sporadic....hmmmm....i can live with that


so, really...did anyone notice the change in header but...yeah...
no new post for quite awhile?  (hi karen!) if you did...thank you for saying nothing. (ahem.) (^-^)
if you didn't? well....hmmmm...hey, there!!  how are you?  glad you're here.

so...according to that dictionary of the urban kind:
sporadic: 
1. Inconsistent; difficult to predict.

2. To be sporadic: Is to be random to a cooler extent

3. ocassional,not frequently happened

yeah....that be me in the blogging world.
(personally....i'm liking #2....randomly cooler, ya know!)

shall we carry on?


so....the rainy season has begun.
i don't know if you know this but from about a week ago and for a month or so (give or take a few days) the weather here is....sporadic.
sometimes, not so very much fun, at all.

a haiku:

rain....'tis the season

cool, wet, humid, breezy, hot


all of the above.

early, last friday, it began to rain.....and rain....and rain...until sunday morning, when we woke up to a pretty nice day.
and then....monday, more rain...tuesday was stormy in the morning (thank you, typhoon #4, which was passing by), but the afternoon was quite nice.
there was another typhoon (#5) headed our way, that was supposed to hit us early friday morning, but it was downgraded to a tropical storm and we're supposed to just get some rain in the morning.
possibly.
welcome to the rainy season, my friends.


**update to this as i wrote this on wednesday night....friday's weather:  
absolutely freakin' awesome!!!  sunny...breezy...cool with just a tint of humidity...a great day for a day off and for the laundry to dry!!!


during rainy season, everywhere i look, i see women wearing really cute and stylish rain boots.


and i'm sure that, if i remembered, when i go to the states i could probably find a pair, just as stylish and colorful that would actually be my size.
but...i don't.  remember, that is.
so, when it starts to get rainy, i make the annual trip around the shoe stores and pretty much, this is all i can find in my size:




yeah. no. huh-uh. sorry. no thank you.
oh, i'm sure they would work but just looking at those make my feet start to sweat...and i don't like that.
plus, really....fashion-wise, oh no....for a teacher,
they got "glamour don't" written all over them!!


so, this is why i would like to introduce you to


"the plastic shoes i didn't mind spending $40 for"

yes, my friends...these are crocs.

don't get me wrong, i like my regular crocs
(the pink ones with some very cool hawaiian accessories on them), but...when i'm in my 'teacher clothes' (which means 'no shorts'...usually), i felt i needed something a little nicer.


now, i know that these are not exactly what one would expect in a "rain shoe"....no, they don't cover the whole foot....
yes, there are little air holes in them.....but...
1. they are super comfy
2. they dry very quickly
and
3. i always have a towel in the car...i can dry my feet if i have to.


by the way...these are the CrosMesh Hover Skimmers....and i'm thinking of getting another pair in pink!!!


so, last saturday, when issei and i were walking in the downpour and the water was almost to our ankles for part of the way?
no prpblem.
none. at. all.
i love it when the stress level of my day is less.


**********
you know...i just thought of something....what if....IF...i had a friend...OR TWO...who were way creative with sharpie pens.....could i throw them a challenge to help make those green boots "debbie-worthy"???
heh heh heh......
