I Followed a Trend...

I had a credit from a Macy's return, so I broke down and bought a pair of Crocs. I know, I know... they aren't all that cute and trendy as hell. And lord knows I don't need another pair of shoes. But I wanted something I could do the following in:

* Slip on to walk to the mailbox, but not worry about walking through someone's muddy sidewalk. Nor burn my feet on hot cement through my cheap flip flops.

* Garden - because flip flops aren't practical and my gym shoes are too expensive to tramp around in the mud casually. (Running through mud is okay...)

* Walk around in Disneyland - because this is apparently what all the Disney freaks wear in the summer at the park. We'll see... my feet are picky.

* Wear socks with non-closed shoes - because I'm a nerd. But this will help in early spring when it's not warm enough to wear the flip flops, but too warm for my fuzzy slippers.

And really, do I need another excuse to buy shoes I can run over with my car or walk through rivers and NOT have them fall to pieces? I think not.
