hooray!
for some reason, for about 4 years i have really wanted a pair of boots.
flat, brown boots that you tuck your jeans into, or which look perfect with a skirt.
[granted i never wear skirts, but i have been working on that.]
i have regretted for 4 years not buying the perfect pair of flat, brown eddie bauer boots on sale for $70.
i talked myself out of it with some stupid reason like "i would hardly wear them anyways, so maybe i should spend the money on food."
well...if i am still thinking about them 4 years later, then maybe i should have caved.
so, last fall i spied these in a catalog:



but they were $170.
i was not about to spend 1/3 of my rent on them.
so i google shopped them repeatedly and watched the price drop, but never in my size or at a palatable price.
[and it was really easy to talk myself out of them.]
then they were on sale! for $114! in my size!
but i told myself no, there are better things to spend your money on.
and then they were gone.

and i regretted it.

yesterday i looked them up again, and they were back on the site in my size and i have enough tip money from sailing to afford them [tip money is designated for purchasing special things].

they are on their way.


yesterday i made lemony zucchini goat cheese pizza for dinner.
it was good, but i would not recommend putting half again as much cheese on it just because it comes packaged that way.
and i burnt the heck out of the roof of my mouth.
next up: zucchini bread!
