Birthday Wish

Dear Fairy Godmother-

I need your help. Prince Charming and Nordstrom's are conspiring to have me killed.  Seriously.  Just look at this shoe:


As you know, my birthday is next week.  Prince Charming thought it would be nice to treat me to a shopping trip to Nordstrom's to buy a pair of shoes.  I thought it would be nice too, until I had to wedge my fat foot into this shoe. (To be fair, I have wide, flat feet.  Think: Fred Flintstone.)  

It took about 1.3 seconds to  realize that  the shoes were uncomfortable.   Unfortunately, it took even less time to forget just how much they hurt my feet.  I got caught up in the moment and the excitement of having fashionable, trendy, sexy shoes.  Prince Charming promised to valet park whenever I wore the shoes . . . and I caved.

Okay, okay.  It's my fault too.  Prince Charming and Nordstrom's aren't entirely to blame.  But its my birthday and I want to be fashionable and trendy and sexy.  Just for one night.  So, if you'll get me through a nice dinner without breaking an ankle, sprouting a bunion, tearing an ACL or suffering any other shoe-related bodily injury, I promise to leave BOTH shoes at the steps of the donation station on the way home. 

Sincerely,
SEE

P.S.  If you're planning one of those if-the-shoe-fits-Cinderella moments, please give me a few days before sending my One True Love around for the shoe fitting.  My feet will be blistered and swollen and I'll need a couple days before I can get my fat foot into that God-forsaken shoe again.
