Wool Slippers and other marvels or "my fourth post"

so ever since my mission, where they dont have carpet, i am addicted to slippers. i love them and always wear them at home. and ive gone through many a pair in my day. but i have discovered the cadillac of the slipper world. wool slippers, and more specifically, Haflingers. oh my goodness. i was sceptical. see, i usually get those big compfy squishy slippers which are great for a while, but after a few washes, they get icky and flat and honestly my feet would always get too hot. but i still wore them. well, those of you slipper fans out there who have gone through the same trial, you need not suffer any more. it is amazing how wool makes for the PERFECT temperature foot. they are never hot or cold. and they are so comfy and sturdy and im truly in love. while im on the shoe topic, as far as flip flops go, ive got an incredible brown leather pair of flojos that i bought at hastings video in logan utah like four years ago (an impulse buy, dana and dan, that i have thanked myself for every single day!! so ha!) and they are still by far my favorites and look like new. i seriously wear them constantly in summer and they show no signs of breakin down anytime soon. so i highly recommend them. oh crap, i just somehow busted off the "0" button on my laptop and it now looks ridiculously white trash. crap ive had this laptop for like 6 years and hes my buddy. i cant bear to upgrade but i really dont know if i can tolerate looking at that big gaping icky naked button spot. i wonder if superglue would be bad. jeff, care to advise me? superglue is another one of those marvels i cant live without. it amazes me how it instantly just bonds things together. how do they engineer this stuff? and ive definately glued my fingers together more than several times. oh double frik, i just realized that the "0" button also houses the right parenthesy (how do you spell one parenthasie?) and i use it a lot. curses. when it was just the 0 it wasnt so bad, but parenthasee?!?! come on!!! well, thats all ive got for now.

Well, I would go out and get me some, but I am sure they are a bit out of my price range....am I right? Instead, I will just go out and get me a pair of isotoners and call it good. Oh, Nat, I am just waiting for the day when you have to think about purchases like the rest of us. Just kidding, I am glad you have found joy in such a simple thing.

PS- Every time I come to your site, Mason stops what he is doing and just lies there as he listens to that song by the ting tings, the DJ one. Then he resumes play when the next song comes on. Funny
