High heels, or even low heels, are a rare thing for me because I am 6 ft tall. I never adjusted to wearing them daily like many of my pretty little short friends. Because of this, I have about a 2 hour limit in the most comfortable of heels. If I am sitting at my desk all day, I'm good. I can look sexy walking to the bathroom and back without paying the price of bleeding feet at 5pm.
Of course, that isn't how my world works. I take a chance on fashion and pay the price. Every time. It is no wonder that I wear boots, flip-flops, or converse 362 days of the year!
Today I arrived to work in a very cute outfit: black heels, bootcut jeans, and a black and white striped dress/shirt combo. I planned to just leave my office for one event. We walked over to a lecture 3 blocks away on a university campus. No problem! I am a beast! I stood for 30 minutes talking to people at said lecture. 6ft 3inches of sexy in still comfortable shoes! We go to lunch and park 3 blocks away from the restaurant. Okay. A little far. I'm still good. I enjoy seeing my profile in shop windows...I look like other women look every day.
Back at the office, the phone rings. The janitor's wife has an urgent message. Where is he? I walk from one end of the church to another. And again. And then back to another building. And then back to the front office to write a note for his car. Oh, wait, that isn't his car in the parking lot. Walk BACK to the office to leave the note.
Yup. I've walked a mile in my shoes. No more sexy, confident 32 year-old. It is only 3:30 and I am now barefoot and blistered. Tomorrow I'm returning to flip-flops.
p.s. There is a big difference between www.bigdaddy.com and www.godaddy.com. The former is definately not the place to go for church website work.
