No, Really, I NEEDED them...

Okay, so. My trip to Montana to visit my Mommy is fast approaching and I am STILL working on my wardrobe.  I have decided I am on a mission. I am going to prove that you DO NOT have to look like ass and wear Crocs just because you're about to get on a plane. I'm sorry, but I am of the opinion that sweats are acceptable in public for one of two reasons: 1-You're going to/from the gym  2-You're on the cold/flu aisle in the Pharmacy. That's it. Done.  Crocs are a different story altogether. Crocs are a footwear atrocity. WHY would you wear ugly, shapeless, latex-covered FOAM footwear??  I'll admit, I own a pair of Croc flip-flops. I wear them to the beach, to work in the yard, to slip on when I take the Crackhaid Dawg out, and on the rare occasion that I have to run to the home store in the middle of whatever home project I'm in the middle of.  TWH & I decided we all needed footwear we could easily slip on & off while we're traversing the airports. This way we can avoid holding up the line removing shoes AND I don't have to either squat down or bend over with my ass up in the air retying my shoes after going through the metal detector. I decided I NEEDED two things for our trip. Converse slip-on sneakers and a new coat. This makes perfect sense to me. Yes, I own several pairs of perfectly good flats but they're not properly broken in and the airports are BIG. It would be blister-palooza.  I need sneakers for walking. TWH always says so. So I ordered these:



Navy blue slip-on Converse. Yay!!  Now, coincidentally, I have a pair of Converse for every day of the week. BONUS!!  Now I just need a new coat. I have my eye on this adorable pea coat...  This trip has been a boon for my wardrobe!!

P.S. Those ARE NOT sweatpants. They are grey pajama pants that I shoved behind the tongue of my sneakers so they would photograph better.

P.P.S.  I love how tiny my feet look when I take a picture of them while I'm standing up. They're actually HUGE.

Traveling Clothes

Okay, so. We will be traveling to Montana in late October to see my Mother become Ordained as a Deacon in the Episcopal Church. It's a big deal. We are going to fly (of course) and I have been giving some thought as to what I am going to wear through the airports. Most specifically, my t-shirts. I'm thinking about making my own so as to brighten up the day of whatever TSA agent is lucky enough to get to deal with me. Some of the things I'm thinking of having printed on them:
"Was it good for you too??" (Thank you to Kathie Truitt for that one!!)
"If this won't get me dinner will it at least get me a Venti Mocha??"
"You missed a spot"  
Last but not least...
"Call me!!"

TWH thinks I'm gonna spend a LOT of time in a little room being asked a bunch of questions.  I'm thinking "Challenge Accepted".
