Tootsies
Probably the hardest part of spring for me is my feet. Confused? Let me splain......no, let me sum up (points for the first person to name the movie that comes from!!!). My feet have been treated so well during the winter. All comfy and cozy in thick socks and comfortable shoes. Nice, warm, tall boots. Lovingly rubbed with lotion every night before bed........then BAM!!! Spring hits and I suddenly expect them to endure harsh, cutting sandals as I expose them to the elements. Sockless shoes that are majorly cute, but majorly NOT comfortable. Every spring I end up with countless blisters and sore spots all over my heels and toes until my feet toughen up. By the end of summer they are so tough I could walk barefoot across glass. But not in the spring. My feet are more like men in the spring. Whiny and annoying and begging to be comforted and snuggled. (By the way, that totally wasn't a jab at Andy....I just thought it was funny.....true, and funny). And so, with 2 hot spots and 1 blister on my foot already........let spring BEGIN!!!!

AMEN to all of that sista...even the whimpy men part (totally agree). However, here in the frigid state of Ohio, I dare not expose my little tootsies for at least another 6 weeks or so. If only we had the moola to get a pedicure once a week...sweetness! Oh, and is the movie the princess bride (just a shot in the dark).
I knew it. I can even tell you who said it to whom. Oh well, still no prize for second place. BTW, Indigo to Wesley about Buttercup getting married. I love that movie
I would totally take all that foot pain for spring weather! It feels a long way off right now, although we will supposedly get weather in the 50s this weekend - hopefully.
Really? You've busted out the sandlas already? I haven't! I'm still in socks and comfy shoes. Your feet are quick on the upstart!!
I like the feet like men analogy. Yes they whine and want to be cuddled, but usually (and I know I'm generallizing) when push comes to shove they toughen up and get the job done.
Of course I'm always confused by the whole "cute but uncomfortable thing". I read a line somewhere (probably somewhere I shouldn't have been) that no man has ever refused to sleep with a woman because her feet weren't cute enough. (Do you need me to sensor that line?) Honestly, who are you trying to impress?
(Oh, and I should mention that with long hair and a mustache I am a dead ringer for Inigo.)
Oh,,,,I knew what it was!!!! Princess bride,,,thanks for the clue Lee--it seriously would have driven me nuts all night.
Cam is loving his flip flops,,,but has a blister b/n his toes. Spence still wants his "tennis shoes" I hope he will convert to sandals soon. much easier.
I'm just jealous you can wear sandals. We still have a good two months before such things can happen here! Enjoy the warm weather for me!
