I had so much fun with my February blog challenge, that I decided to repeat it for March with a silly theme: Shoes!!!! I will wear a different pair of shoes every single day this month and write something creative related to the shoes.
Control Freak
She wore long pants on her short legs with those black four inch loafers every day. Consistency was the word she designed her entire life around. Her alarm clock set the same time no matter work day or not, her routine never strayed. Life as bland as the plain oatmeal she ate for breakfast.
You would never catch her without her day planner, not some fancy blackberry or IPhone, this girl preferred to keep things traditional. The third Tuesday of every month was book club, she knew this yet she still always wrote it down. Life was full of chaos and unpredictability, she chose to remain in as controlled an environment as she could.
Cool. Calm. Collected. Emotions were for the lesser people who refused to control their irrational weaknesses. Her clothes were simple, professional, and conservative as was her personality. She believed to be too much of one thing made you little of anything. No room for drama or the people that cause it in her world. Truth be told she didn't deal much with people at all unless she had to.
Every Saturday she cleaned her home. Dust. Polish. Vacuum. Scrub. Every Sunday she chose to get lost in a good book. Crossword puzzles at lunch during the week. Power walking followed by meditation each night when she came home. All her clothes including her socks were organized by color, season, type. No brash colors. Underwear all white cotton obviously. No piercings, tattoos, or jewelry as she was not one to draw attention to herself.
These shoes may be worn, but they haven't traveled far in life and neither has she.
