New Toys

Yesterday was magical. Beautiful. 50% of what I could have imagined!

Just envision a cold windy city and a lone mother rushing to fulfill her own needs for new running shoes. She cooks dinner quickly, sprints out the door to get to the shoe store before they close. When she walks in she is sad to see so many people shopping so close to closing because she is a retard when it comes to running. Then she sees the 8 foot piles of shoes that those people are surrounding. Then her eye catches a sign and it says "50% Off (unless marked otherwise)".

When it occurs to her that she doesn't see any "otherwise" markings and that there are many many signs dotting the store walls and shelves and piles and piles of shoes she starts to shake with excitement and appropriately begins to tear through boxes of size 9.5 shoes. Not even caring if they are something she might think about buying at full price.

This lone mother scored. I was restrained however and stopped at only 2 pairs of running shoes, however I'm aching to go back and find some sandals. Sigh...if only it were summer.
