You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And your feet are even bigger than mine! (Right? I'm a 10.)

I can do a 4 kid's on a want-loose-shoes day and a 3.5 pretty easily. I think.

This year I bought only 1 pair of shoes all year: sandals at the Zappos outlet. I am glad that I bought a ton of really great fluevogs and don't feel compelled to buy new shoes because the ones I have are well made, comfy and rockin'. I think sarameg was the one who convinced me that good shoes are worth it.

OK, how do these kid's sizes work?? I wouldn't have thought there would be that much more overlap. I mean, you can wear grownup shoes, too, right, Kat?

Sure. I wear a 6.5-7 in women's. Oddly, the sandals I have which I think are a 4 (?) are a little long but also a little wider than the brand (Born) in women's.

That's just weird, then.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm a men's 7 1/2. I go shoe shopping and I feel like freak of nature, because half the stores don't even stock my size.

If you look at shoe length in adult sizes [link] then compare the to shoe length in kid sizes [link] you can see the overlap.

Some shoes I can only find in kid sizes (like saddle shoes).

The puppies are up and eating. Autumn, Ayumi, and Amaya are still there. There's one boy without a collar and another boy, I think Akoni, left.

I think perhaps Ando is the one that is gone?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I wish we could just use Euro shoe sizing -- one scale for kids', men's, and women's.

I really am a fan of well made shoes. My fluevogs have taken a beating and do need to go to the cobbler for some minor stuff, but I wear the hell out of them. I do try to get them on mega-sale, though.

Today was not the day to be down in Fells Point. I don't think it broke freezing and the wind was awful.

Then I had to come home to do laundry and clean since my schedule is all off.

And I haven't gotten my brother a birthday present and it is tomorrow. And he'll be 30.
