This post brought to you by Bristol Palin and Oh! Calcutta

Ugh this pic doesn't even do them justice
When I heard today that Bristol Palin is going to be on Dancing With the Stars, I knew I had to honor the Palins immediately.  I needed to find an occasion to wear those shoes.

  I'm 5'9.  And so is Mr Incredible (height may or may not be his only un incredible characteristic.)  And what better place would I have to wear these than an Indian restaurant?  Where I can one up small Indian men two times with 1) my height 2) my thick (er?) Buffalo accent?  I bet Bristol felt like me, too.
Bristol are you feeling self conscious than your leg is bigger than his head?  Very relatable tonight, Bristol.  Very relatable.

Sarah, why do your legs look so much hotter than mine?:
and this pic DOES NOT DO MY LEGS JUSTICE.




One Oh! Calcutta martini (two parts liquor to one part pineapple juice to one part Indian cologne)


Indian waiter, "you get rose he get beel."
Do I have loose ends not tied up?  Have I made a complete thought throughout this whole post?  Sorry.  Oh! Calcutta.  and mr incredible's left over beer.  good. night.

This week in review:



Someone better get me a beer quicker than you can say "Mr Incredible's new shoes."

Because every time I pass them I shudder.

Just because they're Adidas doesn't mean they're stylish.  This is called victimizing the brand name shopper.  Shame on you, Adidas.

The worst part of this entire fiasco?  I did this to him.  See, he needs a pair of white sneakers for his nursing program.  Because nurses wear white shoes so body matters can show up clearly on them.  Mr I was about to buy shoes himself.  That in itself is against the laws of nature and the laws in this home.  Add 'white' and 'sneakers' to that list and you can call me Johnny-on-it.

Two choices.  K-swiss, or Adidas.  Weighing options, weighing options- Adidas.  I seriously didn't think they'd look that bad though.

*** I just told him to read what I've written so far and he said, "how bad do they look?" then clicked over to the photos.  I suppose this is my opportunity to show the world***
uh huh.

In his defense, he realizes this.  The first day he came out doing the Newsboys heel click and asking "what is it that reminds me of being a little boy again?"


But this.  This has to stop.  When you take them off, Mr Incredible, they must be parallel with each other.  Or else it would be a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

Let's Talk Ugg Boots

Are you, friends, considering Ugg boots?  I'll tell you my two cents:

  • I got them last year because I needed boots and they seemed to be the waste of money safest bet.  You just don't know how boots will really look on yourself, so go with the trend.  If they look bad, you know they'll look bad on others, too
  • First time I wore them, they leaked.  I had been advised of this.  But really.  Dropping $160 on boots just to have them leak is capital A capital B capital S capital U capital R capital D.  I do not know if spelling out capital just proved a point.  I'm guessing no.
  • Quiz:  what do you think that the said leaking does to your Australian boots (do Australians even wear boots?)  Right on.  They smell.
  • I Arm and Hammered them, of course.  To get my money's worth.  Of course.  
  • And I'm still wearing them this year, when they're not wet and smelly.  The Catch.  I live in Buffalo.  Of course their going to get wet and smelly.  
  • They're so going out of style.  In my book.
  • Moral of the story:  I just ordered new boots (not Uggs- I'm smarter than that... although I do wonder if they've improved yet...)  Moral of the Story for You:  order your non-ugg boots now.  They're all on sale.  You'll thank me next year.

I could've gotten these from Urban Outfitters for $16 and been equally dissatisfied with my leaks in the Target parking lot.

Dress Up

I've always marveled at women who can wear heels and take long, thoughtless strides.



Imagine my surprise today when the girls went through my shoes and found these and were jumping around in them! Literally airborne.
