Bring on the Summer!

It's May 22nd, and the End of the World didn't happen at 6:00pm.  And now, I have signed on, and noticed that I've been slacking in the blogging department.  Shame on me! 

Note *this blog isn't about bragging.  I enjoy shoes immensely and people have asked how many shoes I have, and this is just a fun way to explain my madness.  Madness I tell you!*

Summer is here.  Well not exactly.  Apparently summer is officially here on Tuesday, June 21st.  But the weather has been wonderfully hot and sunny.  Wake up to the sun rising.  Drive to work with the sun blaring it's rays in my eyes.  Spend the day with the bright sun shining through my office window.  Drive home with the sun tanning my left arm.  Yes, my left arm is darker than the right.  Last year my loving Sister C had mailed me "driving sleeves" which are gray with white polka dots.  Love them!  They even have little thumb holes where my fat thumbs peek through ^_^.  Anyhooo....Summer is here in GA!!!

My Vienna sausage looking toe are painted and have been shared to the world with my open toe shoes.  My wedges are now apart of my "what shall my feet wear today".  Being a measly 4" 8.25" tall, they give me much needed height.

I've collected these over the years.  And as you can see, I do tend to wear some more than others.  My recent purchase is the blue pair (bottom right).  When I wear them with shorts, it makes me look like I have looooong and not stubbly legs.  Love them!

Socks

This blog was an inspiration from my adorable son L and the McClures.  Yes M.Mc and C.MC, I know you're reading this :)

One school morning, like many days, we were hurrying out the door.  Before I could even step one foot out, I glanced down at L and to my shock he had put on BLACK DRESS SOCKS and white sneakers.  Is it wrong to wear that combination?  Is it appropriate to address this sock-shoe issue with a 7 year old?  Do I risk being late at dropping L to school so that he can change his feet attire?

Clock is ticking....

"L.  Why did you put those socks on?"

"I like the black socks.  They feel nice"

"But L, you've got Strong for Life today, and you'll be running around"

"I want to wear these socks and I just tied my shoelaces"

Tying his own shoelaces is something we taught L to do before he went into 1st Grade.  No more Velcro and slip on sneakers.  L was going to be a big boy and tie his own shoes.  So the thought of him untying his sneakers, running up the stairs to get white socks, re-tying laces....that would make us at least 10+ minutes late.

So it happened.  L went to school with his Black Dress Socks and White Sneakers. Let's just hope in the future he doesn't want to wear socks with sandals!!!!




Okay, my confession.  I love socks too.  I even wear them mix-matched ^_^
