new kicks!

Category: dribblings

we all know i’m cheap. Mr. Fleegan calls me Jaimie the Jew. i don’t like spending money.

but today i figured out i needed a new pair of shoes. i’ve been taking Roxie to the park nearly every day for about 5 months. sometimes we only do one lap around the park. but on the days when my walking buddy, Jenara, walks with us we do like 3 or 4 or more laps. This is like, miles.

the shoes i’ve been wearing are 5 years old. they were new once, and then became my painting shoes, and THEN they became my lawn-mowing shoes. and now they’re my walking shoes? ridiculous. they (used to be white) are green/brown nasty and they’ve lost all hope of any foot support. they are an embarrassment to walkers/wildlife photographers/dragonfly hunters/reluctant birders the world over and i should be ashamed of myself for wearing them this long.

so today i treated myself to these:

they claim to be hiking sneakers. they’ll probably help me jump higher, run faster, and take awesomer pictures of hawks or something. i’m not sure if they have coyote repellent on them.
