Bit of Ivory

I finally got around to importing all the entries from my old blog, Virtual Parchment. There are a few kinks– Blogger didn’t support titles, but Moveable Type requires them, so the first few words of the entry is used as the title; for some reason the formatting is off, even though I did everything it told me to; and there aren’t any comments on the entries yet. I do still plan on pulling those from YACCS. Anyway, I’m glad to have all my entries in one place now. I can link back to old entries all I want.

Like this one, an old Friday Five where I expressed my wish for a certain pair of sandals.

Yesterday, I suceeded. Almost.

On my trip to Office Max to buy my Nimbus stuff, I happened to glance at the Payless Shoes–which was having a clearance sale. Now, I haven’t gone to Payless a whole lot in the past few years, because they haven’t had any styles I like. Every once in a while I’ll drop in, but it’s rare that I find anything I *have* to have. It’s more likely that I’ll find what I want at Wal-mart or on sale at a department store. But I figured I might as well look. Couldn’t hurt.

And I found them. For $3! Now, these aren’t the *exact* shoes I’ve been searching high and low for, but they’re so close that it makes little difference. The style I always bought had a buckle above the inner arch, instead of having the straps running into the sole like you see in the picture. The straps are also thinner than my old ones, but I don’t really care anymore. I have them back! *does the happy Snoopy dance*

Thank you all for sharing my joy.
