The other day my husband, oldest son and I went to the commissary. For my non-military readers “the commissary” is a grocery store on post for the use of the military personnel and their dependents. We made our first stop over in the fresh produce section like we normally do. While walking the aisles I remembered I needed celery. My husband and son were an aisle over watching and waiting for me. As I reached to pick up my stalk of celery a woman stops me and says, “you know I just have to ask you, don’t you”….and I look at her puzzled wondering who she is and what it is that she just “has” to ask me. She then asks, “how tall are you?” Ahh I should have known, but my mind was on my celery…lol
So I’ve been on a quest to find some “hot” shoes and I’ve found myself frustrated. I get disappointed because I’ll find a pair of shoes that I absolutely adore and are at my price point, but when I click on the size it stops at ten or 11 and I’m like pushing the slider trying to force it, thinking magically the number “12″ will appear. It doesn’t and then I am crushed and off to search again. So I start searching again and lo and behold I come across a pair of shoes that make me drool and wait….. yes they do go up to a size twelve! So I start to do my little happy dance in my seat, until I start to read the details and more info on the shoes. Lo and behold I see that the heel height is a whopping 4″ or 5″. Now as I said before I love my height. I love being tall. I even love being really tall, but I need to be able to walk under a door sill without having to duck…lol Now come on shoe people I know the same shoe can be just as stylish with a 2″ or even 2 1/2″ heel, which by the way is the maximum height I personally am comfortable with wearing….lol So back on the shoe hunt I go. I’m not giving up and I know that the perfect shoes that fit all of my criteria are out there, somewhere, but I would be lying if I didn’t admit this is a time I wish I was a little bit shorter, for shoes. About 4″ shorter, gotta stay a six footer and the perfect 4″ shoes I found would make me the perfect height of 6’4″….hehe
but has a 5" heel 
Such a beautiful color blue!
