she may not always be in the pictures, but you can be sure she's always on my head, or snuggling inside my shirt when i'm typing these posts, editing the pictures, making jewelry, etc. she's my BFF.next on the list: boots! back before treasure hunting in thrift stores was the cool thing to do (damn you, hipsters!) i could find cowboy boots all day, every day (is it wrong that i want to say eryday?), but not anymore. they are few and far between, and on the off chance i find a pair, they're not my size. i've done a lot of looking online, but without selling an organ, i can't afford most of them on a tight budget. but the clouds parted and my luck changed, friends, when i won this pair on ebay for $4 with only $7 shipping. that's only $11 for a pair of awesome cowboy boots in a small enough size to fit my dwarf-like feet! i was ecstatic.
thanks to one of my favorite crime-fighting fictional characters and his eccentricity, i can't see or wear cowboy boots without wanting to do a little dance, or a little new boot goofin', if you will...
Your parrot is adorable! As are you! Love those boots girl.
ReplyDeletethank you, lauren!
DeleteI totally know what you mean about thrift stores. Back in the day, I could find the most amazing stuff and for super cheap! Now everyone and their dog goes there and I can barely find anything unique and if I do, it's way over-priced. It ain't what it used to be, for sure,... y'all. (I'm trying to run with the cowboy boot theme.)
ReplyDeletehahaha, your comment cracked me up, and i love that you stayed with the cowboy boot theme!
DeleteI love Flojo! Love Love Love! and the fact that she is your best friend. I miss LeRoy. He used to crawl up and down my arm all day long. He was about twice as big as miss Flojo, and was bitey, but I loved the shit out of that bird.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have only owned cowboy boots once in my life. I wore them twice, and felt so strange I never wore them again. I like motorcycle boots and rain boots. But I think it's because im so tall, I just felt weird wearing them. But, those look great on you and I'm happy you beat the hipsters to them. There are no hipsters here, so we get all the good stuff. ;)
isn't leroy and african grey? he's a beautiful boy :) i bet you looked fine in cowboy boots, but i think you could pull anything off.
DeleteHe was a yellow breasted amazon. huge!
DeleteI HAD to click on this post as soon as I saw the title. I love that part of Reno 911! I agree with it being hard to find shoes that fit, especially at thrift stores. I can wear a youth size 4. Have fun New Boot Goofin!
ReplyDeletethat is probably my favorite clip from every show i've seen! running in a close second would either be, "i coulda did dat if i wasn't on my period." or, "and the installation is freeeee!"
Deletehaha, that is hilarious! you know how i always love when you have flojo in the shots... also, i really like your haircut, how did i miss this? lastly, i feel the same way about boots, i was so excited to find my tall frye boots at a thrift store, super score! and i LOVE reno 911, too flippin' funny!
ReplyDeleteyep, a foot of my hair is now being made into a wig at locks of love! seriously, boots just can't be beat.
DeleteOh my goodness, your little birdie doesnt even look real, she is so pretty. I have small feet too but not as small as yours although my sister in law can still wear kids shoes and she always has a hard time finding boots.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I cant believe the designer collections for Target actually go on sale in your area. I wish that happened at my target :)
i can still wear kids shoes, which a lot of other people think is great, but it really isn't, because they LOOK like kids shoes! i never understand why there aren't more people that want the designer stuff here, but it works out well for me!
Deleteyou are so cute! i love that gif of you! i have a hard time in general whenever looking for shoes at a thrift store. they are alway always sooo tiny! like size 5! who are these people with such small feet!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletexo,
cb
WHAT?! a size 5?! that's exactly what i wear, but all i can find is sizes 7-9! not fair!
DeleteScore!!!!!! I laughed myself silly when you cursed the hipsters! My brother joked that I was one the other day, I told him: firstly, I am too old to be a hipster, secondly I don't look good enought to be a hipster. But really to be labeled one isnt as bad as some of the other subcultures floating around where we live. You would just die if you saw the local peeps who dress top to toe in motocross/UFC branded clothing and drive trucks emblazened with the words "it's mine, not his!"
ReplyDeletetoni, don't think i'm a dummy, but i swear i didn't realize that people drove around in trucks in australia! but yeah, dressing in full MX get up? that's strange, especially because it's SO hot!
DeleteThose boots are too cute on you! And I love your parrot! I've been wanting a bird, something talkative or that sings, but my parents and boyfriend say no way :( Awww...

I know exactly how you feel tryna find cool shoes on a budget. I've been hunting for a while now. I'm sure you get tired of hearing this but Flojo is so so darn cute!

Yesssss!!! When I read the title of this post I gasped and realized I love you even more! Whenever Kevin and I buy new shoes we always do little dances (in the privacy of our home of course) and call it New Boot Goofin'.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I agree, hipsters totally ruined thrifting. And some other stuff.
i love flojo! i have always wondered what it would be like to have a bird. i love the mental picture of a bird snuggling with you.
ReplyDeleteaaaaaand that gif is pretty amazing.
