You can lose track of the number of houses that you own!

I have this weird adulation for sneakers. I think it dates back to my inability to purchase them as a child. Since my mother was a single parent I normally got a pair once every 4 - 6 months. When I was a child, I told myself that I would work my tail off to be able to obtain anything that my heart desired. Yes, I am so materialistic. Blame it on ESPN, the Internet, Michael Jackson, and Madonna's "Material Girl."

Now I simply have too many sneakers. I actually forget that I purchased some of them at times. I am starting to suspect that there is a sneaker fairy. That is the only way that I can explain finding sneakers in the oddest places. I find them in closets, the trunk of my car, and even at work.

I may lose track of the number of sneakers that I have. I will never, however, lose track of the number of homes I own.
