Gone is the time...








Gone is the time of wearing two hats, two pairs of mittens, two sweaters and a coat.




Gone is the time of slipping on the ice while two old men across the street stand and talk.




Gone is the time of moving my car because if I don't they'll plow me into a snowbank




Gone is the time my glasses fogging up when I come inside




(and almost falling down the stairs because of it)




Gone is the time of huddling under three blankets, one of them being electric,




because I can't justify turning on the heat.




Gone is the time of praying that I'll finally get a snow day.




(I know it's just never going to happen now)












BUT












Now are the days where I can walk to school in a sweater, and I don't really mind not being able to park my car where I live because it's not cold when I walk to get it! Now are the days when, on occasion, I actually walk home for lunch instead of grabbing it at the cafeteria. But even more importantly......




Now are the days when I can wear my CROCS. I love my CROCS. They are the most comfortable shoes that I own! If you know me at all you know that when I do stenous activity (an intense amount of walking) or with certain weather patterns my legs will hurt. Right before Mom and I went on vacation she picked me up these exact CROCS. At first I thought they were REALLY ugly, but I never once complained about my legs on the cruise. And now it feels like I'm floating on a cloud. Today was the first day I've worn them in 2007 and I'm honestly excited! As ugly as people think they are, I think of them as the little lost puppy dog. So ugly that they're cute!






As soon as these "puppies" come to Canada. They're mine! Dress shoes that are CROCS?! AMAZING!













I also own these ones. They're my favourite and it suprises people when they see that they're CROCS.
What is your thoughts on CROCS? Cute? Ugly? Do you own a pair? Would you ever own a pair?

Crocs + feet = ugly.
I'm sorry but I'm not sold on them. They remind me of those big boxes that always hold animals, like lions and tigers (and bear, oh my!) - and they have air holes in them...they've just never settled right with my gut. Although, I will have to admit that the dress shoes are quite cute and I may be tempted to try those ones! Maybe I'll convert after all!

Amy,

I do agree..the old crocs are QUITE ugly...but until you've gone and worn a pair..you have no idea what you're missing! TRY the sandals or the dress shoes..you will fall in love..promise..or I'll buy them from you!
