It has been a while since I've posted anything, and a lot has been going on. So here's the scoop:
Week of August 15th: Spent the week traveling back down south for work. Alone this time so I brought some of the girl-clothes, but no girl-shoes. Planned to go shoe shopping to keep busy. It was a good trip. Work went well. One night I was dressed in khakis and t-shirt & blouse, lingerie underneath, and went to one of the city's malls. Tried on clothes at American Eagle and Express. Got lots of attention from the salesgirls at AE, at least enough for me to know that they all knew that I was trying on women's clothes. When I went to the dressing room the second time, the girl looked at the size (10) and said that they sell a lot of jeans in that size. New jeans styles at Express, so I had to check them out. They are nice looking, but I'm not too keen on the quality. Almost tried on a pair of shoes at Aldo, but the style was not in my size.
The next evening I went shoe shopping at some other stores, and found a great pair at the Shoe Rack - black pumps with pink stitching (I'll post the picture later). The girl at the store asked if I wanted another pair for half-off, and I told her that I couldn't find a style that I liked in 11's. I put them on in the car once I left the store, stopped at a walk-up ATM for cash, and took a walk around the strip mall nearby. On my way back to the hotel, I forgot that one should avoid walking on grass in heels. Argh! Cleaned them up in the hotel room, and really enjoyed having new shoes to wear the rest of the week.
Week of August 22nd: My schedule took me to Toronto, Canada for a few days. Didn't bring any girl-clothes as I didn't want to raise any flags coming through Customs. I had not been to Canada since I was 10, so it was pretty much all new to me. Very nice - nice people, nice scenery, and I had a chance to sample the local beer. I hope I can get back there to try more!

Size 11?
Wow...I have the exact opposite problem.
I can't wait for the pictures...
Well I'm glad you lik Canada. I like it too!
I wish I was a size 10. :)
always hard to walk in heels on grass - it's like you're aerating the lawn for people.
Try Naturalizer for shoes - not the most fashionable, but they have larger sizes.
Kisses!
Doll, I wear a 5 1/2 D - impossible to find. They do make wide shoes out there - and especially in men’s - but not for little footed people. Even the shoes for fat footed women don't give ya a wide until 6's (but usually 7's) and I wear a DOUBLE wide. I buy shoes from dyable things (like for weddings and such) and get some rit. Try it, you'll love it!
I was in Toronto at the begining of last month, nice clean city. :)
Annette, are you Annette's Alter Ego? Thanks for stopping by!
Mommi - your feet don't look that small and wide on your site. Cuties!
Yes, it's my Alter Ego ;)
