Shoe Shopping
Angel wanted to get her eyes checked and get a new pair of shoes. We headed on over to the super wal-mart. We walked in together and I started to walk over to the eye exam area, but she stopped and started looking around. She then called my name and I said that I was rite there. From there on out, she wouldn’t let go of me. We made it to the eye doctor area and found out that the eye doctor wouldn’t be in until noon tomorrow. We headed back to the shoes but couldn’t find anything interesting.
Angel asked if I knew where another shoe store was and I suggested the mall. We drove over and she was kind of nervous about all the people that would be there. We parked the car a considerable distance away from the mall due to limited parking and walked in the cold wind. A really large breeze came at us when we got up near the mall entrance. I figured that there must be a vacuum sucking the air down the side of the walls at us.
We went in and found a map and looked for some shoe stores. They actually had an entire section labeled with shoes and a long list of stores. Angel just wanted to go and start walking since it appeared that there were so many stores. We walked beside each other, and sometimes she would lead in her adventures. She would just look in some stores and immediately reject them. Others, she would walk in and it appears that she would just get a bad vibe from the environment. I guess Feng Shui plays a big part of this.
She found a pair of cool boots in one store that would come up to her knees, but her legs were a little too large. It’s too bad, because they did look good, but I want her to be happy and comfortable in what ever she picks out.
We headed over to JC penny’s. The store was humongous and I was afraid we would spend a lot of time just hunting for where shoes might be. I immediately asked someone at the front where shoes were, and he gave us a few instructions. We walked through the narrow isles and looked around. I realized they had numbers on them and wanted to just slap myself silly for not realizing it. Come on - it’s a shoe store! Of course they would have numbers.
I went to the aisle with her size and started picking through black shoes that might be her style. I found a pair that were her and she seemed to take to them really well. We couldn’t find a seat and to avoid the crowd, we left the shoe department and sat on the floor across the way.
She got the shoes on and was afraid they may not fit rite. They were all laced up too tight and she had to loosen them to get them on. She walked around and liked them. I noticed that they had little feet on the bottom showing you how to dance as part of the gripping pattern. She wanted to keep the shoes on but decided against it and put on her other shoes. We went up, paid for the shoes, and then left.
