Shoes really do motivate a person

I've been less lazy this week. I ran yesterday with Brian, then today I did 30 mins on the treadmill at the gym, and weights. Last week I said I would buy shoes if I ran twice (I think), and I actually only ran once, though in my defense I did go to the gym several times and use the cross trainer, so that should count. Anyway, I bought two pairs of totally cute shoes from Stein Mart. They're closing their shoe dept so everything is on sale. I view today's and yesterday's efforts in exercising as paying off my shoe credit, since technically I didn't deserve the shoes when I bought them. So nobody can say my shoe purchase wasn't legitimate :-)

In other news, Festivus was a huge success. The festivus pole had a new addition this year. A red light. It was warranted after last year's display of lude poses with the festivus pole. This year, two new feats of strength were added entitled penis envy, and sumo sammi, and of course, the traditional airing of grievances was done by all. Pictures from the Festivus Spectaculous can be viewed here. A big thanks to Mike and Tara for hosting. And mum, everyone loved the trifle -- I added Bailey's as suggested.
