Sometimes, my job takes me fun places. Like to the theater on a Saturday evening to see Oliver! When it does, I get to dress the part, wearing my little black dress with faux fur shrug, pearls, and my favorite teal heels. See how fancy I look:
Sometimes, though, I fall. Actually, fairly often. It can never be blamed on the shoes. I’ve worn the shoes above for years and have never had a problem. I don’t usually fall in my highest stilettos. I don’t even fall when my heels break. There is absolutely no explanation for why this happens. But when it does, I go from the classy lady you see pictured above, to this:
If that looks painful, it’s because it was. To my pride, as well as to my knees. And, I was mad because that was a really good pair of panty hose, and I hate buying new ones!
So, let this be a lesson to all of you. No matter how great you look and feel, always hold on to the railing. Don’t be the person that brings Proverbs 16:18 to life. I’ve done it enough for all of us.

Love the dress. Love the shrug. LOVE the pearls. Love the shoes. FANCY SCHMANCY, indeed! The torn hosiery? Not so much. But how was the THEE-AH-TUH, Darling?
