I'm on a highway to hell,...

One day this past weekend Keri and I went to our FAVORITE pizza place, Escape from New York on NW 23rd. Yum! It was a beautiful day, so we decided to sit outside. I was saving a table while Keri went in and ordered. As I was sitting there waiting, I was watching all these cute shoes walking by and I was making mental notes of what type of shoes I liked with different types of outfits. Then all of a sudden I noticed right across the street was a shoe store. That's when it hit me! Oh yeah!!! I need to buy some shoes!

You see, I went shopping for some girl clothes a few weeks ago and I still needed some girl shoes. I'd been meaning to go shoe shopping and here was the perfect opportunity right in front of me. I walked over to the shoe store while Keri finished up. When she came to get me I was trying on a wedge heel with a floral fabric wrap. Yes, the heel was too high and no! I don't have anything to wear with them, but I just wanted to try them on. I looked in the clearance box just for grins because all those shoes were 5 bucks! I couldn't find anything I really wanted. So, I suggested we go to DSW. I asked Keri, Do you want to go to DSW with me? She hesitated. I asked if that felt like a trick question? She glanced over at me out of the corner of her eye very suspiciously and we had a good little laugh. In the end though she decided to go with me.

So we're on our way, headed south on I-5 and that song High way to hell came on the radio. Keri is driving down the highway signing along and I'm starring at her from the passenger seat. All the sudden she stops singing, mid lyric, and looks over at me with a knowing look in her eye. We just bust out laughing. We both knew she believed she truly was on a highway to hell. It was hilarious!!!

Even though this girlie stuff I've been looking into isn't Keri's idea of a good time, I have to admit she has been pretty supportive of me exploring this side of myself. I am grateful to be in a relationship with someone that is supportive of me being true to myself even if it takes her a minute or two to warm up to the idea.
