I love the look of a hot pair of heels.  Be damned if I can walk in them, though.

I suppose the irony of the fact I can’t walk in heels is my years and years of dance lessons and competitive dance.

I danced in “Character Shoes” which were high-heels with straps.  I did kick lines, and Can-can, pirouettes et all and never a problem walking in them.

I also took 4 years of Pointe.  You’d think with the rigorious routines you subject your feet to in Pointe, walking in heels would be a breeze.  No dice for Joey.

Last weekend when my In Laws were here my Mother in Law bought me a hot little pair of sandles (see below)

I love them, but as with any pair of heels, I have to bring a back up pair of flats when the pain gets to much.

I blister easily.  What can I say.

I wore them to Gibby’s and all the walking around we did by the Old Port, but on Sunday when we went to Church - I couldn’t even keep them on for the service.  I slid them under the pew in front of me.  I hope they weren’t ‘pew’ themselves.

We went to Tim Horton’s for lunch and onto Ste Anne De Bellevue to walk along the boardwalk, needless to say, on came the flats.

The day after P&K’s wedding we all know about the high heel boot fiasco, I sprained my ankle really badly (infact i’m still in a bit of a pain from it) - after my tumble, on came the flats.

For P&K’s wedding, I bought a great pointy pair of heels, and a back up pair of flats that looked the same.  During the ceremony I had to walk up the little staircase, and I knew I didn’t want to chance fate - on came the flats.

Then walking back to the car between the service and reception, well, I couldn’t keep up with everyone in my heels.  On came the flats.

Then there was the dancing.  I couldn’t be expected to give my heart out to the Village People’s YMCA in heels, could I?  On came the flats.

Even at my own wedding, on came the flats.  I switched to a silvery pair of flip flops from my heels just after the ceremony and pictures. 

Colin can always tell when I’m uncomfortable in shoes, he says I go from having my shoulders back and standing tall and confident to a hunched over waddling penguin with piegon feet.

Perhaps I’m only destined to enjoy LOOKING at fabulous heels, and never wearing them.

Sigh. .  . . . .

The Monday Melee Questions:

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.

The constant need to one up and be better than your friends and family.  Why must we constantly out do the ones we love and care for.

————————————————————–
2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

I’ve said it once, I’ve said it before, I’m going to say it again.  Pet Food.

If you love your pet, don’t feed them crap from the grocery store.   There are NO.  I repeat NO good foods sold in WalMart or the local grocery store.  And just because a food is sold at the Vet’s office does not make it the best choice (ie Hill’s Science Diet - read the label, you’ll be amazed at the crap thats in it!)

Companies like IAMS support animal testing (Their parent company is Proctor and Gamble - read more about their animal testing here)

Most pet foods are filled with horrible and un nessasary fillers.  Brewers rice (the rice left over in the beer brewing process) as example.  Would you eat ‘re used’ rice?

The first 5 ingredients should be MEAT.  Dogs and Cats are carnivors, and only eat vegetables because we have dictated that they need it. 

Here is a list of companies who do not support animal testing

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

My ear is plugged right now, and it will be a bitch to try to find a doctor to get it looked at.

————————————————————–
4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

Colin - for realising he is overworked and overtired.  He needs some time off, rest, and to get over his caffiene addicition.

————————————————————–
5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

I have good taste in interior design, I just don’t have the money to see my ‘vision’ through

————————————————————–
6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

I wish I could talk and have conversations with my cats

 A list of valuable helpful tips to help your team get sponsorship and support from businesses. Centered around paintball sporting.read more | digg story

I am ‘reposting’ this entry.  I wanted it nice and ‘fresh’ as its ‘that time of the year’ when all the little paintball teams call up all the various companies with their hands out screaming ‘gimme gimme gimme’

I think its important to support the young and upcoming althletes in any sport, but for all you said young and upcoming althletes you need to know how to approach requesting sponsorship.

Please note that these steps are here to HELP you, but they do not ensure guaranteed sponsorship.

They are centered around Paintball Sports, but can be applied to any sport.
