I Was Hoping for Moonflower...

Arrggh! Me Booty!_

"I love to freak out salespeople. They ask me if they can help me, and I say, "Have you got anything I'd like?" Then they ask me what size I need, and I say, "Extra medium."” ~ Stephen Wright

It started innocently enough. This morning, we headed to the Gardener's Supply Outlet in Williston because we had a "Take an Extra 20% Off One Item" coupon (that we forgot - doh!).

Usually, I don't see anything of interest in the outlet, in that it is stocked with mostly ornamental fluff and schwag for ladylike gardeners more interested in lawn ornamentation than growing something useful, like, say...food.* That said, we went in looking for a light timer and came out with these babies instead: Newbogs

I couldn't resist! They were 25% off of an already marked down $49 sale price making them $36 vs  $85 retail. Ignoring that this price is the equivalent of a whole extra APS system, I justified aloud through the process.

"Remember how I have wanted them since I first spied them last spring?" I asked Robert.

"My Wellies are too tall for squatting, and my clogs are too open for spring planting." I told the cashier.

"Sometimes women just need shoes." I mused silently.

Mea culpa... at least they're good for my sole(s),

*a little judgmental I admit, but if the shoe fits...
