Are you a Shoe-Aholic?

I know I'm supposed to be making some calls, draining the hot tub and folding the laundry but I just checked my inbox and found this timely piece of email.

Are you a Shoe-Aholic? It's a sales newsletter from a shoe company searching for Canada's Top Shoe-aholics.

Not only am I a shoe-aholic but I'm raising a shoe-aholic too! My 13 year old daughter was telling me something this morning and she is soooo a shoe-aholic it's not even questionable.

The story goes like this...

Last night I went out for my monthly GNO (girls night out). When I left I asked my family to take out the garden refuse bags. They did and I thanked my husband for getting that done since the collectors come very early on Tuesday mornings. Well he told me that our darling daughter only took 1 (out of 11 bags) out and that she was quite delayed coming out to help.

So this morning on the way to school, being the evil mother that I am, I sweetly thanked BOTH kids for taking out the bags and I pointedly said "ESPECIALLY Sarah". Well that got my son going saying that she only took out 1 bag and took forever to come out.

To which Sarah replied "I had to find the right outfit and shoes to wear before I could help." she giggled and continued "I wore my Penny Loves Kenny metallic gold flats which were just pefect."

And ladies, THAT is a what a shoe-aholic would say...

Here's the quiz. I bet we could start a group!
