HATE strangers bumping into me, especially with their grocery carts...v funny about the Crocs (and your mom buying some). That Adidas commercial is AWESOME! Totally inspired me to watch the Olympics this year - thanks for sharing. I'm going to link to this in my blog.

And she lived in a 400 sq. foot house.<BR/><BR/>As for Crocs... In college, I thought Birks were the ugliest creations a shoe cobbler had ever created. I couldn't believe anyone would go out in public in cork-contoured house shoes. Crocs were one step down from them. But now that I have heal problems, the CrocRx shoes I have are exceedingly beautiful. Pain free is beautiful.Jen in KShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502943828675959065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-76250408426529050422008-05-17T06:59:00.000-05:002008-05-17T06:59:00.000-05:00i'm with you on the crocs!! why why why!?!i'm with you on the crocs!! why why why!?!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457456033636248158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-48517721448929855942008-05-15T14:27:00.000-05:002008-05-15T14:27:00.000-05:00Nope.
