didn't you hear this before?

I'm waiting for shoes to come to me in the mail...

I don't know when they'll be here. Heck, at this point I don't even know if they are coming seeing as how the "lovely" people at the shoe store in Alabama (mail order) seem incapable of answering even one of 5 emails (to 2 different departments), neither phone number is reachable from my area and the only two indications of their acceptance of my order are the immediate email order confirmation that I received and a charge on my VISA...

As I was contemplating pressing the "submit" button on the order form I was questioning whether or not I should really do this. I have enough problems with shoes as it is when I order them locally. Do I really want to add a random, unknown, internet store into the mix? But when shoes cost upwards of $150(+tax) and these were significantly less than that...it's so tempting to try.

I really need to learn to trust my shoe intuition as much as my "car is going to break" intuition.
