Learning to walk in heels

I am off to a wedding at the end of this month and I decided that I was going to wear heels to go with my dress. So for the last week I have been practicing walking in heels. So far, from my week of heeldom I have gathered that some benefits from heels are: Your legs look slimmer, they make you taller and if you pick some nice ones your feet look very pretty. However, I have spent most of this week tottering around feeling like I am going to topple over at any second, and I am sure my walk on many occasions has mirrored Bambi's first attempt of movement. Hopefully with some more practice I will be able to walk quicker than a three year old, in a straight line and not feel like I am about fall flat on my face… Practice, practice, practice.

I went to see Taking Back Sunday play the other week and thought they were really good, though I much prefer their old songs to their new. Plus OMG how tall is the lead singer!!! The best performance of the night in my opinion was the song 'Cute without the e, cut from the team' - it was awesome how pretty much the whole crowd joined in - the atmosphere was electric.

Recently I also went to see 'The Proposal' with Sandra Bullock & Ryan Reynolds. It was nothing original (how many times has the theme of pretending to be in love with someone and then actually falling in love with someone been done before?) aside from that though - the physical comedy was great, the script was very witty and the chemistry between Reynolds and Bullock was like a cork ready to pop from an excellent vintage of champagne. I really enjoyed it, and would definitely recommend it. Plus it is not one of those 'romcoms' that are doe eyed and soppy I think there is enough banter and comedy to appeal to the men in the audience as well.

I have been hitting the girlie mode on my 'lifeometer' pretty hard over the last couple of weeks - what with wearing heels (strictly around the office and at home, I don't think I am ready to tackle the outside world in them yet), then clothes shopping with one of my close female friends at the weekend - which by the way was loads of fun, plenty of girlie chat with a sprinkling of lengthy discussions about horses, and then to top it all off this coming weekend I am getting my hair done. Add in some bubble baths and a pink hair clip…… I feel my girlieness is on overload! Not that I want to man it up or anything - but I am feeling the need to play x-box 360, read a comic book and reconnect with my inner geek.

I will write again soon
