Ugggggg

My daughter asked for a pair of those oh so fashionable (umm, not really) UGG boots for her birthday.  (She is 11)  We had already sprung for the cell phone so she hit Grandma up for the boots.   $160 dollars later and me rolling my eyes to heaven and above...she was in those boots made for walking...lookin' saucy.  

Fast forward one month later...I had to run outside quickly and the only shoes available were the UGGS.  I put them on, found that they FIT me (scary her 11 year old foot and my 37 year old foot are the same size) and most amazingly they were the most friggin comfortable footwear I have EVER experienced in my life.   It truly was like walking on a cloud!  Soft, warm, squishy...oh yeah, baby....everything that they claimed to be.

So, I decide I am going to get my own pair of UGGs...even though I really do think they are sort of UGG-ly.  But whatever.....fashion vs. comfort?  Comfort can win out sometimes, right?  I do some research on the web and am about to plunk down the $160 for a cute little pair of Black UGG shorts.  Weeeee!  I am psyched.  Uh-oh.....just as I am about to click "place order"....I get called away from the computer to break-up a full-fledged lego fight.  Sigh, I never got to order the UGGS.  Well, funny thing happened.  I ended up wearing my daughter's UGGs the next day to run a few errands.  I went to bed and the next morning I woke up with a mega rash up and down my legs.  I am ALLERGIC TO UGGS.  WTF?  Who would have thought?  I've always been the "wool bothers me makes me itchy kinda gal"....but a rash after wearing sheepskin boots?  Mental.  All I can say is I am real glad that lego fight happened, otherwise my daughter would have ended up with a cute pair of black/short UGGS and I would be $160 in the hole.
