my clodhoppers are hiding

where, oh where, have my clodhoppers gone...
where, oh where can they be?

*sighs*.... theres so much slush out there (i am not complaining, i love this weather like i do any other of God's weather simply because it *is* God's weather, so i think it's beautiful despite it's difficulties)... and i cannot find my clodhoppers....

... my great big size 11 purple snowmobile style boots. clunk clunk clunk.

and they are really what i need for today. my only other options are:

1. my faux-fur lined clogs - keeps the toes warm, and thick soles lift me up above some slush levels... but has an open heel, so no guarantees of staying dry... or,

2. my horrid 10-or-so-year-old extra-extra-wide $120 Toe Warmers velcro-flap boots, that are *not* warm, and outright leak.

and that's it.

why am i lamenting on my footwear woes? because 1. it's slushy out, and 2. i'm trying to get myself to walk to the once a year extravaganza 10,000 villages sale. to get my trinket, to say i've been there, get what will probably be my one christmas present to myself, and support a good cause.

i guess i'll go with the 'no guarantees of staying dry' footwear, over the 'outright leaky' boots. least there's some hope! lol
