Slacker!

So, I did nothing and went to the Middle East at 8:30. Should have waited a bit, before going, but it was OK. Saw what turned out to be (hang in with me here for a sec) Ruthie's husband's brother's band. (Ruthie's wedding was where I was the Maid of Trainwreck *evil grin* and Randy was Bill's best man. It was freaky.) I never got around to talk ing to him, but I need to email Ruthie.

12:06 was pretty damn spiffy, way different from the last time I'd seen scorched_angel play. Much better. Cook chick lead singer. Although the ICKY crowd really didn't help, some BHWMF who kept leering at me, until the thinner, cuter girls walked in (thank the GODS). Anyway, I left about 11, just got tired.

The unit, who yelled at me earlier for not calling about the baby shower blew a tire out on the way home, so she was totally distracted. Excellent, although bad for the tire.

I have some emails to write, then I'm showering, then I'm going to bed. Work is just going to have to wait.

Using LJ as a paging device

Attention either wanderingsusie or dionysia - Do we remember what kind of boots Kirstin said she had for sale Saturday night? the burgundy ones? We talk ed about it as I was trying on the New Rocks.

Alternatively - My Friend's list, or anyone - contact info for Kirstin? I know she has an LJ but I can't find it. lachesis a little help here? Passing on my Yahoo mail is OK, please don't pass on the Cell number without asking me first.

Soon to come - a "what kind of boot shall Tia buy?" poll. I found something neat, and on sale, and I can actally afford some neat ones.

OK, I'm still at work. *snicker* But I don't know how much longer i feel like putting up with this. More later.

Whee, more inability to make up one's mind.

So I want a new pair of boots. It's more like I need them at this point. I don't really have a pair of all around stomper boots, for when I don't want to wear heels, or want to troop around somewhere for hours on end.

I have decided, mostly, that I think I want a pair of New Rocks, since everyone I talk to with them loves them. Yup, expensive, but worth it. this is going to be my big "present" to myself, I may have to save up some more for my DVD collection, but I have plans for that. Anyway, I can afford this, and I think it's necessary need, and a long-term investment.

So (and forgive the links, I'd rather put pictures in but linking isn't good right now) I looked over the New Rock website, and I REALLY like these
Pros:
- I really like them
- The style is what I had in mind
- They still have a bit of a heel
Cons:
- The price.
- Shipping from Spain since I'd have to order them

Then, today, the best source in one of my LJ communities posted about StomperBoots.com, they're having a BIG sale on New Rocks, and I've discovered another style, the Stomper(scroll down, I'm sorry I can't figure out how to link right to them. They're almost to the bottom, with the cute goth guy *grins*) (heh, they get these special.) They resemblethese on the New Rock Site. but, they lack two buckles, which I LIKE< i'm not too keen on too many buckles on me. Since trying on Kirsten's new Rocks, with their velcro closures, I'm very much liking this idea. The Stompers are like what I THINK I want, although not quite in the style I was going with. But, the style I liked, I'm not so sure of anymore.
Pros:
- I like the whole "stompy" style
- very much like Kirsten's in the ways I liked
- On the site, they're 33% off, making them WELL under $150, even with shipping.
Cons:
- They may be out of my size (projected at 39 Euro) the 40 may be too big
- They're not the one I fell for, (But hesitate to buy because of the price)
- Don't know how long this sale lasts, may only be days.

So, Here's the poll.

[Poll #111335]

I'd like comments, if you love or hate the boots. I'm leaving this open to everyone, feel free, even if I don't know you.

Please keep in mind that I DO need a pair of boots, for everyday hard wear, for when I go out and about (like walking around London for days? Hello!) so I don't mind spending the money on the right boots.
