The shoes.

Around our house I do most of the chores, taking care of the yard, doing laundry, taking care of the dishes, etc. This works out pretty well for both of us, Miss H is very busy and I don't really mind doing them so that's just the sort of pattern we've kind of fallen into. While tidying up in the bedroom the other day Miss H noticed me putting away a pair of stockings with attached garter belt. She commented about how it looked like they needed to get washed and I agreed. I told her that I would toss them in with the other laundry later when I was washing my boring old "boy" clothes for work. She stared at me with a look of shock in her eyes and I thought her head was about to explode.

"You don't hand wash those?", she asked in amazement. "No", I replied, now feeling a bit stupid. I explained how I toss them all into the washer on the gentle setting then into the dryer on low. I've never had a problem before but Miss H then went on to describe how from now on I needed to hand wash them using something delicate like Woolite then let them air dry on a rack that she has for just such a purpose. "Go grab all your delicates and you can do a big wash this weekend", she announced. I was a little bummed because Miss H was allowing me to dress that night and I absolutely *love* wearing lingerie or at least stockings with my outfits but I wouldn't be able to that particular night.

I found a nice stretchy dark pink dress to wear and was trying to figure out which shoes to wear with it when my eyes caught one of my favorite pairs of shoes. A pair that I loved but couldn't wear that often because they looked better with bare legs then with stockings.

Nice.

I quickly pulled them out and started buckling them up. They take a little extra time to get into but I think you'll agree, they're well worth the wait.

Now if you'll excuse me I have a lot of laundry to do...
