Went shoe shopping with the wizard today because he's in a mood. Sadly we found the perfect shoes, just not in our size. What a pity. He's alternately bitchy and maudlin about the whole process. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

There is a street, hidden amongst all the traditional modern American ugliness of strip malls and shopping centers in the far northwest part of Austin. It's not very long, but there is a curve of road that is something from somewhere else. A double line of trees marches down the center, and there is grass and still more forest to the sides. The trees, which I think now might be pecan, are blooming in cottony white clouds. On a day like this, it is more beautiful than anything else.

I should like to just stay here.

Oh dear. I went shopping today as well. Fortunately though, I left the silly wizard at home. He tends to force the two of us into buying everything cashmere and/or silk. And, considering our financial situation, that's not so good.

I know just how you feel. Nothing worse than trying to explain to the wizard that I can't afford a silk dressing gown.

But I found the shoes he wanted on Ebay, so we're all much happier. ;)

I am, for reasons I can't really explain or justify, affected by the idea of you shopping with your wizard.

I can't entirely relate...though my wardrobe shopping of late is definitely influenced by my haunted house character "Minion" than it is by what I would normally wear...which is to say, a tiny avalanche of ruched ("coffin-stitched") shirts are making their way into my closet...and I can't really afford 'em, but..*shrug* Who am I to argue?

It is a weird experience, because he certainly has different tastes than me. I've never heard anyone complain so much about my clothes since my grandmother gave up trying to make me wear pink and be ladylike. ;)

But I just found his shoes on ebay, so we're all much happier.

hehehehehehehe!

So what do the shoes look like?

Black heeled boots with zippers on the side. I'll try to post the picture when I get off work.

The wizard had better love me forever for finding these shoes.
