I completed 19 pages, successfully danced on a table without breaking it down, hot tubbed fully clothed, slept with Sherilyn and Veronica without accidentally draping an arm over them in the middle of the night, led the way down a dark, stony path without getting anyone killed, and remembered to take my pills everyday, even being out of my regular routine. But my biggest accomplishment of the weekend was this:
NEW SHOES!!
They are possibly the dog-ugliest shoes I've ever had on my feet, but oh. my. goodness they are comfortable! I bought them at a frou-frou health food store in San Antonio. At first, I slipped one on for the sole purpose of making fun of the hideous things. "Who would WEAR these...." I started to ask. But my sarcastic question was soon overcome with "ahhhh. OOOOOOOOH. Mmmmmmm. YESSSSSSSSSSSS."
"I'll have what SHE'S having," thought the customers who watched me breathe deeply and delight in my shoegasm. I walked straight to the cash register and did something I rarely do: impulse purchased. I felt a tinge of guilt that lasted for, oh, 1.5 seconds. Before the cashier had even given me the total, I'd asked for scissors to remove the tags, and had slipped the shoes on my feet. I enjoyed a walking massage all weekend long.
I LOVE my new Crocs.
And I don't even care that they're ugly.
Love, as they say, is blind.
"Do it to me one more time...."
"I'm walkin' on sunshine...."
"Man! I feel like a woman!"
"You make me feel! You make me feel! ..."
I think I'll have to create a new iMix just for my shoes. :)

Now I am wishing I had bought a pair of those ugly shoes :)
I have heard so much about these ugly shoes, now I want some, how much did you pay may i ask?
Now, see...only the best people wear those Crocs around these here parts! I'm oggling them in red, currently, but have had one too many shoegasms this week already.
Santa?
Ok Stace you got me, i am totally into ugly shoes so i want some.
I didn't see a thing wrong with those shoes. They look A LOT like my "Born" clogs which I actually have on right now! Yup. . I wore them to work today and do so if my back's tired and my day isn't full of meetings or execs parading in and out. Every chance I can get away with wearing these clog-like "Russian-immigrant" shoes, I wear them. (Please no offense to any Russian immigrants; it's only a phrase.) I bought these wonderful massage clogs in Nov 2000 when my Mom was in the hospital and my legs/back hurt after spending all day in heels and then going to the hospital. These were the answer! To illustrate just how much I wear them, after about 2 years of wearing these shoes as much as possible, my Dad said "what shoes did you used to wear before you bought those things". Obviously, it's about all anyone sees me put on my feet. And I.DO.NOT.CARE! *Ü*
Glad you like your shoes Stacy!!
Well I almost bought the same pair in red....except that it would have gone against my long held policy of purchasing ANYTHING from a frou-frou health food store.... :)
All the trendy kids around here wear 'em, in a wild collection of colors. Even the boys.
I just bought a pair for the 6 1/2 hour car trip for Thanksgiving. Mine came from Walmart (or as I like to call it "Wally-World") and although mine are a totally un-natural shade of cotton candy pink, I LOVE my new ugly shoes.
