My shuttle to the PATH never showed up this morning.

Not only that, but the streets were barely shoveled.

Not only that, but my boots had finally died, a few weeks ago, after 7 years of service.

All of that equalled cold, wet feet this morning.

This is why I love Payless. I'm sorry, I do. I would like to be able to afford nice, fancy shoes, but as long as I can't, I love love love cheap-ass shoes. I went to Payless today and found boots that weren't completely horrible, in my size, but just a wee bit more than I wanted to spend at the moment. (Even at Payless. Hey, cheap shoes should be che-e-e-e-eap or else I'll go to a real shoestore.)

Then I found the exact same boots, one size larger, in white. For ten dollars.

That's right: Payless says that if you're willing to wear shoes that are slightly too big and in a tackier colour, then you can have them for a quarter of the price.

These are my new cheezy warm comfy boots. Thank you, Payless! (Yes, those are pom-poms. They're a mockery of those stupid moccasin-boots that everyone was wearing two years ago.)
