Complaints Department

I think this blog may just become a litany of my semi-regular complaints about mundane things. Of course, isn't that what blogging is supposed to be?

This morning I am annoyed because my new sneakers are too small.
I have two different-sized feet and my shoe size runs between 10 1/2 and 11. Last weekend I was visiting a friend in North Carolina and I bought myself a new pair of Vans. Size 10 1/2.
A week later, I wish I'd bought a size 11.

The problem is the last few times I've gotten shoes in that size, they've been a tad too big.

I can never tell.

But today I feel like a "lily-footed woman" in ancient China with her feet bound into a grotesque fist.
