A few pick ups from my deployment

still waiting on my grapes to come in the mail
On saturday, when my lady friend asked me if there was anywhere we needed to stop at on our way to my bday and all i could think about was, "Man, i'd love to buy myself a pair of shoes as a bday present to myself."
I said i wanted to stop by a store but couldn't bring myself to say, "Niketown" because i was embarassed (she knows about my "previous" hobby, but i would look selfish buying shoes on my b-day when i was saving up to buy supplies/food/drank for the party patrons.
Later on in the night, i told her the truth and she said we should have stopped by there to see if they had a pair for me.
If i was single, i would have had both shoes in my collection, but i want her to think that i have restraint and can modify my priorities and act like an adult for once.
Even though i'm sure she doesn't care - i wanted to practice responsibility and i think having a woman helped me achieve that. Trust breigh, since New Years, i bought one pair of Nike shoes (and considering that i averaged 2-3 pairs a month since 2008, that speaks volumes).
To be honest, i really miss buying shoes, that's why i couldn't sell any to Kalon - it's all li really got left.
If this broad leaves me, i'ma kill her for ruining my sneaker collecting momentum.
Wanna hear a secret? I asked her to buy me a pair of shoes (half joking, half serious) a few weeks ago and she laughed it off.
She makes good money, but we haven't dated long enough for me to ask for that kind of shiit (even though i paid for almost every date, shiit has been a couple racks already - easy. I'd have all the kicks i wanted to since The Fire Red V's if it weren't for her.
Sucks that i have to choose one or the other.
Love Life or Fancy Sneaker collection?
Can't have it all breighs.
If i was in IT, it would be nil an issue.
