Getting there


So today I managed to post a couple of pairs of shoes on Ebay.   It's a start on the shoe purge.   It pains me to get rid of them.  I do like them, but they no longer fit me.  Stupid feet growing while pregnant.

I'm getting the feeling that ebay is the way to go on selling stuff.  My efforts at selling items on Craigslist don't seem to work well.  I've only managed to sell 1 item successfully ever on Craigslist.  I've bought items and that's gone well, but I just seem to end up with all the flaky people who don't show up.

Ebay can be annoying to, so we shall see.

I did try on a couple of more pairs of shoes today and sadly they didn't fit.  Tomorrow I'll have to do something with them.  I think most of my "gothy" shoes and boots will get sold on ebay or craigslist as I feel like I should get something back from them and they would be likely to at least get at some money too.

I'm slowly getting there with the decluttering.

Oh those shoes I wanted :(

I was in New York City last weekend for a trip and thought to myself that it would be a great time to pick up a pair of those Vibram Five Finger Shoes.  So I looked up a couple of stores to check out and away we went during our touristy time as the store City Sports was in the area we were going.

Sadly they did not have the colour, model and size i wanted.  But they were very nice, let me try on the size and called their other stores in the city to see if they had any there.  Again sadly no.  But now I can order them online.  The only problem is that no one seems to have them right now.  They are super popular.  Especially black ones I guess.  Even the manufacturers site doesn't have them right now.

So I guess I will have to be patient and wait.  Ebay has lots, but in the wrong colour and in fake.

So of course I will check every day :)

Neat Shoes I Might Like

I'm going to look for a good deal on some interesting shoes that have been brought to my attention.  They are the Vibram Five Finger Shoes.  They are meant to have you walking as if you are barefoot.  A friend who runs recently got a pair and one of my coworkers also got a pair and loves them to bits.  I remember doing lots of barefoot walking as a child and think it would be neat to try them.

They seem pretty nifty and I think I want a pair.  Now to find a pair.  I'll probably have to buy them online, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.
