Road Trip.....

I love a good road trip....even if it's by myself. I can plug in Pandora on my Iphone or set the radio to a favorite station, and just sing myself along the road. I had a fun road trip today. It was only about 150 miles, and a trip I've done countless times. Some of these trips are totally uneventful....some not so much, like the time I had TWO blowouts on the same trip. But today's was just entertaining. Three totally random things happened. Here's the first......I'm driving along Texas SH 6 minding my own business when I see some 'things' in the road ahead. Now my husband will tell you that the fact I saw anything over 10 feet in front of the car is a miracle in itself. Yeah.....right! Anyway, I was being my usual observant self and saw this cluster of fairly small objects. I slowed down to see what they were and hoping against hope they weren't little dead animals. That would have brought a fit of hysteria on...but they weren't. They were shoes. Yep...about 12 shoes. Now I know you're questioning how I knew there were 12.....well, I stopped and turned around and counted. They were strewn all over the highway. Lest you might think I was doing a little 'school' shopping while I was stopping, you would be wrong. Although there WAS one pretty cute pump. It was kinda peachy colored with a stacked heel. Here's the thing.....none of them had a match. There were literally twelve different shoes. So, I ask myself.....how do these things happen? How do 12 mismatched shoes find themselves scattered down the highway? Wouldn't you think that if they fell out of a trailer, maybe there would have been at least ONE pair? I can just visualize the poor woman who has stopped for the night...possibly at her new house or new apartment, or on her own road trip and suddenly realizes that she has 12 shoes.....no matches...just 12 shoes. So in my mind I begin to mull this over.....I'm pretty sure she might have done a little panicking...especially if there were some Jimmy Choo's or some Christian Louboutin's in the bunch. Actually now I'm panicking for her. I saw no red soles so maybe we're safe on the Louboutin's....but the Choo's...I can't say. I'm thinking maybe she's backtracking from Lubbock or Amarillo...but maybe, just maybe, she's at a mall.....doing her shoe thing. Good luck and Happy shopping!!
