MY NEWBIE IS SHOWING

U30BC: Power Walk

The shoes make the difference. I put on the cool shoes today. They are little booties that look a bit like a round-tip cowboy boot, concave heel and all, but stop below the ankle. They fit nice and tight and I walk with a distinct strut when I have these on.


I looked in the mirror, everything is where it should be, so I grab my gear, and do my power walk to my car. Everything is in the trunk because I have heard too many horror stories about grab and go thieves. Once everything is tucked in the trunk, I caught something out of the corner of my eye and just want to bang my head against the trunk lid. Shoulder pads. On the outside.


So off I march back to the house so I can turn my shirt right side out. Have to keep up appearances, and running or sulking would call too much attention to my plight. I almost flipped it right there at the trunk, but the neighbors had the roofers out and I did not want to blind them.


It’s going to be a long day.
