A Low Point

I own a lot of shoes. A LOT. Almost all of them are from Target or Payless. Even my Uggs were only $40 because of a rip in the toe (which I elegantly safety pinned closed, and they've been great for nearly three years). I only own (or, rather, OWNED) two pairs of shoes that were over $50--my running shoes, and my Danskos.

One night, because apparently Karma was punishing us for doing something VERY VERY WRONG, Preston and I both fell asleep without putting the dogs up. I woke up at 3:30 in the morning to Preston screaming, "NOOOOOOOOO BAD DOG! BAD DOG!"

I leaped out of bed to see that Ness had EATEN-not shredded, not torn, but EATEN-one of my Dansko clogs. I was less than pleased. And man, did she know it.
