SoleImpact Socks
I have a pair of these. I first ordered them back in March or April, and I didn’t receive them until August, because they were on backorder. At the time I purchased my pair (mine are black), they cost me about $20. I see according to website, the price has gone up to $29.95. It’s … Read more
Wool Is Awesome!
Wednesday I got to try out a wool jacket I bought off ebay. It’s a plus-size plum-colored Lands End 100% wool jacket. It’s beautiful! I wore it and even though it is thinner than my ancient fleece jacket, it kept me very toasty. So toasty, in fact, I ended up leaving the jacket open! I’m … Read more
Testing. Testing. New Shoe or Three.
Last week I was shopping at Grossme Outlet. (That’s what a friend of mine calls Grocery Outlet since they carry a lot of overstock stuff, close-dated food items, etc. It made me laugh, so the name stuck despite the fact that I adore G.O. for their usually low prices and weird selection. I save hundreds … Read more
Got Some New Shoes Today
Micah and I took the Max out to Clackamas Town Center today. We were on a mission. To get me some new shoes. Yup. That was the mission. Simple, really, since I have purchased the New Balance 1123′s from Jays Wide Shoes on Clackamas Promenade before and they keep my info in the computer so … Read more
Adventures With Shoes…In the Rain
The shoes I ordered from Fit Right NW came in, so I went out there to try them on. Getting out there proved to be a very wet endeavor, as I thought the bus stop I needed was much closer and it was raining. Then, I got off at the wrong stop, too, so I … Read more
A Black Toenail & It Ain’t Polished That Way!
The camera decided to autofocus on the moleskin and not the toe, but you get the idea. Poor toe! That black (dark purple, actually) nail is from it rubbing in the shoe the other day. It’s going to take a long time for that to grow out/heal. Sigh. I need some new shoes, stat. Still … Read more
Yep. I Need New Shoes.
I stopped by Fit Right NW to show them my shoes and try to find out why my feet are all funny in my shoe. I thought maybe my feet had changed, since they were slipping around more and I was getting injuries to the toes that I ordinarily didn’t get. I thought I would … Read more
Equipment Wish List
I’ve got some equipment at home, but much of what I have is designed for family or car camping. I need to get better lightweight equipment so that I don’t kill myself from the weight of everything I’m dragging along. Some walkers I’ve talked to have said they managed to whittle it down to about … Read more
Icicle Butt Syndrome
Yesterday I was outside almost all day working on a friend’s film project. The temperature didn’t rise above 36 degrees Fahrenheit all day, and I was cold. I made sure to wear layers, and my upper body did pretty well. But despite wearing long johns and extra socks, by derriere and hips froze. For some … Read more
