You’ve heard of Taco Tuesday, but what about Taco Monday?

It’s similar to Taco Tuesday, but better, because when it comes to tacos (and margaritas), sooner is better, and Monday comes sooner than Tuesday. You can’t argue with that logic.

Just like there’s no bad time for tacos, there’s also no bad time to go shopping and randomly pick up a bright yellow bag on clearance. I called it a birthday present to myself, but that was really just an excuse because I bought it about 2 weeks before my birthday.

So the moral of today’s story is: Life is short. Don’t wait to eat the tacos or buy the bag.

On this particular day, I noticed the cord that ties these shoes was getting a little bit worn. They were cheap, so I wasn’t really surprised. Anyway, I forgot about it and put them back in my closet.

Fast forward to last Friday when I was up at 4:30am to catch a flight to NYC for my birthday weekend (the only good reason to be up at 4:30am). In my sleepy stupor, I put these on, hopped on the plane, hopped off the plane, and proceeding to walk all over Soho. The shoes got exponentially sadder as the day wore on, and I still had a lot of day ahead of me. But it was New York, so naturally the best option was to go buy new shoes and throw these in the trash. So that’s exactly what I did. 🙂

Farewell, old shoes. Consider this your swan song.
