Oh wait...on second thought, please take your foot out of my shoe!
What the heck? I love you TJ (as in Maxx) but after two strange shopping experiences in a row, I am officially taking a self-imposed (and probably short) break from you.
Why? Here's how it went down. I am in the shoe section and spy a great pair just my size...and you know, at TJ's that's not always the case. I kick off my right shoe. I don't kick it far. It is on the floor, still in my personal space. I put the "new" shoe on my right foot and turn to my left to take a few steps...make sure it feels good. I turn again to return to my starting position, and...
What do I see, but a total stranger attempting to shove her right (bigger than my) foot into my right shoe. The one I turned my back on. I am a bit thrown off. I admit it. "Excuse me, that's my shoe." She replies, "I know, I like it. Where did you get them?" I felt like saying...
Who do you think you are? And, why is it necessary to put on my shoe to ask that question? But I didn't. I was polite. I think I even smiled. "Texas." That is where I got them. And the only thing that made me feel a little better as she removed her foot from my shoe, was that it appeared to be a clean, freshly pedicured foot.
Where did I go after I got my shoe back? Home...straight home. I did not pass GO. I did not collect $200. I went home and sipped a diet Coke while I put my feet up on the ottoman and admired my own Texas shoes!
And yes, I know, that is my left shoe in the photo :)

hahaha. That is the FUNNIEST story. And funny lady!! Who on earth would actually do that?! Maybe she was just too embarrassed to admit that she tried on someone else's shoe. Funny funny.
Oh my gosh Im still laughing! i can't believe she actually knew it was yours and stuck her foot in! Thats gotta be startling :) Ha Ha Ha
oh my gosh con I cant breathe I am cracking up...no she did not!!!!! I might agree with Ken and say she was blowing it off as she knew...personal space-so funny! thank goodness for well pedicured feet;)
Maybe it's time to start seeing "Marshall" :)
You are so funny Con, did you dry heave
when you put it back on, I know that grossed
you out!!
You know me well, Lee. Let me just say this...if it hadn't been 110 degrees and a black-top parking lot...I probably wouldn't have put it back on until after I had a chance to "Lysol" it. Phew! And yes, "Marshall" is a very suitable fill-in :)
Hi Connie! I found your blog from my mom's. Aren't those ladies hysterical? Anyway, I can't believe somebody just put on your SHOE! Too weird! I love this blogging thing. I'm so obsessed. I do nothing but breastfeed the twins eight hours a day and blog while I'm doing it. I've got to get a life! P.S. I put you on my blog roll. I hope that's okay!
