Tormenting Your Nieces is Fun

When I started this blog at the beginning of the year, I had no idea it would become so shoe-centric nor did I realize what fun I could have using it as an instrument of torture. Refer to my "Tormenting Your Friends is Fun" blog entry from 4/9/2010. That was my first attempt at using my blog to taunt someone and it succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. Although you don't see any comments associated with that entry, it achieved the desired effect. There were a flurry of emails from my friends Sharla and Suzanne regarding that post.

Now I'm going to turn my attention to my niece Chantal. She has become a devotee of my blog and is unhappy with me for flaunting all of my cute new shoe purchases since Chantal has, as she describes it, Hobbit feet which make it impossible to find cute shoes. At our family lunch today I asked for evidence of her Hobbit-like feet. When she showed me her feet, I had to agree. Although they are perfectly lovely feet, they are quite wide. (Sorry Chantal!) Oh look Chantal, here is a picture of another pair of new shoes which I wore for the first time yesterday. I especially like these shoes with their surprisingly comfortable 4-inch heels. I'm 5'10" in those heels and I enjoy the feeling of being so tall.
