Tina Turner Shoes, Praise, and an Incredibly Happy Story

Sep 11, 2007 09:50

I am wearing 3-inch stiletto heels to work because I want to break them in for the wedding on Saturday. Everyone poked their heads out of their cubicles when I came in because Kate was like, "LOOK AT THOSE SHOES!!!" I still haven't made the walk to the kitchen to make my toast and water. Wow, I never realized that I eat like a prisoner at work ( Read more... )

It is really nice to read a story like that, especially today.

I think the word "miracle" is too often ascribed to works of a deity. But humans can make amazing things happen all the time, and with our limitations and lack of omnipotence, I don't think it's inaccurate to call our achievements miracles.

Thanks for your feedback on the word choice. The second definition is "a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences," which certainly fits. You're right that it doesn't necessarily have to do with god(s) or religion.

I definitely want to see wedding pictures of you wearing those fierce shoes.

LOL @ "fierce." OK, Tyra Banks. ;) The wedding is at 10am, so people will probably think I'm making the walk of shame in these things. They are definitely after-dark shoes.

God bless Bobby. That is an awesome story.

Toast and water, though. Are you on the jail diet??

wonkywheels September 12 2007, 14:16:01 UTC

Haha, yeah, I guess so. This morning I had cereal, though. I'm already hungry for lunch!

Is "Bobby" Robert Massie?

If so, I know him well and it's a small world.

wonkywheels September 17 2007, 14:07:09 UTC

Nope. It's a totally fictional name.

wow. that is fantastic that your mother has reconnected with bobby and that he's still alive and healthy and happy! yay!

also, i had to really strain to imagine you in stilettos! i've usually seen you in business casual! work it, girl.

wonkywheels September 17 2007, 14:06:48 UTC

Yeah, they met last week. It's such a sweet story!

People are still talking about the heels. They were surprisingly comfortable at the wedding. yay!

this_monograph September 25 2007, 14:08:12 UTC

were they comfortable because you had sort of broken them in? i can only wear heels for a few hours before i'm hobbling around!

wonkywheels September 25 2007, 15:23:20 UTC

Well, I think they were partly comfortable because there was no dancing at the wedding.
