17. Have you ever seen a ventriloquist act?

Not in person, but I saw quite a few on television as a child.

18. In 1839 John William Draper took the first portrait photograph of a female face made in US. Do you like having your photo taken?

Not particularly...I definitely photograph better when I am not posing.

19. How long do your shoes/boots last (and do you wear some pairs until they fall apart)? How many pairs of shoes/boots do you own?

It depends on the boots and shoes. Dress ones last a very long time for me; whereas athletic shoes less than a year, depending on if I am running, etc. I have around 90-100 pairs of shoes.

20. In 1946 the film ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ premiered in New York – have you ever seen it?

I have seen it a few times, but not for a while.

It has been another busy week; this time less chores and more social interactions. Treat pictures still coming.

!!!!!! What?? I can't even begin to picture that. I have so many issues finding shoes that meet my criteria and that fit, that I have basically one pair for work for most of the year except summer, one pair of summer shoes that work for both work and not being at work, and one pair of trainers (although I need them less now that I no longer have a treadmill -- the other forms of exercise I do don't really require footwear). I have one pair of winter boots for messy days, and one pair for less messy/rain days (and if it's dry/no snow, or just showers, I wear shoes). I hate shoe shopping so much -- the only thing that is worse is bra shopping.

I am including flip flops and house shoes in that number. I have always loved shoes. Unfortunately, my feet do not always love them...I have issues with blisters quite often, sometimes I will be fine for a couple of wearings and then boom, blisters. Most of the shoes I have, I have owned for at least 8 years, they just do not get worn all that often. I did purchase tow new pair this year (one, after 2 wearing, blisters, the other seems fine.)

I'm not sure I have the closet space for that many shoes :)

We redid our master bedroom closet in April, so I purged shoes and had to figure out exactly how much space I needed. In my defense, I love shoes and have only purchased 2 new pair this year.
