Every once in awhile, I think to myself “When I turn 30, I’m gonna stop eating so much crap and eat healthy.” And then I laugh, and order my fries, and think “who am I kidding?”
As I mentioned here, today marks one year since we met AJ for the first time. We’ll be celebrating our anniversary as a family this weekend… as it was a whole week of exciting things. Our first meeting, the day he was officially placed in our arms and the day he flew to America.
In some ways, I cant believe its been a year already. In other ways, it feels like forever. I’m not going to lie and say I dont remember what life was like before AJ (I clearly remember sleeping 9-10 hours straight and sitting on the couch watching TV for an entire Saturday) but I am being honest when I say its been well worth the trade. Sleep and TV have nothing on that boy’s smile.
Happy Anniversary to us!
Yes, I’ve been gone for awhile. And what was important enough to bring me back? Crocs.
I’m rethinking my decision on Crocs. Like many trendy things, I scoffed at Crocs when they first became popular. According to Wikipedia, they’ve been around since 2002. My main issues with them were their style, I’m not a clog kind of girl (the only exception for wearing clogs should be, well, clogging) and I wasnt interested in wearing shoes made of plastic.
Years and years have gone by, and I’ve remained uninterested in Crocs. Until recently, when I started noticing that they were getting cuter. First came the Mary Jane style (which is still a little too clunky for my taste) and now they have some that dont even look like they are made of plastic.
Over the weekend, a friend of mine came over and slipped her new Crocs off. Out of curiosity, I asked if I could try them on. Having never had my feet in a pair, I felt it was wrong to hold that whole “plastic” thing against them. Even a size too big, they were super comfy. Squishy, but supportive. And, according to her, they claim to be odor resistant and she has yet to sweat in them, even in the past weeks heat. Not sweating in plasticy shoes? Impressive.
And so, maybe I’m okay with Crocs. I might even buy a pair. After spending some time on their website, I was most impressed with the pricing. $30 is the average price. That’s reasonable. (Unreasonable would be that a pair for AJ would cost the same!).
Here are some that have caught my eye… I’m most impressed by the sueded shoe (though it is the most expensive) and pleased that purple is a color option for many of these (though its a bright grape and probably wont match many of my purples). What do you think? Should I take the plunge and buy a pair?

Well, it took me all day, but I just wanted to point out that I’ve been blogging for 5 years now. How crazy is that?
Work has been extra busy lately… but I had an extremely lazy (3-day) weekend to make up for it.
In other news:
What do I have to do to get you to watch “So You Think You Can Dance?” this season? Cause I’ll do it. But really, there’s no reason not to watch. It’s GOOD reality TV. And now that regular shows are ending and summer is near, you totally have room in your schedule for a little dancing.
The premiere is tonight. Like American Idol, it’ll be a couple of weeks of try outs, so you get to see some awesome dancers and some horrible attempts at dancing. Highly enjoyable (and you’ve probably already seen this guy face-plant. ouch). Come on, thats good stuff! (but let me apologize for the judge Mary Murphy. I admit she’s a bit much. I give you permission to use your fast forward button).
Tune in tonight!
