Minnie Mouse

I went back to H&M recently to look for a reasonably priced long winter coat (which I found).

While I was there I decided to also look for some tights (which I found), because John insists that I will wear my new dress in London, and it is cold in London.

Then I decided to look for some thick socks. My black boots are awesome at keeping my feet warm and keeping water out, but they give me blisters on my feet if I walk too far in them because my feet move around inside the boots just slightly. If I wear very thick socks with them, the problem seems to go away. Thus, thick socks. H&M sells socks. They sell lots of socks. But for some reason, the only thick socks they sell have Minnie Mouse on them. I decided that since the socks would be entirely covered by my boots, what was on them really didn't matter and bought them anyway.

I tried out the Minnie Mouse socks today. John and I walked into town today to see a movie (The Yes Man) and I wore my boots with the Minnie socks underneath. I did not get blisters. The verdict: Win!

and how did John's shoes do? I can't believe he is not getting a pair of boots to get through the slush. Low tops are an invitation for the slush to just leap into those shoes! Maybe they will have a pair of Mickey Mouse shoes for him. love you both, mom
