Ooooooooo Shiny!

If I were to have an addiction, I would make it shoes. I bought a new pair of shoes today that Likalia made me swear I would wear regularly just because they are too good not to wear more than just to this dinner have to go to tonight. The picture in the link really doesn't do the patent leather justice. They are great shoes and, most importantly of all, they are really comfy! That isn't suppose to happen with 3.5 inch heels! I honestly didn't realize they were that high until I looked at the website since they are insanely comfortable. Mind you, we'll see if I still think that after wearing them for 5 hours tonight. Meh.... they're cute.

I also found a nice bag, evening like, that I figured I should have since I really don't have any 'good' purses to choose from for evening like events. I can't find a picture of that since it's one of those no name thingies but it is a muted sort of shiny. The front of the box like bag is sewn sequins (but wait... you know me.. not horrid sequins) in browns, blues, and a matte gold.

Sometimes my girly tendencies scare me...

In response to Likalia's March 11 Post

Read first - March 11 by Likalia

I think that this is just a normal part of being in our *gasp* late 20's. We're in the middle of no where with no real future except a job or a place to live or if we're lucky a bit of both.

As stated several times before, age is a state of mind. Does that go for maturity as well or do we equate age with maturity and do we do that without sufficient evidence to prove that with age comes maturity. I don't think age and maturity go hand in hand; in fact, I think that age is just a physical state that we are forced to live for as long as we get to live.

I told Nibski the other night that his dream of living in what is basically a care-a-minium is making him an old man before he becomes one, but then, in many ways, he is an old man - but then, in many ways he is not. What is age?

At a performance tonight, I looking into the audience at one point and saw relatives, former teachers, and high school classmates all of whom were there to see their children perform. That was weird. They all had children that were relatively the same age - how weird was that!? In a few years, I could possibility be teaching these students. Good grief!

I though about the classmates. They have a house, 2 kids, jobs and seem fairly 'old' in the things they've accomplished. By 'old' I mean 'mature' or do I? The classmates were acting very immature and really nothing had changed in the years it had been since I'd last seen them.

Age vs. Maturity... I think that is the real debate.
