My feet are a mess. But in those sandals, no one is going to be looking at your toes! I say, GO FOR IT! ~W

Like Vicki, I go without shoes whenever I can… which here in the PNW, is less often than in my native Texas. I hope I get to go barefoot outside sometime this summer!

_______________________________________

I love shoes. And I’m no fan of being barefoot, because I have poor vision and tend to slaughter my feet. If I can cut my foot, I will. We have a no-shoes rule in the house but I break it all the time because otherwise I’m an accident waiting to happen.

And this weather, IS KILLING ME. That is NOT hyperbole. ~W

Etc.

Oh, I’ve been hootin’ and hollerin’ for months, but it’s doing no good. I recall something about flies and honey?? ~W

All I have are those little white socks you wear with your gym shoes… and a bunch of those fuzzy socks you wear around the house to keep your feet warm in Winter. Funny, I seem to wear those all year ’round out here. Hmmm…

And where’s the pictures of ugly feet, I wanna know!?!?! I rushed right over here…

(and they can’t be as bad as most of the people who THINK they can wear shorts here in AZ…bleach!)

___________________________________________
You know, I never wear shorts! Even when I lived in a hot place, I just didn’t do it. There are parts of my body that I’d like to remain in denial about, and wearing shorts would ruin my state of ignorance. ~W

Wende, would you email me? There’s some prime writing here that I’d love to sent to Blogtations http://blogtations.typepad.com/
(I understand why you’ve pulled your email address…)

SNOWING? Oy, oy, oy. I’m so sorry. I’m ready for SUNSHINE. So, so ready. Ready for skirts and sandals and yummy ice tea. ~W

Yeah, I’m afraid the grass was pretty wet when he mowed… but it had to be done. I went out today and started the arduous work of weeding. It’s overwhelming. ~W

The sun is surely coming your way!

___________________________________________
That’s just it… I’m not sure that it is. And even if it does arrive, I’m not sure that we’ll warm up to 70. I’d LOVE your 90 degree weather. But I’m happiest when I’m hot. ~W

I feel better now. Greg is a Stanford Alum and I worked there for 13 years. So, don’t be dissing Stanford, you hear?

I’m not gardening yet — I barely remember to water. I’m growing lots of weeds. Lots and lots of weeds. And, lavender. And, well, not much else. Weeds and lavender.

I’m just wasting my summer!

Vicki — I hate shoes too — that’s why I love my Crocs so much — they are like going barefoot with the public censure!

Ha ha ha ha… Cal Weenie. That makes my day. I should clarify: I didn’t go to UCB. I went to Seminary on Holy Hill, though and we have a tight relationship with them—including cross registration. And, I’ve been a Cal Bears fan since I was 14. So… uh… Let’s just agree to say USC sucks, m’kay?

I told Rich the other day that I want to be disposed of, when I go, with barefeet. Can’t stand shoes. Can’t stand socks. And I have very ugly feet, too- barely any toes, just little snausages. For the sake of the world at large I should do a better job of covering them, but I just can’t.

Summer will be there shortly. What are you growing in your yard/garden?

___________________________________________
Presently, I’m growing weeds. But I’m attempting to get a handle on this yard. It’s so over-run and poorly maintained. It was when we moved in and I feel like we just fight an un-winnable war. I’d like very much to pull it all out and start from scratch.

And I love shoes! I adore them, really. But the sock thing creeps me out. However, it’s been so cold I’ve resorted to wearing fuzzy socks in doors to keep my feet from feeling like ice. Once they get cold I have a hard time getting warm again. ~W
