Shoelaces


About the most exciting thing I did yesterday was buy shoelaces. I know that doesn't sound like much, but the shoelaces in my shoes were unraveling and they've been driving me crazy for a while. I located a shoe repair shop near school and walked over at lunch, and now that's done. Taking care of even a minor little problem like that makes such a difference.

My next mission is to go buy some socks. My socks literally have holes in them. When I was going through security at the airport on the way back from Michigan I became aware how terrible they looked. So I've been throwing them out as I wear them (the holey ones, anyway) and I need some replacements.

Don't I lead an exciting life?

Last night, Dave and I watched an old episode of "The Streets of San Francisco" featuring Celeste Holm. It made me remember the time she sat in front of me at a theater in New York. I didn't realize (or had forgotten) that she died a couple of years ago. One of my few random brushes with celebrity!

New socks and shoelaces can be downright exciting. In my world, at least.

You beat me, the most exciting thing I did was put gas in the car.

I used to buy Reeboks and then didn't. It was many years and then I bought some more and remembered why I quit buying them. They have the worst shoelaces that will not stay tied! When I wear them I am constantly retying the laces. I know. simple remedy, buy new laces which I plan to do. some day.

LOL at utahDOG :) Mike has a habit of wearing his socks until they disintegrate - I should just start tossing them when I do the laundry.
