I have a friend who's training for a marathon and swears by the freaky hobbit shoes. I still do a double take every time I see someone wearing them on the street, though.

OMG those toe shoe things are super creepy! I don't care how comfortable they are. Why can't they make some kind of, like, toe cover for them? ugh
My office doesn't have a dress code aside from, basically, dress like a grown up if you're going to meet a client. If there was suddenly some sort of no tee shirt rule they'd have to fucking give me money to go to a tailor or something to make non-tee like shirts that actually fit me. Because those are very rare.
I'm in jury duty today and paid the $6 to get the wireless access. I'm officially addicted to the internet I guess.
Happy birthday, sarameg!!! We need to make a plan to get together! This week (and the weekend will be) super nuts.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I don't care if they look freaky. If they don't hurt and they let my feet move and feel the ground, I'll buy them. I hate wearing shoes. I'm such a hippie.

I think with regard to dress codes, the fancier t-shirts that women wear count as a "shell" which hardly anyone wears anymore.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The past week, I've been wearing denim shorts and a tank top to my office. I usually add a hoodie once I get there, since the air conditioning makes it freezing.

Happy Birthday, sarameg! Would love to see you guys if there are birthday shenanigans to be had...
Sitting in Starbucks before going in to work at noon. Do not want.

My work is the antithesis of dress code. Today, I'm wearing flip-flops, yoga pants and a scoop-neck Tee. But then, I had physical therapy this morning before work, so I probably would have worn jeans at least. I still can't believe I work for a university; this is not the way my mom dressed when she worked here!

oh JenP have you been to the karaoke at the Parkside Friday nights over in your hood? A karaoke expert friend says it's the current Best in Town.

You know, I bet the shoes with the toes would be great for boats. They look nice and grippy without getting too hot.

lisah - no I haven't, but thanks for the heads-up. Huh, it's Friday, isn't it? Hmm...
