So I’m paid a whopping $175 for my time at the theater. It’s better than nothing, but it breaks down to below a dollar an hour. The thing is, I’ve mentally spent that money on tons of different things…for myself of course. Yes, I know, I should be good and put some of it in savings. I should, I really should…these are Dansko clogs, $110, and they are SO SASSY. Never mind that patant leather is impractical and who knows how it will wear. I’ve needed some new black shoes, and these are it! Right?
Quick Update: I just had a freak out about the patant leather…how would these break in? I mean, would the patant leather crease wierd? You know how leather creases over the metatarsal, would it do that for these shoes and make them look all wierd? If I buy them today, I’d get free shipping! HELP!

Do what I do. Get yourself a boiling pot of hot water.
Oh wait. Oh nevermind. That’s what I do for a cold. Forget it. I can’t help you on this one.

I like them, and I also really think they are more practical then you give them credit for.
For example:
1. They are not some funky color or pattern that will be difficult to match into your wardrobe.
2. They are black. Black goes with everything
3. They look comfortable, and easy to wear. If you were showing me some four inch heels or something, I could see that as impracticle. But any comfortable shoes are practicle. Always.
4. You never know when you will want to wear shiny shoes.
So, as you can see, I have given you several reasons why you should buy them. I would, of course, need to scour the internet to see if I could get a better price first, but otherwise I will lend my support to the shoes. Unless you need to buy a Christmas present for Josh. In which case he should buy them for you instead!

P.S. You are PAID. That is better than half the people performing in regional theatre in the nation, so you should feel good about that!

At this point, I definitely think that you would regret it if you didn’t get them.

And not to excessively post on your blog or anything, but why the change from “Mara Mumbles Madly?”
