One week between posts...

Wow, has it really been a week already? That's crazy. Maybe one day I'll actually come home at night and have time to post, but that week is not this week. On Mondays and Tuesdays I have class, so I likely won't post then unless I do it from work, and on Wednesdays for a few weeks I'm going to have 8 p.m. personal training sessions, so that's going to keep me from posting on Wednesdays. So let's shoot for Thursdays and see if we can't get in something else a little more frequently.

I did have my personal training session last night and I really like the training with this new place. Once again, I'm doing it through a Groupon and I'm really happy with it. It's actually group personal training, so there are a couple other people, which I thought I would find annoying, but is pretty nice because there's a little bit more going on and it keeps things more interesting. Also, I'm not required to make awkward conversation with the trainer, though I totally could because he's adorable and awesome. This is the second time I've gone to this place and I'd go back there before I went back to the first one I went to, but I likely won't be going to either because it's just not something I can reasonable afford. I'd love to be able to make a down payment on a house and have a personal trainer, but that's not possible given the amount of money I make, and one day I'd like to move out of my parents' house and not spend every cent of my income toward rent, thus prohibiting me from ever having a down payment.

Actually, my ideal plan is to buy some place with two bedrooms and rent out the second room for half or more of the mortgage. Right now rates are so low that I could conceivably rent out the second room for the ENTIRE mortgage, which would be awesome. And if I'm the landlord, then I don't have to deal with awful roommates because I just throw them out. Or something. I should probably consult an attorney on that.

So, I finally decided to retire my gold flats. They've served me well for many years. They cost $14 from Target about six years ago, but a summer living in New York and everything else they've been through have made them pungent and I think it's time they were thrown away. I believe I will be replacing them with the Qupid Thesis Flat:

I think it will make for an acceptable substitute. I liked my previous flats because they were a neutral, understated gold. Not too yellow, not too silver, not too shiny, not too obnoxious. Neutral, easy gold. So we'll see if these will work and, if not, I'll send them back.

As part of my quest to wear all my shoes (which I still can't do because my ankle still hurts and I can't put on heels) I am interested in eliciting advice on how to wear pewter flats. I have a pair of pewter, pointed-toe super-low wedge "flats" from Target. They're really cute, but I never know exactly how to wear them because the color is so unusual. I never feel like it matches anything and it seems too different to wear in contrast to things. I've searched the Interwebz and haven't found a lot of help, but have found some really cute pewter shoes. Thoughts?
