These Boots Are Made For Walking

When I tell someone new about my blog they are sometimes a bit confused about the title. So, I thought I would take a moment to explain. There was a book/made for TV movie a few years ago called "I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy". I didn't read it or see the movie, but I liked the title. Having had a mastectomy myself, and a hysterectomy, from which I was recovering when the infidelity shit hit the fan in my marriage, I have always referred to getting a divorce as having a "spouse-ectomy". Nancy Sinatra's 1966 hit "These Boots Are Made For Walking", which tells of a woman scorned who is putting on her boots, walking away from, and right over the guy who cheated on her has always been a favorite "oldie" of mine. I bought myself a pair of cowboy boots one summer. They are black brushed leather, and whenever I wore them I always felt...taller...stronger...like I meant business when I walked. Unfortunately I left them at my "marital home" when I vacated the premises last winter. Who knew I would be locked out of my house, unable to gain access to my belongings. Had I known, I definitely would have brought them along. My beloved boots are top on my list when I get to go on my first rescue mission back at the ranch. But all that is another story for another day. So, here for your listening pleasure is Nancy Sinatra in 1966 singing my song....Take it away Nancy...
