I don't even know, you guys

You know, earlier I was looking at my shoes and I realized they look sort of like Pilgrim shoes. Like, if I was going to dress up like a Pilgrim, and I could only use materials that I already owned, I would definitely wear these shoes. You might be asking yourself, "But Jennie, why would you ever want to dress up like a Pilgrim?" and I am here to tell you . . . I don't know. But I'm sure there are occasions to dress up like Pilgrim. Let's see. There's Halloween, for sure. I know Halloween is over, but it's never too early to start planning for next year. Or perhaps your family is totally weird and you dress up like Pilgrims and Indians for Thanksgiving. That could be fun, actually, but make sure it's accurate. After the Thanksgiving meal, you should kill a couple of the Indians by giving them smallpox or something. Just make sure one of your least favorite relatives dresses up like an Indian. That way you wouldn't have to listen to Uncle Bob's stories about his spastic colon at Christmas, and that's beneficial to everyone.

You know, I actually have dressed up like a Pilgrim before. We had Pioneer Day once in 6th grade and I realize those aren't EXACTLY the same thing, but I'm not sure my teacher knew that. I distinctly remember making Pilgrim hats, and then wearing a long, flowy skirt and a really uncomfortable button-up shirt, so no one would think I was a witch (read: whore) and burn me at the stake. That would be uncomfortable.

ACTUALLY, I think my shoes look more like witch shoes. Plus, I have on striped socks, just like the Wicked Witch of the East wore when she got crushed by Dorothy's flying house. And I'm sort of mean, so it totally fits.

Buckles + striped socks totally equals witch shoes. I think more outfits should be more like costumes.

Yes! I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to wear a cape to work.

So... this post is pretty much about how your shoes are ugly and you need new ones? Is this like a subliminal christmas hint for Joe?

In six years,Jeremy has never bought me shoes, and really not clothes either. Better that way.

It's hard to come up with stuff to write every day!

Watch out for flying houses while wearing those tights, eh?

I love wearing clothes that feel like costumes. Like I have this one green cropped sweatshirt that I only wear on the weekends. In my head, I'm totally a aerobics instructor.

Also, I have this football jersey that I wear when I'm watching sports so I can be a Fan.

I'm gonna stop now. I'm afraid I've said too much.
