I have been waiting to reward myself for ongoing weight loss. I told myself that after 5lbs…10lbs…15 lbs that I would buy something nice. Maybe clothes, maybe some new pillows for the couch or something. I finally found my reward: a pair of funky shoes. High heeled, sort of retro, Bettie Page, naughty librarian, but still appropriate for work shoes. Shoes that are MADE for a desk job. Shoes that aren’t TERRIBLY uncomfortable, but shoes I wouldn’t want to wear if I had a lot of walking to do.
Yesterday I had plans to get my desk cleaned off, and the only walking I was thinking about was the walk to the coffee pot in the kitchen.
Did I ever mention that I tend to deal with stress at work by pacing? I can’t sit still when I’m stressed. I get a caged animal feeling and have to walk – either around my office or if I’m REALLY stressed, around the hallways of the building.
Yesterday was a day of unsurpassed suckage. Unsurpassed. It was a pacing kind of day. The Naughty Librarian has turned into the Hobbling Librarian.
Sexxxxaaaaaaaaay.

My husband’s a pacer too. He says it soothes him… it makes me incredibly anxious to see him pacing!
Congrats on losing the poundage!!

Comment by kenju May 8, 2006 @ 2:54 pmLOL! KathyHowe, do not buy those shoes. You will be injured librarian in no time. ROFL. And Elle? I hope your Hobbling feet improve quickly. I’m hobbling myself these days and I don’t have any naughty shoes at all anymore. The hobbling I have is all from my walking/running shoes. I’m just getting damn old. This is so depressing.
