Confession of envy ...

Ok, so I am admitting that I've had a serious case of envy toward a good friend for quite a while. I'm not envious of her job (although she has a kick-*ss job) and I'm not envious of her husband or family (while both are quite awesome). I've had clog envy!

My friend Carole has a couple pairs of Dansko clogs. Every time she wears them I get a little bit greener. Last time I think I may have drooled on one, just a little bit.

I've been saving my money to buy a pair of my own. I got $100 from a bank meeting that I attended at the beginning of this month and told my hubby that once I had enough, I was buying my clogs. Imagine my surprise when, on Mother's Day, I got a coupon for my clogs!! Yippee!

I immediately scoured the internet for the best deal and ordered them. Each time I'd receive an update from the website, I'd jump for joy! 'Your order has been processed' ... OMG, my clogs are ordered!! 'Your order has been shipped' ... OMG, they're on their way!! I checked the tracking information daily (ok, sometimes more than once) and was entirely frustrated that it took so long for them to travel from Oregon to Massachusetts.

Yesterday morning I checked the tracking info and saw "OUT FOR DELIVERY!" I squealed so loudly that the dog thought I was in trouble. I haunted the windows all day, waiting for that distinctive brown truck to roll down the street. Imagine my dismay when it came time to leave for league bowling and my clogs hadn't arrived. I was one sad, shoeless woman. I think the UPS man was waiting to see our car leave before he delivered my package!!

The package did arrive, and I ripped the box open upon arrival at home last night. Ahhhhh, true clog love!! Of course I'm wearing them today, but I refuse to go outside in them since it's yucky out. Here they are, in all their cloggy glory :)
I think I've satisfied my clog envy. At least for now.

They are awesome and I'm glad you have your own pair now. I'm tried of having to clean the drool off of mine. Also, no one has ever considered a librarian's job kick ass. Just sayin.

Well Tuesday when I was at Shields MRI in Brockton the maybe a nurse had me on the interview room getting all my history and blah blah blah....I should have had other pertinent things on my mind like how the heck and I going to last over an hour in the tube and what if I have to go pee but no I pipe up and ask her about her shoes. She says Dansko. OMG they were the cutest black clogs. She said hey were $$ but she didn't care because they were so comfortable. I'm getting the feeling that I need a pair. Wonder what that MRI had to say.

Oh, I love them! I might have some of my own clog envy now. At least you know I can't drool on yours all the way from Texas. They are Super CUTE!
