I wish

When we decided to put our place on the market, we thought it would be a good idea to get a storage unit. We threw all our excess crap in there in the hopes it looked more spacious in here. I guess it is pretty spacious, but we have a lot of shit I guess.

Scary thing is, that stuff has been in storage for a year now, and we don't miss it. We've had to go get the baby stuff- toys and activity center thingy-do-dads that he's grown into and out of. We've gotten, and put back, the Halloween junk & will have to get the Christmas tree out too. Other than that, all the rest of the boxes in the storage space (filled to capacity, mind you) contain stuff so unimportant I haven't needed it in a year.

I did also go back and get my pre-pregnancy/ winter clothes. But I can't find my boots. At least three pairs that I can think of. They are the great ones too, because they are really warm, yet not ugly so I can wear them with a skirt too. Gone!
Storage unit shoe-napping! ( I wouldn't be surprised; I'm pretty sure there is a dude that lives in the unit around the corner from us. I bet he was eyeing those boots all along. I just wonder how he pulled it off...)

What was my point now? Oh yeah, shoe shopping. I was looking for new boots on Endless.com (30% off right now, by the way, on purchases over $75). Begrudgingly I was looking in the snow/ cold weather boot section. I say this because there's several other non-practical boots I'd rather buy. But alas, the NYLA "Butter Boot" (pictured above) is listed in this category. Perhaps it's just me, but I'm not sure if I believe that these boots would keep my feet warm. They don't exactly scream, "Traction!" to me.
I'd love to live in a place where this is a practical winter boot.

Was that the point of this post? I can't for the life of me remember. Oh right. Boots again. Should I just get these instead? They are flat (practical), black (I would wear them all the time). I wasn't planning on shoveling anyhow.
