My inability to make a decision often controls my life, haunts me in my dreams and drives my fiance bat shit crazy......
First let me say, I am balling on a budget. My entire wardrobe is from Wal-Mart, Goodwill, Payless, and the Target clearance rack. Let me also clarify that the only time I am even shopping at Payless or Target is a payday Friday.
The following events occurred Thursday, 05/28/2015. Enjoy my pain, while I try to embrace my irrational thought process.
On Thursday night, I took my five year old to Kumon to receive his Math and Reading assessment. Once we finished, I thought it would be a great idea to walk down to the Payless in the same shopping center. Worst idea ever.
After looking at the world's smallest selection of women's size 12 and 13 shoes, this should have been an in and out trip. Instead, the obsessing and over-analyzing began.
The purpose of this trip was to purchase ONE pair of casual shoes. A shoe similar to a Ked's or Tom's shoe. These shoes would be for shorts, capris, etc. Let me just be blunt--- There were NO OPTIONS in the women's section, aside from a pair of american flag patterned flats. Since Jen already has american flag print shoes, I couldn't copy her and get a similar pair...
I decided to turn around and look in the men's and there they were.... the cutest pair or American Eagle low top casual shoes. For your viewing pleasure, here are the shoes:

The following shoes were priced as follows:
Red: $15
White: $11
Blue: $27.99
Gray: $19.99
Tan: Unavailable
And here was my thought process......
Oh my gosh, the red ones are so cute!!!! Am I trendy enough to have red shoes? Red shoes are cool, but will they be cool next year? I am 28 with a five year old, so that means I am 33 years old in spirit and I doubt anyone who isn't a size 3 should be wearing red fucking shoes.
Off with the red shoes... I am not Dorothy.
Okay, white, your turn. Holy fucking clown feet. Really, is there a reason I have a size 13 foot? Gross!
Okay, let's see what you got blue. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO CUTE!!!!!!! ER MER GERD!!!!!!! I love you blue shoes... but why the hell are you $27.99 and want ass hole at Payless made this decision?
You make my boat feet look so slim and small... wait is that even possible? Is blue the new black? Does blue go with everything? Can I wear brown or black with them? Of course not! But I love you blue shoes...
I will give you a try gray.... Gray, you are legit... you are the rational decision.,.. You aren't loud like the red ones, you aren't ugly like the white ones, you will match my brown and black clothing.,.. You make my feet look a semi normal size. I really want the blue shoes, but why are they $8 more and why do I care to spend an additional $8 for you?
THIS IS MY MOMENT... As Colby says, "Stuck on stupid, and parked on dumb...." Why is choosing a pair of shoes the biggest deal of my life? My kid is bored out of his mind...
You win gray. You are the logical choice.
FAST FORWARD TO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY......
Trying on the pair of gray shoes repeatedly. Requesting Jen's approval of the gray shoes. Obsessing over the blue shoes I did not purchase. Dreaming of the blue shoes. Convincing myself I made the wrong decision...
Yep, I am going to buy the blue shoes.
