So this is yet another random obsessive thought from an obsessive Virgo.. but I'm wondering what the majority of girls out there prefer when it comes to shoe shape. And I'm not talking about just any part of the shoe -- I mean the front toe area.. when you're looking straight down at your shoe…

For those of you who don't know me, I got married last November, 2006. Those of you who were there I'm sure recall how chilly it was that night :) But I hope you also retained some fond memories of the ceremony at Villa Montalvo, the reception on the veranda, YS and my first dance…
