2 Inch Heels Just Won't Do!

                              

Yesterday afternoon, I tried calling my mom.  For some reason, I had a feeling that she needed to speak to me.  May be she was just lonely..  I do worry sometimes about her every now and then.  Sure enough, I get this email from my cousin Manny this morning, telling me that my mom "needed to speak to me"--yes, I think I do think I possess the "psychic" gene from my family. 

Well, naturally, I stress out about it, and think of 1 million things that could be wrong.  Did she lose her meds?  Did she fall?  Etc..  Of course I immediately think of all the bad things that could have happened.  As soon as I get the email at work, I rush off and tell my supervisor that I have to go to my mom's and make a phone call.  Naturally, when I get to the phone, and dial the number--I get voicemail and she isn't picking up.  I call my aunt's house hoping I can reach her there, but I'm told by my uncle Manuel that she is at home and she must be upstairs away from the phone.  I'm glad I spoke with him--at least I knew basically that everything was okay; but I send an email to my cousins so they know they can relay the message that I had been trying to reach her all morning. 

Well, word gets around fast on the island.  Apparently, my cousins rushed over to my mom's house to check on her, and wouldn't you know, the phone was off the hook and it wasn't ringing.  So, my cousin sends me an email to let me know it.  Okay, I know that nothing BAD has happened, and I'm relieved, but I have Lizzy call from home to see what is going on. 

Well Lizzy finally got a hold of her, and this is why my mom wanted me to call her:

She needs her one piece black girdle.

She needs a shawl for one of her dresses--she forgot to pack that.

Oh..and she needs ANOTHER PAIR OF SHOES!! 

(Apparently, the ones she brought for my cousin's wedding will not do.  The heel is to short.  She needs a 3 inch heel at least, otherwise the dress is just too long on her.)

I'm on my way back to JCPenny's...  Wish me well!
