does this mean i’m one step closer to being a bag lady?
you decide.
but i know in my heart that it probably does.
here’s the only photo i could find online of my slipper-shoes that kevin gave me THAT I LOVE.
they’re the ones on the right. on the sportsman’s guide website, they say the below footwear is, left to right, roll booties, booties, and clogs. mine are the clogs at the very bottom right , with the fake fur warm fabulous stuff around the top.

CLOGS. so that sounds like you could wear them out in public, doesn’t it? wearing clogs out in public. other humans do that.
but all the verbage in the ad calls them SLIPPERS.
here’s the opening paragraph of the description:
“Why drive to the maul (I mean, “mall”)? My high-quality Slippers will fit every foot, soothe all those toes and please your budget. Slippers are one of our most popular items.”
SLIPPERS.
i’ve been wearing them when i give massages, but i figure that nobody pays much attention anyway because they’re focused on being relaxed and destressed and getting pain relief.
but today i decided to go out and give blood. kevin assured me once again that they’re SHOES that can be worn IN PUBLIC.
so out i went in my SLIPPER CLOGS.
i got to the blood center and the waiting room was packed with people. the lady at the desk said the wait was going to be anywhere from a half hour to 45 minutes, so i said i’d come back tomorrow.
so i had no chance to see if people were looking at me askance, wearing my SLIPPER CLOGS.
slippers, clogs, i suppose in the long run or even the short run for that matter it doesn’t really matter. dressed in my pink barack obama stocking cap and my warm and fabulous slippers, i’ll survive the winter and hopefully won’t be sent away somewhere because of my apparent craziness.
unless it was somewhere warm, that would be fine.
ok then,
ALREADY thursday night grace
p.s. the more i think about it, the more i want to wear my slipper clogs ALL THE TIME. unless there’s lots of snow on the ground. but why not? out to dinner, to holiday parties, to the grocery store of course…perhaps i’ll start a fashion trend.

They’re not shoes, but go ahead and wear them in public. Who cares about what society expects?
Did I ever tell you about that time I got on a plane, destination Midwest, and several passengers took off their shoes? What, are sitting in your easy chair in the den? Geez.
i hate to admit that I TAKE MY SHOES OFF ON PLANES. as surreptitiously as i can, but usually i wear slipons just so i can take them off. i don’t want my feet to atrophy when i’m on the plane! especially if i’m on a long flight, like overseas. but of course next time I’LL JUST WEAR MY SLIPPERS!
