Dreaming of Sandals
March 11, 2008 — Amoeboid Blurry SmileYesterday, I bumped into PosterGirl (see this post). She was as she always is: a vision of loveliness. Her attire accentuated that. She was wearing a skimpy kind of see through hippy skirt and sandals with bear feet.
I thought this was unfair. It is still winter. It isn’t cold. In fact, it is temporarily incredibly beautiful here. However, it is temporary. I don’t mean temporary like summer is temporary. I mean the evil weather people say it is going to snow on Friday.
I was stunned. I had just yesterday been fondly recalling my own sandals (as shown in the second picture here). I’d thought about getting them out. I’d thought about wearing them. I thought that although the weather was good that it was still too early. I’d keep wearing my shoes that don’t let me wriggle my toes the way sandals do. I’d keep wearing my shoes that don’t let fresh air breeze across my feet. So, I made a remark about her sandals.
Me: “You’re wearing sandals.”
PosterGirl: “Yep. I hate wearing shoes.”
Me: “You hate wearing clothes but you’re wearing them and it is winter.”
PosterGirl: “You have a point.”
Me: “Ooops. That happens sometimes.”
PosterGirl: “Pro noblem.”
Me: “Heh. I had a friend who used to say that all the time.”
PosterGirl: “Oh yeah? Who?”
The conversation went on about my friend. It turned out she didn’t know him.

It’s been flooding throughout the country. Gale force winds all weekend. Rain and nastiness abound.
I’m still in sandals. (I’m just accustomed to it. I don’t have shoes that fit properly…my feet don’t complain unless I stand still outside for too long. Otherwise there is not an issue here).
But yeah, sandals all yeah. Socks for a small portion of the midwinter. This is survivable, and it is what I do.
Thought I’d let you know.

Hmm… I can’t wear my sandals yet. That’s because we still have a pile of snow everywhere. However, I am dreaming of sandals, and transparent dresses and floppy hats.

I just got an updated evil weather report. It is supposed to turn crappy tomorrow. I have one thing to say about that: “Poo!”

Skimpy kind of see through hippy skirts are hot but I don’t think girls with bear feet would want to call attention to that sort of thing.

I’ve had my sandals out of the closet and fettled and fondled them, but it’s just not going to happen for a few weeks yet. My tiny boy jumped on my foot last week and snapped my third toenail in half so we’re the walking wounded at the mo.
Hehheh, bear feet, I spotted that too. Does she paint her claws??!

Yep. That she does. Though it isn’t quite consistent, she calls them ‘talons.’ I don’t think silly things need to be consistent.
She is quite hilarious. Hmm. Unfortunately, since she’s real and some of the hilarity is connected to real names of people, I can’t give more examples of the whole homophone thing she has going.
I’m going to have to go look at those two posts again. I can’t remember if I’d put homophone jokes in them. (I mean the on purpose kind — sometimes they happen by accident too).
The weather turned to crap a couple of hours ago instead of tomorrow. I’m disappointed. I hope it doesn’t snow today.

It’s suppose to be 85 degrees here, by the end of the week.
Hmm, maybe I should hunt up my sandals.

It didn’t snow. It’s still gross.

I wish for hot weather.
