Dogs and Cats

Today is Assistance Dog Day, International Cat Day, and Happy Odie Day, so today's shoe choices, at least to me, are obvious:

I just realized that the flip flops don't actually have Odie pictured.  Rude.  I always liked Garfield and Odie.  Poor Odie always gets picked on by Garfield, but he's such a sweet, dumb dog that I had to like him.  Which is kind of funny as one of the things I always disliked about dogs growing up was that they licked and Odie is a slobber machine.  Oh well.

In other news, now I have puppies and I actually like them.  I realize this is not news to those of you reading right now.

In other other news, once upon a time we had a cat.  The cat hated me.  The end.

In other other other news, it's Monday and I'm tired, and a little bit grumpy for reasons that may or may not be reasonable. I haven't decided yet.

Hot Chocolate

Facebook very helpfully reminded me that 2 years ago today I got pulled over for the first time in my life.  No ticket, but it definitely freaked me out.  3 years ago today I had sinus surgery.  I'm celebrating the anniversary with a sinus infection, but I'm trying not to complain too much because I now only have a couple a year instead of one a month.  So yay for my ENT with his hammer and chisel!  5 years ago today I was in Florida for a continuing ed event.  The event might have been quite helpful if I hadn't been in a horrible depression at the time.  I think I cried a lot if I remember correctly.

Tonight's shoes are about none of these things, though, because today is also National Hot Chocolate Day!  Yum!  And it turns out that there is something called Hot Chocolate Designs.

How cute are these?  I especially love this last pair with the cherries, but I'll take a pair of each, thanks.  You should go check out the site, they have a ton of different designs.  I'll be taking my lovely sinus infection to bed now, thankyouverymuch.

Lolly Lolly Lolly

Do you remember School House Rock!?  I watched (and loved) it as a kid, and then my mom bought the series on VHS so the nieces have seen them all as well.  The other day the hubby was singing Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs here, so it's been stuck in my head.  It frequently gets stuck there and I frequently sing it using all kinds of 2 syllable words:  Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Get Your Puppies Here, or Dragons, Dragons, Dragons...you know, whatever I'm thinking of at the time.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, here is the video:

Adverbs, as I'm sure you know, modify verbs, and often end in the letters ly.  So here are my adverb inspired shoes for you today:

Shoe is a noun, but shod is a verb, so your feet can be brightly shod.  All of the shoes in today's post are ones I found by typing in the adverb + shoes and seeing what popped up.

Your feet can be obnoxiously shod.  What the hell IS this thing?

They can be elegantly shod.  I like this shoe; it's going in my imaginary wedding closet.

Ooooh...your feet can be warmly shod.  These look so snuggly!

Baby feet can be happily shod.

There was a period of time when about 15 people shared these to my Facebook page.  Apparently they were either all dog lovers or they wanted my feet to be foolishly shod.

You already know that I'm a big dork, and now you know that I'm an even bigger dork and a grammar nerd, one who writes blog posts about adverbs.
