These boots are made for walkin'
You know that was the only possible subject line I could use, right?
My friend H once told me that I'm "so shoe-y". I think this means that I tend to buy interesting pairs of shoes. Or something.
Anyway, one of the things I did this weekend while I was up in Chicago at the baby shower for little Mordecai or Buford* was to go to H&M (of course) and to Filene's Basement where I got an awesome pair of black rubber rain boots. I love them so much I've worn them two days in a row now. In fact, I think this whole outfit I put together today is pretty damn awesome. (Confirmation of my boots' awesomeness: on the way home from work today a guy shouted out "I love your boots" as I walked past. Score!)
I ran into MB and he said I looked ready for fall, and that with the colors I was wearing I could probably camouflage myself in the trees. Uh, that's... good. For when I want to stalk squirrels, I guess.
I've been having fun with Last.fm today. There's a plugin that lets it see what I'm listening to on my Yahoo Music Engine. I guess I'll have to turn it off if I listen to anything embarrassing. My love for Garth Brooks must remain a secret. ...aw shit...
Since Ashlee always posts the things she knits on her blog (and they're so pretty!) I thought I should post the frog hat I made for little Mordecai. There's a tie in to Kermit here, because this is the first Muppet Baby (my friends and I were known as The Muppets in college), but I actually think what I did came out looking more like Keroppi than Kermit. You be the judge. (And isn't my wooden cat from South Africa the perfect model?)
*No, Mordecai is not really the baby's name. But it's a boy, and the parents aren't telling the name until he's born. So until then, I reserve the right to call him Mordecai. Or Buford. On a related note, the onesie with a picture of Nicholas Cage that said "I'll be taking these Huggies and whatever cash ya got," went over big with Daddy. I think at one point he was almost crying, he was laughing so hard.

Comments:
a.) I love the boots. I bought some rain boots last fall that I got no end of use from, until it started to snow, and then it became painfully obvious that they were not warm enough for snow.
b.) Kermit Hat on Cat is so cute! Is that knit? It looks crocheted on my screen, but my screen is also really shitty.

I fixed the pictures so that they're bigger and link to even larger versions, so it should be easier to see details. Man, Blogger's image uploader is a pain in the ass!
Yep, it's crochet. Surprisingly, I don't actually know how to knit. I keep vowing to teach myself, and I have the needles and the Bust Stitch n' Bitch guide, but I never get around to it.
I hear Bust is going to come out with a crochet book next! The patterns in their knitting books are so cute that I have great hopes for the crochet one. It's so hard to find cute, hip crochet patterns.
