Terminalcoffee discussion

I stupidly wore these today:


out of excitement for summer. Heavy backpack + cute shoes = blisters.

I can't blame you for wanting to wear summery clothes, Sally. It was in the 70s here over the weekend, and I immediately pulled out my flip-flops.
Heaven!

I've given up tights. It's bare legs from here until Fall! I don't care if it snows next week.

I hate foot blisters. That's why I never wear cute shoes like those.

No more snow!!!

:::knocks on formica:::

Wow. Those are like the boots Kiss used to wear, except with less glitter. I'm with Larry on this one.

I'm in the "not wear a jacket" mode, even if not wearing a jacket is slightly unreasonable:)

It's supposed to be...let me check...76 here tomorrow...

:::considers moving back to Texas for the warmer temps, remembers the bugs, and reconsiders:::

Yup, Jackie, -- and everything is bigger in Texas.

I know, Larry. Belt buckles, trucks, hats, egos, and humidity levels...

And buuuuuuugs.

Yep, here in the PNW it was so nice I almost put my wool coats and down comforter away. It's a good thing I didn't, because it went back down to the 40s for a coupla days. Started out in the 40s today, and I'm not sure what temp it is now, but it's getting warm again, so rah rah rah.

But as soon as it's really warm again I'm pulling out the spring clothes and will stubbornly pack away the winter in pure willfullness, daring those weather gods to pull a fast one again.

But big owee to blisters, painful feet.

Big old flyin' cock-a-roaches that my cats didn't even want to mess with... Ugh.

Jackie's cats are wimpy.

They're just picky about what they eat, RA. Cockroaches have a nasty chewy texture, apparently. Based on what my cats have said after accidentally eating them, of course.
And my own stomping experiences. I really hated trying to squish those things. Bleah! Bleah!!!

I'm disapointed that this thread is no longer about me.

What are you going to wear tomorrow, Sally?

I bet you looked really good in those shoes, Sally.

Thanks, guys.

I have a new outfit to wear tomorrow, but I'll probably be back to Danskos.

Hopefully not involving a certain stinky sweater, Sally?

I love Danskos but they don't love me. I wish they had them in the 1/2 sizes, as I'm in between.

So, describe the new outfit!

Pictures. We want pictures.

What kind of new outfit? What's the occasion?

I wore new jeans today. Well, I actually bought them a couple months back, off the clearance rack at Kohl's (11 bucks!), but I forgot until I searching my closet for something to wear because almost all my other clothes are dirty in anticipation of tomorrow massive laundry session.

this is my favorite post of today

Hee! Kevin gets me!

Here's a different pair of shoes I'm thinking of wearing tomorrow!


Yay spring. Finally cute shoes time of year.

Think I will rock my leather Keen walking shoes and my Seiko Coultura tomorrow
(I am a shoe and watch guy)

Eh, I'll just be glad if I can get rid of my winter boots.

YAY! DANSKOS!

I'm done with socks for the summer. I hate socks and I don't care if it does get cold again. I'm packing away my sweaters this weekend. I refuse to go back!

What about the monkeys, Gretchen? Oh wait ... wrong thread. This is the "Sally the Tenderfoot" thread. Not the sock monkey thread. Sorry.

Monkey.

My sis & bro-in-law moved to live off the east coast of Florida in Jan, and she has a counter ticking off the days she hasn't had to wear socks. I'm still having to walk around in my duct-taped lavender fuzzy-muppet slippers. BUT, I bought some cheapo flip-flops just for optimisms sake.

I brought my favorite scarf out today because today was upper 60's, lower 70's.

After hitting upper 80's all week, today was COLD.

Upper sixties, lower seventies is cold, Nools? Scarf weather?

currently 57 in lovely downtown kokomo looking for a high of 80 today. i do have socks on but i am wearing them on but they are velcro tear-aways so i can remove them easily when it gets warm

Official Spring Fashion Statement: Black Adidas Sambas replaced with White Adidas Sambas.

Annual metamorphosis accomplished.

Don't forget, RA, Nools is a crazy Californian. They bust out the sweaters when it gets down to 50.

50! 50 is winter coat weather....

We Californians are delicate and require a very specific, moderate temperature range. :D;

Heh! When it gets up to 50 here people start lounging about in the lawns with shorts and tank tops on.

Californians are delicate.

But Mark Twain said the coldest winter he ever spent was June in San Francisco.

It's still getting pretty cold here at night, down in the 30s, so I'm having to do some clever layering some days to not overheat in the afternoon.
I'm still wearing my wool coat to work, and I'm holding off on putting the sweaters away, too.

Walking to work this week in short sleeves has been wunderbar. 75 here right now. Things are blooming like crazy and birds are nesting. The swans in the lake next door are guarding about 8 eggs on their nest.

But Sally, this thread is still all about you and your switch of wardrobe/footwear.

Yes Sally please tell us more!

Heh. You guys are funny. I have nice comfy Dansko clogs on today and my new silk pants. Not as summer chic, but easier to walk about, fo sho.

Comfortable shoes are the best, but in trying to stay on topic, what is your most comfortable pair of shoes Sally?

You do realize, of course, that Crocs will make their reappearance across America any day now.

Crocks are evil.

Never understood the appeal of Crocs.

But RA - you are getting off topic.

Crocs are tomorrows parachute pants

Except that they provide less coverage...
