My first life-shattering discovery of 2010

I have been a doubter of a certain something for the past few years. Something that has taken the U.S. by storm . . . UGGS.

The college I went to became infested with these my freshman year, and I never really got it. They look kinda goofy, and really only "go" with a few outfits . . . I thought.

Lately my toes have been going a little crazy, and per doctors' advice it is of vital importance that I keep my feet warm. To do this I was instructed to find shoes and socks that are wool, not "that synthetic crap."

Guess what type of shoes meet the order? Uggs. (or the like)

A couple days after I decided I would go on the hunt for these silly things my mom texted me a picture (she's high tech like that) of a pair of Emu boots (Uggs identical twin) at TJ Maxx for $30—gotta love the Maxx.

I reluctantly gave the order to buy them, and a few days after that they were on my feet.

It only took a couple hours in my emus for my worldview to shift. I've been wearing these boots for practically 2 weeks straight! Never have my feet been so warm! I can go outside in these suckers with no socks in 5degree weather and my feet are still toasty.

It's not the biggest revelation in the world, but my feet are happy. And now I understand why everyone is always wearing these silly looking things and forking over $$ for them.

Told you it wasn't that interesting. But I was so happy about this I just had to share :)
