As fall rolled around I determined that a new pair of winter boots were in order. Over the last season, I think I wore my poor black Uggs every single day. Weekends I'd wear them working dogs and going to different events. Monday would roll around and I'd polish them real nice and wear them with skirts and dress clothes at work. Oh how I wished I had bought two pairs. My favorite shoes were discontinued.
This year I did some research on line and would have been satisfied with any nice Keen or Merrill or Sorrel waterproof boot but based on my experience last year with the Uggs, I bit the bullet and went with that brand again. (Now I'm not a big Ugg girl - I don't do the slipper looking shoes (or so I thought - I'll have to go into my "Fuggs" (fake Uggs) later))
No sooner do I receive my beautiful brown box from Zappos, we experience one of the worst winters on record. I can't help but think this is karma:
Me: "Oooh, look how pretty these boots are. I really shouldn't spend this kind of money but I loooove my Uggs"
God: "Girly, you really shouldn't spend that kind of money. How 'bout a nice pair of LL Bean boots. That's much more along the lines of what your budget allow for."
Me: "Oh but if I wear them like the ones I got last year, they will be worth it"
God: "I wouldn't if I were you"
Me: "Look at how pretty they are. And the shearling, it's soooo warm"
God: "You really think your feet need to be that warm?"
Me: "Oh but I do! You never know. "
God: "Bam! Take that! Here's 15" of snow. Take your fancy boots out in that why don't you?"
Me: "Wow, my feet were really cozy out there. Wouldn't you know it? See what a great investment."
God: "Bam! Here's another 20" of snow. How you like them apples. You wanted to go over board on the shoes - now you're going to pay."
Me: "Darn, if I had just kept what I had, we would have had the driest winter on record."
God: "Ha!"
