EXCITING NEWS! (this is how you know I don't have a job)

Yes: it's like a party dress for a 13 year old.

Today I met with the ex-secretary treasurer of the strata to review the financials and learn the ropes.  What is fascinating about this is that I have taken a sabbatical from my well-paying 32 hour work week with a banging pension and incredible health benefits to essentially review monthly financials for my strata for free.
Before that happened, however, there was some really good news.  See, I was freaking out incredibly about what shoes to wear with my $17 wedding dress.  You may be surprised to know that I can be very picky and incredibly obsessive over aesthetics.  For example once, at work (when I was still gainfully employed), a coworker caught me rummaging through the glasses in the cupboard to find a very specific one.  She asked me why I had selected that particular glass.  I turned to her and said, in all honesty, "I find it aesthetically pleasing".

And I wasn't kidding price wise.

Another time, a coworker of mine had a 4k Cartier Tank Francaise that I coveted like mad.  I found a very close Coach replica on eBay which I bought, but it's NOT THE SAME and I DON'T WEAR IT even though it's a perfectly fine and very classy watch.
So anyways... and why are you still reading this?.. I was looking through some random wedding blogs and I came across a picture of this girl that had the perfect shoes.  They were blue satin, retro 1950, open toed high heels.  They were perfect.  With my white dress against the Pepto Bismol pink of VD Donuts, those blue pumps would have completed the picture.
Alas, as much as I am an aesthete, I am also very lazy.  I tried to go into a bridal store once and couldn't.  I hate shopping.  I hate people.  I hate that everything that has "wedding" attached to it is like three times the price it would be otherwise. 

I love, love these.

I lamented on FB.  Man, people like to get involved in wedding planning on Facebook.  This worked out really well for me because a friend of mine (whose knitted socks I am wearing right now) suggested Sseko sandals.  I'd never heard of them, but I looked them up and bam!  "Sseko Designs is an ethical fashion brand that hires high potential women in Uganda to make sandals to enable them to earn money through dignified employment that will go directly towards their college educations and ensure they will continue pursuing their dreams".
Retro blue pumps would have been fun, but I would have paid a lot of money for them and worn them only once.  This way I get cool shoes, I won't tower over Michael on The Big Day, and I get to help out some women in Uganda.  Win, win, win.

I would wreck that.

Oh, but the upward swing doesn't stop there, my friend!  I watched "The Mindy Project" today for like, the fifth time in my life.  I gotta say I like it a lot, but I just never watch cable anymore and I don't have a PVR and I don't want a PVR.  I don't even want cable.  I didn't even have cable before Michael moved in.  I used to read and write and play Sudoku.  Now I'm a half blind, pale and pasty moron that knows way too much about life in the 1400 and 1500s, the 1950s, insane lawyers, as well as fantasy football leagues and creepy rape culture in New Zealand.
Jesus.  I had so much potential.
Anyways, I do like the "Mindy Project" because it's well written and funny, but also because it has Chris Messina in it.  Have you seen this guy?  Did you watch the last season of "Damages"?  Cause I did.  Holy Christ.  So they finally make out a little, satisfying every woman's fantasy that they can break the crusty exterior of the surly hot guy who also doesn't mind that she's packing an extra couple of pounds because he appreciates her kindness and wit.
Oh yeah, and the Canucks won even though Torts has been thrown in jail or whatever, and we were down a Sedin.
