Happy Feet Friday 1-14-11

Yay, it's the Friday before a three-day weekend! And we have fun friends coming to visit for a day at Zion! And I only have to give ONE spelling test today (review week - everyone had the same oft-missed high frequency words)! And we're having enchiladas for dinner! And the antibiotics are starting to work and Mr. Mamie is finally starting to feel a tiny bit better after fighting with a hideous upper-respiratory infection! With all that goodness, my feet are VERY happy today!

First, we got some nice stripe-y socks:

 

And then some super-comfy Nikes, 'cause I'm sticking to my resolution of only wearing  super-comfy shoes to school:

Hope your Friday WAS great - that's WAS because I started this post before school this morning, got distracted while the photos loaded, and realized as I was driving home AFTER school tat I never finished and posted.... hahahahahahaha!!!

Happy Feet Friday 1-7-11

 It's time again for Happy Feet Friday (thanks to Kate at New Life!), and I'm pleased to be stepping out in my trail shoes today. I made a New year's resolution to ONLY wear SUPER COMFY shoes to school in 2011 - which means my friends Nike and New Balance and Keen and Columbia are all going to get to go to first grade!

As soon as I get through bus duty (twice), three spelling tests, editing kids' writing, some reading instruction, calendar time, a lesson on 3-D shapes in math, a lesson on "healthy eating," the chaos that is lunch, the additional chaos of "free time" for a good behavior reward, and a bunch of planning/prep/copying for next week I'll be back here on my couch, blogging away again!  I've got more recipe reviews and a new post on "This Week in First Grade" to share, plus who knows what else.


Have a GREAT Friday!

Another pair of Teva flip-flops - these are brown, with thick soles. The straps are metallic green print with brown flowers. I sure do love me some flip-flops... yay, warm weather!

Teva "Mush" flip-flops, with pink and aqua straps. Toes are still polka-dot! I am wearing aqua pants and a black shirt today, making me ever-so color coordinated.

Happy Feet Friday! 12/18/09

Last day before two weeks of winter break! I love being on an academic calendar. Actually, I don't know any other way to live. Anyway, very casual Friday for me... jeans, yay!

And, FESTIVE SOCKS...

...with comfy, slip-on cloggy-type shoes (Sonoma brand from Kohl's):

Happy Friday before Christmas!

The festive socks I wore under my boots to work today.

   The comfy shoes I put on as soon as I got home from work, which I then wore to The Walmartz, where I had to go to buy holiday baking supplies. The are black clogs by Simple that I got in Salt Lake a couple of years ago for a STEAL of a price. LOVE THEM! I have two other pairs of black clogs (shhhh, don't say it; I know!) and these are by far the best of the crowd.

LOVE these black boots from Nine West!  I got them last January (almost a year ago) while at a conference up north.  The heel had been in the process of breaking on my old pair of (cheap, crappy) black boots for several months, and my search for an acceptable replacement was growing a bit frantic.  These are SO wonderful - real leather uppers but with a rubbery bottom that resits snow and ice and salt, a heel just high enough that all my barely-too-long pants now stay off the ground, and SO COMFY! They go great with jeans or nicer slacks, which means that in the winter I wear them several times a week.

Happy boots, happy feet, happy Friday!

Happy Feet Friday! 11/27/09

Yes, I'm posting this on Saturday, but these ARE my Happy Feet from Friday!  :)  It's a two-fer: the socks and the "shoes."

Socks of the season!

 

My old, red, felty, comfy Old Navy slippers. 

Footwear of choice for the long weekend!

Happy Feet Friday! 11/20/09

I am totally stealing a cool weekly feature from Kate at New Life - Happy Feet Friday! I love shoes... and socks. So I think that I should be able to share them with the world (at least once per week).

These are my Merrell hiking boots that I got at a crazy store up north called Smith and Edwards, which sells everything from breakfast cereal to spare parts for helicopters. Mr. Mamie and I spent a very entertaining afternoon there a couple of years ago.

Here is a picture of Mr. Mamie sitting on a defunct missile, which you can purchase for yard decor if you are so inclined.   

I get to wear my comfy, sturdy, warm, supportive hiking boots to work today becasue we are all tricked out in our high school rah rah clothes - the Tigers play for the state 3A championship tonight, and there's a "tailgate party" in the board room at noon with yummy food and such.  So I figured I could get away with these happy boots, given the rest of my outfit (jeans, HS t-shirt, red-and-black paw print socks, paw print earrings... quite the fashion statement!).  My shirt is special though, because it has Nephew's football number (84) on the back in big, black print. That's been his number since 3rd grade, and will probably continue to be until he graduates.

Happy Friday!
