Those who know me well know that if there is one thing in this world that I have a completely bipolar relationship with, it's feet. I hate feet. I think they're disgusting. I don't like to look at them. I don't like to touch them. Frankly, I'd rather pick up a snake than give someone a foot massage. (I don't know. Don't ask.) I don't like mine to be touched. I do like tan lines on my feet. That's about it. To counter this dislike, I've developed a few fetishes to help with the balance (theoretically). I love socks. I love how warm they are and I'm pretty sure that I have more socks than the rest of my wardrobe combined. Shoes. I also have a HUGE fascination with shoes. I love them. Shoes are one of the first things I notice about a person. I don't know what that means. I don't know what it says about my self-esteem, considering that the first thing I notice about a person is their feet. The really amusing part of my fascination with shoes is my personal shoe collection. or maybe lack thereof? I have one of the blandest shoe collections that I have ever encountered. I do have patent leather red ballet flats. That's probably the most exciting part of my collection, but really, I'm okay with that. I have other things that I'd like to spend my money on.
The real purpose behind this post is announce that I'm slowly getting over my issues with feet. Living with Grandma has given me opportunities to help with her shoes and socks and feet. Not my favorite part of living with Grandma. It's okay. I'm learning to get over it. Someday I'd like to get to this point. (Check out 36-38.)
It'll happen.
Someday.

funny, just today when I was putting on my socks for work I thought, "is there anyone who even likes socks? I hate socks. I hate wearing them."
This is why we get along! You and I notice people's feet first! I blame mine on the fact that I sold shoes for seven years. I do believe that people's shoe can definitely say a lot about a person. All from the style, quality, brand, comfort vs not comfortable, whether it's practical or not, how it goes with the outfit, the wear and tear of the shoe etc...says sooo much about a person (typically). It's amazing. Anyway, enjoyed your post. MISS YOU!! Good luck with the feet issues.
