wish list now includes - bebops. or, saddle shoes. we used to call 'em bebops when i was a kid. there was a time i had to wear them to school. uniforms. yeah - those were the days. it was so much easier to get dressed in the morning. so. much. easier. you can get me the bebops online from payless for $17.99 plus shipping, and shipping is free if they're delivered to the store, which is fine by me. go ahead & get them anytime.
