I Have To Stop Being So Cheap

This morning when I got to work, I noticed a noise coming from my shoe. It was like a little rattle. After I got my coffee drink thing, I sat at my desk and noticed that there was a rock in the sole of my shoe.

The soles of my shoes have little rubber squares/shapes along the bottom. They're pretty worn out, but one square has completely worn away and there is just a hole that you can stick your finger in. The hole doesn't go all the way to my sock though. No one would ever see it if I was walking normally. Next to the hole, there's a square with three quarters of it, cut open or worn open, rather. So, with YB standing at my desk, I saved the rock (pretty good sized) and threw it away.

Just now I heard the rattling noise again! I looked at the shoe on the left where I had saved the rock earlier and there was nothing there. I looked at my right shoe and there was a teeny weeny square that had worn away. Well, there were three rocks inside. I could be a one man band, dancing to the beat of my own drum with these rocks that keep getting stuck in my shoes.

The cheap part about this story is that I only wear these shoes to work. I think they were 25 dollars at Value City and the only reason why I went in there in the first place was because I desperately needed shoes and I didn't want to go far from home to get them. I guess they've done a good job for me, and I should buy a new pair..decisions, decisions.
