i went for a drive and a walk last night. i learned a lesson from a previous drive from belfast to dublin, and took my heels off while driving this time, and drove in my stockinged feet. it's not that i can't drive in heels, i can. the problem is the carpet scratches the heck out of your heels.

my favourite ankle boots have never been the same since that drive from belfast to dublin. it was fun. driving from belfast to dublin in five inch heels is something everyone should experience once. but once you've done it that first time, spare your heels and drive barefoot or bring flats!

it was kinda tough to remain ladylike while taking heels off and later putting them back on in the confined space of a driving seat, though. there were legs everywhere!

we parked the car and walked for a while. that was fun too, but the drive was the most enjoyable part of the experience for me. it was scary at first being out there driving around in a little black dress. and yes, the fear, the adrenaline rush, is part of the buzz. but after i'd been driving around for a while that faded, i relaxed, and it all felt very natural and normal, as though i drove around in a little black dress every day. and that was a buzz too.
