5 Things: Shoes and 5 Things: Summer Drinks, Post #24

I am listing things these days, making lists of Work and Plots and Phone Calls To Make. Do you find list-making soothing?

If so, I offer you the following prompts -- 5 Things: Shoes and 5 Things: Summer Drinks. I'd love to see what you would put down in your list! As for me:

5 Things: Shoes I Can't Do Without
[List-maker's Note: Obviously, as an addict of shoes, I would have MORE than these, but if I had to choose...]

1) A great pair of white trainers, sleek enough to be worn in the everyday but also supportive enough for walking. I actually own v. sharp ones with a stripe of snakeskin-print which I love exceedingly, but that might be a step too far.

2) Ankle-boots in black or brown, buckled, thick-soled, one and a half inch heels.

3) Riding boots, flat, in black or brown [Runner-up: cowboy boots in black or brown.]

4) Ankle-strap heels in black or brown, pointed toe, two-inch heels (no preference on style of heel). These are not always easy to find.

5) A pair of brogues or oxfords (lace-up, at any rate), preferably with a bit of a heel, in an unusual color.

You will note that I have no sandals on this list, because... I hate wearing them. Hate so much.


5 Things: Summertime Drinks

1) Iced water with lime, in a glass.

2) Iced F&M black tea with fruit, either strawberry or cranberry, in a glass.

3) Iced F&M green tea with something added (ginger a favorite), in a glass.

4) COLD COLD COLD fizzy water, Topo Chico in a glass bottle preferred, San Pellegrino in a glass bottle also fine, but will make do with Publix brand sparkling water in cans.

5) COLD California Sauvignon Blanc, more delicate than New Zealand or South African Sauv Blanc. Runner-up: Champagne, the good stuff from actual France.


What are your lists today? :)
