Left Shoe - Where Art Thou?


Friday was a very sad sad day. It probably sounds a little heartless to say this, but I know what Jessica Simpson is going through. She's missing her beloved dog Daisy that was snatched by a coyote and I'm missing my beloved left Marc Jacobs shoe.

Friday was like any normal day. I came into work, plopped my purse on my desk, kicked off my walk-to-work shoes and was about to put on one of my favorite pairs of shoes when I noticed the left shoe was missing!!! Holy Crap! I dropped to my knees like a gunshot heard in South Central and began scouring the floor. It was nowhere to be found. I was missing the left shoe of my Marc Jacobs black peep toe with colored polka dots. The right shoe was chilling by itself and looked lonely. It's sole-mate ran away.

I know I left them both under my desk so where did the other shoe go? I hadn't worn them since the week before and the other 2 pairs that were under my desk the day before were still there. I searched the rest of my office high and low for the shoe...absolutely no luck. The only possible solution is that the cleaning lady accidentally threw it away in the trash. Why and how...I don't know. But I know both shoes were there the night before.

After filing a report with building management and conducting an investigation, the shoe is still M.I.A. and I am S.A.D. The head of Cleaning said the cleaning lady never saw the shoe and did not put it in the trash. She said it was probably one of my co-workers doing it out of "jelosity" (yeah she said jelosity). I don't believe my co-workers would do such a thing. I think the cleaning lady either has a friend with only a left leg and wears 8.5 size shoes.

It feels like part of me is missing. They were from a few seasons ago and irreplaceable. Where art thou left shoe? Come home...your mother and sole-mate are waiting.

P.S. If anyone sees a one-legged woman in a wheelchair wearing polka-dot peep toe shoes. Grab the sucker off her foot and run. Don't let her wheel you down. There will be a reward involved.
