Peeking out from behind the curtain...

I know I was all, "Hey, come September 19th, I'm going to fly like an eagle and let my spirit carry me" and whatever.

But I'm here to tell you that Jeff just gave me these shoes:


When I wear these things, I suddenly want to feed the babies and shoe the children and house the people, Steve Miller!

I also wanted to tell you that this week (because my friend Robin (the birthday girl!) is full of good ideas) I'm opening up an Etsy store, where I will be selling knitted stuff. I'll keep you updated.

This month has been a busy one. And the new Fluid Pudding site will be kicking off next month! And holy crap! I believe I'm off to kick some ass with those new boots of mine! Watch out, Jim Talent!

UPDATE: My Etsy shop is now open. Obviously, it's a slow start up. Right now I have three vases listed. Next up? Felted bowls! And more vases! And baby hats! The possibilities are excitingly endless!

ANOTHER UPDATE: Well, it seems that my felted vases are actually lead balloons! This is a lie, but I've had 429 people send e-mails to me telling me how much they want to purchase the vases, but they're not quite yet ready to commit to a relationship with Etsy. If you want to work around making up yet another username and password, send an e-mail to me. We can dance under The Man!

    I don't suppose Jeff bought a second pair of those boots for the birthday girl because damn! Cute!

    Shoes are a good good reason to peek out. Especially THOSE shoes.

    Good work, Jeff.

    Those shoes totally rock.

    And I can't wait to see your stuff on the Etsy store. That's so cool!

    Please advise as to the source of those shoes. Without your fashion guidance, my feet are shod in the same old Ecco clogs as ever.

    And congrats on the Etsy shop! I think that's a fabulous idea.

    Can't wait to see what fabulous things you whip up! I need to add some more to my store - hopefully these colder months will get me sewing more!

    You had me at the boots!!
Submitted by Surcie at 10/24/2006 1:42:08 PM
    So cute!

    What is it you're wearing them with?
Submitted by javamama at 10/24/2006 2:52:38 PM
    Hey, what a lucky day to check in! But those boots are far too fabulous to touch the smarmy likes of Jim (no)Talent (Assclown). Yes, that's his real name.

    Love, your neighbor in the only blue county in the next state over.

    Surcie--Today I tucked my jeans into the boots (the style woman on the Today show told me this was a good idea!), and threw on a cream colored turtlenecky sweater. I received exactly one compliment--which is one more than I normally get. Success!

    you'd tell us if you were on battlestar galactica, right? cause i could have sworn that was you.

    also: i love the shoes. love them.

    Did you know that "spunk" is English slang for semen ejaculate? Pretty vases, but no spunk please, even if Jeff is cute.

    Fun fact #2: the English say "Happy Christmas" because the word "merry" has historical definitions related to the state of being "drunk." Not that there's anything wrong with being merry...

    Nice boots.

    Am I a loser because I don't know what an etsy store is? Yes? Clearly? Okay, I've been put in my place.
