So. I just got a pair of cowboy boots for my birthday. I am very excited about them. They are plain back, with some typical cowboy boot embroidery happening on the side. Currently, I am wearing them with a pair of jeans. After I get off of work I plan to wear them with a pair of short shorts, which will probably encourage many people I know to bring up the subject of Daisy Duke and how I am not nearly as attractive as she is.
Now, dear reader and future self, I want you to remember these boots. Has anything interesting happened while wearing them? Did I wear them for only a month before realizing that I look slightly ridiculous in them? Did I lose them, break them or throw them away? Have they fallen apart? Are they sitting in the back of my closet even now, although I haven't even thought about actually wearing them in several years, at least not since last Halloween when being a "cowgirl" was a relatively easy costume idea to pull off in the short span of time since I found out that there was actually a party for me to go to, and god, I would have had such a better costume if someone had told me they were throwing that party a week ago?
Future me, remember and reflect on the joy of the trip to Western World and how it took me a mere 10 minutes to pick from one of the three only plain, average looking women's cowboy boots that the store had. Then, after that, remember all of the good times in them, but also the humiliation suffered after an unbearably large number of Daisy Duke references.
Enjoy this moment of reflection, me. And please, drag those old boots out of the back of the closet for one last romp around your life, even though you undoubtedly have absolutely no reason to wear cowboy boots, as you no longer metal work, and you have never properly learned how to wrangle cattle.

I especially enjoy the cattle wrangling reference. I really need to shine them... they are looking pretty dull.
