Awesome comes in many forms. Today, Awesome comes to us in the form of boots. Vintage, 20 year old, Miss Capezio Butterfly boots to be exact. You see, I've wanted a pair of these for a long time...only I'm much too poor and can't afford the asking price of vintage cowboy boots that haven't been made in 20 years. Anyway, I recently found a pair on Craigslist in Lubbock, TX of all places and the lady really had no idea what she was holding on to. I felt like I was stealing from her...excellent condition, my size, my kind of price, but other people's ignorance really isn't my problem. So I sent her paypal with a grin on my face, happily paying the extra $2.50 she wanted to charge me for gas to go to the post office (what the hell, really).
Yesterday was such a gloomy day here in Salt Lake. The world got a little better for me when I pulled into the driveway after work and there was a boot sized box sitting on my doorstep. I hurried to open the box, like a little kid on Xmas and, I was not disappointed. Awesome hardly describes them and they fit really well. They were meant for me.
So, of course, when Garrett got home from work, I had them on. I cooked dinner in them, I watched tv in them, I really never took them off except to get in the hot tub and when I went to bed. I asked Garrett if he was going to be embarrased if these boots are all I wear from now on, with everything. He said he'll just worry about that if it becomes an issue. Well get worried Garrett, a life of embarrasment is ahead of you.

wow, this is too weird. First of all, yes the boots are awesome! :-)
Secondly, I don't know if you remember but when I first "found" your blog and left a comment I told ya I grew up in TX too....it was Lubbock to be exact! So I just had to leave another comment....which is a kinda pointless comment I guess. But still kinda cool, perhaps, in a weird way?
I love those boots......I would totally wear them.
Story about Isaacs shoes, I bought them vicariously for myself! I love those shoes so much I wanted to buy a matching pair, Jason said it would be creepy so I bought a black pair instead......he he he.....I wore them to his school on Friday and the teacher immediately noticed we were wearing the same kind of shoes. PS: Isaac loves them too, he wore them to bed the day I bought them....he is totally ME!
Cute boots! They are so you Britt!
