normally even like ankle boots, but these are adorable, and they're Clarks brand, so they should fit my feet and feel comfortable.

I painted my toenails in silver chrome. Am I the only one who has horrible coordination and has to go back over any attempts at pedicures with a Q-tip and nail polish remover? Painting one's own feet: too difficult for me, apparently. (Though I've never tried painting anyone else's toenails, therefore I don't know if it's any easier.)

I started a Pinterest account today. For me it's another way to bookmark pictures of people's refashioned shoes. Heh.

Now for something completely different: someone at church actually mentioned that Book of Mormon musical this past Sunday. First time that's ever happened; I've never had a discussion about the musical with anyone, much less with someone at church. I was amused by that, since I had just posted about it two days before. (Context: New Testament Sunday school class, discussing what to do when we're offended. The woman who mentioned the musical used it as an example of something offensive to her.)

*Haven't written any on the unfinished stories that I really would like to complete. Haven't read most fanfics by other people, even though there's been a mini-resurgence in fic with characters (hah, I actually typed Karacters for a moment) I normally love. Not to mention all the unread fic from when I was traveling.

Those boots are cute! But a heel, goodness. I can't wear any sort of heel. Hurts.

You are not the only one. I did find that I should just brush across instead of up and down like with my fingernails. It's quicker and I will need my back later in life.

Wear the flaming shoes with the va-va-voom skirt! No, not to school but it does sound like fun. :-)

For me it depends on the heel, but I can do up to 3 inches in a really good brand. Two inches in average brands. I do have a thing about being taller, maybe because I'm the shortest kid in my family. Even my sister is about two inches taller than me. (Two of my brothers are about 6'3" and the other brother is at least 6'.)

I just ordered those ankle boots from Amazon, where they were on sale. Not on sale anywhere else online or in stores that I could find.

OOOOH. I'm gonna try that next time, thanks!

Hee! See, I'm thinking I should wear the black pumps with red flames on the first day of school. BECAUSE WHO KNOWS WHAT A CRAZY TEACHER LIKE THAT WOULD DO, right? Put some fear into them? (I have a sneaking suspicion that this wouldn't actually work...)

True fact: I've never successfully painted my toenails, but since it's usually clear polish, I've avoided disaster.

I'm picturing some pretty awesome shoes right now.

Ahhh, I know! Though it was sad to watch the radar detour around me.

There may be pictures at some point. :)

As for the heat, etc., we didn't actually get any rain here Thursday, but Saturday morning WE FINALLY DID! About a third of an inch. It was such a relief. (Back to over 100 right now, though.)
