Return to Blogland and Hiking Boots as a New Lease on Life

Procrastination and laziness

are one of my character

flaws.

I dropped off the blogging bandwagon when I returned from

Italy 2 months ago.

Every time I think, "oh I should blog..."

some other thought enters in like:

"oh, no, it's too late...YOU ARE WEEKS BEHIND!!!

how will you catch up now?"

Catch up to what?

So, when I couldn't answer that question to my satisfaction,

I decided, ok... just start anywhere.

So the big news today is:

I went to the foot doctor and FINALLY

after 4 months in the broken foot boot cast,

(yes, my foot has still not healed completely,

don't ask,

too long of a story...suffice to say,

I am 50% on the

road to recovery-I feel like I have worn the

Darth Vader boot

most of my life now)

to hiking boots and a metal brace yesterday-

HOORAY!

And

these cute Merrell Hiking Boots

even have FUSCHIA

accents-how good is that?

I have to say,

I had some help from above on this as

hiking boots

are normally a fashion nightmare

for this girl's aesthetic sensibilities.

If all goes well,

I will be sporting this

Northwest Great Outdoors Look

for another 2 months.

The Tumbleweed slips, dresses and Prada boots

are going to have to stay in the closet

just a little while longer...
