Tory Burch, Cordani and me, oh my!

I tried to buy a pair of shoes. I wish I had Tim Geithner on speed dial, because I really needed help deciding whether to "buy or not to buy"? Tim, Tim, Tim, that is the question. I was practically salivating as I stared at the fabulous Tory Burch sandals; oh and they came in red or yellow patent leather. I broke down and tried them on. So cute and almost comfortable. I had a color on each foot . I was shaking and a little nauseous trying to bring myself to pull out my Neiman's charge card. Ben Bernake, what's a girl to do? Save, spend, save, spend, save....I put them on "hold". I bought myself "time" not shoes. Much cheaper.

I couldn't stop myself, on to the next shoe store. I was crazed but focused. A pair of green, yes green Cordani sandals called to me from the shelf. As if hypnotized I asked to try them on. I needed to talk to President Obama, I needed government intervention! Help me I need regulators....or TARP money. I loved these sandals too. I was sweating and gasping for breath. Should I spend, spend, spend...buy both pairs in the name of economic recovery? Or save, save, save and have no cute summer shoes? Moments from fainting I put them on "hold" also. HOLD EVERYTHING!

I have no idea what to do. With two pairs of shoes on "hold" I'm in purchasing limbo and riddled with uncertainty. I think I'm going to pack a lunch and go try them on again. Perhaps by then someone from the Fed will have returned my call.
