Last year our change bought us a super-fridge. This year we're hoping to have enough for the ginormous HD flat-screen TV that we need to upgrade to.

We do have someone come in once a week to clean. Now that I've reached the goal, it's all downhill from here. My life goal was to have a housekeeper. We do have someone come in once a week to clean.

Bummer, right? I do better with VANS -- they must be squishier or something.

I have a weird aversion to the style, perhaps because they were "uncool" when I was in school. Not that I was really ever that "cool," but I seem to remember the kids who had them being beaten up, so that's probably what's left me scarred. Glad you achieved your dream; what life goal will you be tackling next? I've always wanted to get my advanced underwater basket weaving certification... Hmmmm.

Somehow they look... odd... in his size 14, so long and narrow they're distorted. I have never tried them, I don't have patience for hightops, but I have a pair of slip-on (floral-print!) Keds that are like wearing comfy bedroom slippers out in public. My eldest has a pair of Chucks he loves, B&W like yours.

I often razz her about having so many shoes... I have to reiterate that I can't <i>believe</i> how comfortable these things are. Really. I have no explanation for it. It's great.

For about ten years starting in 1982, they were all that I did own. (Black for formal occasions.) At one point I had pretty much every color they made. They are absolutely comfortable and give absolutely no support. I tell you this so you might exercise greater self-control than I did. The minute you post about your second pair, I'm calling you on the phone and asking why you haven't picked up your pizza. Don't make me do that. I don’t currently own any Chucks.

We used to buy white pairs and dye them funky colors. Back in the 80s... Ah, the memories. Congrats on the shoes. Yay! I love Chucks! We used to buy white pairs and dye them funky colors.
