Black Friday: Holiday shopping

I jokingly say that holiday shopping is, for me, a one for you, two for me experience. I have a little part-time job (in addition to my full-time job), and a little extra $$ to spare. I did not wait for Black Friday to buy these chocolate Tredstep Giotto paddock boots. I tried every possible Ariat boot at Rolex year before last, and I tried many of them again this weekend.

As I was leaving in despair, I chanced by the front display with these Tredsteps -- cheaper than Ariats and frankly more pleasing to look at and more comfortable. I love them so much they won't see the barn until I've worn them to work a few months.
