So my husband thinks I'm crazy. This may not come as a shock to many of you. I bought two pairs of sandals off of ebay. Yes, I know I have a problem. No, I couldn't quit if I wanted to. Kevin thinks it's weird to buy shoes that someone else has worn. Now the last pair I bought was new, so that was fine. But both of these pairs basically said "wore them once, can't walk in heels".
Seriously, Pecker...go away!
Sorry about that...he's getting increasingly more frantic.
Anyway...so these chicks can't walk in heels, and I can, so I get a deal and I don't see what the problem is. The soles are not worn, not even a little, there are no toe indentations. There are indicators that shoes have been worn several times, none of these things are the case with these two pairs of shoes. They look GREAT! But Kevin's still harping "What if they had some sort of foot fungus?" or "What if they had a toe jam problem?" Seriously. Toe jam? It's not exactly something that just comes creeping out. You usually have to dig for that, don't you? Shut up, Kevin.
Am I wrong? Is it wrong to buy pre-owned, gently-worn shoes?
But then again, all this from a man who just bought a Harley. Yes, he really did. Yes, I knew about it ahead of time even though he bought it while I was out of town. No, we haven't picked it up yet. The only word that really exists in his vocabulary right now is 'chrome'. I bet if these were CHROME sandals, he would be all for it. But no, they're leather. Leather used to excite him. HA! Just kidding. Now it's all about the c-h-r-o-m-e. Pa-thetic. We pick the darn thing up on Saturday and I'm sure I won't see him the rest of the day.
Owen's team won their first game last night! Whooo-hooo! Coach Kevin said that Owen had a couple of triples and a single, and fielded well. The rest of the team looked great. I wasn't there because I was attending the Fine Arts Festival at Alex's school. This basically means "spring concert" - which basically means sitting on uncomfortable carpeted bleacher-like things for a couple of hours while every kid in the school prances out in their Sunday best to sing with their respective choirs. The highlight for me? when one of the third grade boys was perpetually yawning during their performance. Hilarious. Get that kid a nap for crap's sake.
We had no issues with ketchup-stained shirts or gum with this event. Alex played cymbal and then timpani - he actually did really well with that. Someone help me, I really do think I'm raising a drummer. Shit.

I have to say, I have seen the shoes, they are in excellent, new, condition. Though I have to say, I am going to side on Kev with this one. I am soooo worried about shoe "smells" and to that end, if you ever see shoes on ebay being sold by Sugar Snap Pea-DON'T BY THEM-THEY S-T-I-N-K
As a huge Goodwill fan, I understand your decision. I recently scored a green t-shirt which simply reads "Dublin Rocks" with a shamrock. Tell me - where else will you find a gem like that? I'd say that half of my wardrobe is what I like to call "hand me downs" and I am a germaphobe by nature. It simply doesn't bother me. Maybe because I'm the youngest of four girls and we all wore each other's clothes growing up...
Regardless, keep the shoes. I'm sure they are fabulous.

They ARE fabulous!!
See, I only had one younger sister, and she and I didn't share clothes because we had such different tastes. But I did have Julie, and we used to share clothes and shoes all the time! And now I still borrow stuff from my girlfriends to wear and my husband thinks THAT is weird, too. I tried to explain that women DO this, and it's FINE...but he still thinks I'm crazy.
Kevin chill out, its not like she's buying underwear on e -bay, you think toe fungus may be an issue....HA
Good point, Tiff!!!!
Leave it up to Tiffany to bring things down a notch...
Pea, do your feet stink that bad? What's up with that?
