I don’t even want to know the google hits I’ll get after this post

Behold the photo of the new shoes that you all MADE me get! Seriously though? I love them, almost irrationally so. I need to pick out all the outfits I have to wear them with.

However, as you’ll see in my photocommentary above, the tiny little problem with these shoes is that they are attached to my feet, which are attached to my ankles, which I’m afraid are turning into cankles. I wore a skirt to work today and for the first time in my life had a little freak out that my ankles were getting chubby (along with everything else). You know things must be bad when you worry more about your ankles than your thighs, right?

Before you all tell me I am going off the deep end, let me just say that I refuse to declare for the 49 frillionth time that I am going on a diet! because announcing it to the blog pretty much seals my fat fate. Instead I simply pledge to make a real effort to replace the bonbons with the mixed greens, if ya know what I mean.

Of course, right after I arrived home today announcing my newfound resolve to eat better, Andrew tells me he bought ice cream and hot dogs at the store.

I’m doomed.

**************

I have a very important Public Service Announcement for all who admit to loving deliciously bad TV. You must set your TiVos to record Tori Spelling’s new show, Tori & Dean: Inn Love. The show is downright fabulous. Of course it makes Tori look like the spoiled brat that she is, and yet she is also far more lovable than I ever imagined. I think she is really in love and her marriage is fun to watch. Plus, she ain’t afraid to admit to her doctor the world that she thinks she killed her unborn baby by having rough sex. (She didn’t, by the way.)

Donna Martin. Rough Sex. All in one 30 minute show. Like I said, you gotta watch! Tuesdays 10:30E/9:30C on the Oxygen Network.

  1. SUPER CUTE SHOES!!!

    Don’t worry about your ankles (which by the way are NOT cankles)…when you wear those shoes, who’s going to be looking at your ankles ?…they’re going to be checking out your ADORABLE SHOES!!! :)
    Thanks for the tip on Inn Love…I’ll have to check it out!

  2. I LOVE THE SHOES! I am so glad you got them, and now I want some too!

    I have fat ankles. My mom is the one who pointed this out to me, and she has pointed it out to me multiple times since. Thanks, mom. I don’t think you have cankles, but I know the pain of thinking you have them.

  3. First off: Not. Cankles. Cherry shoes v. v. cute and will be adorable with jeans, cute skirts, etc.

  4. Cankles? Oh hell no, you are a great many bowls of icecream away from those. They are gorgeous. Love ‘em!

  5. Thank goodness you gave into internet peer pressure because those shoes are awesome.
    :)
    MMM. Hot Dogs and Ice Cream.

  6. Cankles? Whatever!

    See? It’s good to take internet-advice sometimes. The shoes are fab! :)

  7. Love the shoes. I’m glad you got them!

    I also love Tori&Dean from the website you linked… she sounds like just as much of a hypochondriac as me! Plus I sort of love her. Yes, she is spoiled, but she’s not as bad as the rest of the 90210 crew. Im very confused as to why that site said her inheritence was only $800k though (I can’t believe i just typed “only” and “$800,000″ in the same sentence). I would have thought Aaron was worth about 90 billion times that. Was there a scandal that I missed or something?

  8. Jennifer - yes, there was some kind of scandal where Aaron cut her out of the inheritance entirely and then ended up giving her that “paltry” $800K. Oooh, I sound totally in the know…or totally pathetic :)
    Anyway, Janet! LOVE the shoes; they are going to go with just about everything too. And re: cankles? NO. In fact, that is so much a no, I will use my new favorite quote: “Oh, I DEFINITELY think not.”

  9. I love the shoes!! They’re so adorable.

    Are you SERIOUS about Tori & Dean??? That one looked too over the top, even for me, #1 Girls Next Door Fan. On your rec, however, I will be forced to check it out!

  10. Was totally set to comment on cankles and then got distracted by hot dogs and ice cream. ::sad::

    I don’t have cankles - but when I take a picture of my own feet, it totally looks like I do. HATE.

    I’m sure you so do not have cankles. Someone totally would have told you. bah!
    I knew a girl who’s ankles/legs looked like she shoved pillows into shoes. So sad. lol

    Anyway, to make a long comment longer - LOVE the cherry shoes. :D

  11. Firstly: LOVE the shoes!!

    Secondly: you have lovely ankles! I am kind of a self-proclaimed ankle-expert and you, my friend, have a very nice pair!

    Thirdly: I have a slight confession, I am terrified of my ankles… I actually won’t wear capri pants or mid-calf skirts because I am paranoid it will make them look and big and gross. I have been told by bonafide ankle authorities that there is nothing wrong with them, but I still am panicky about showing them in public. Sigh, we all have our quirks. :o)

  12. Very, very cute! And NOT cankles!

    I need to replace cupcakes with lettuce, too. Bleh.

  13. I’m glad you splurged on the shoes. You NEEDED those. I’m certain your ankles are as lovely as the last time I saw them - don’t worry :)

  14. SOOOO cute!!!

  15. Ha! I watched it last night and thought “geez I can’t admit to watching this to anyone!”

    My favorite part was when she thought she cooked the baby by taking a bath. :)

  16. I can not wait to see the adorable outfit you will wear these with. Yes, I am living through you!!!

    (Have I told you my sister in laws name? It is too adorable and I will have to tell you over e-mail. You will love it.)

    I’m not sure that I can watch Tori’s new show. But have you seen her brothers show? It is a TRAIN WRECK and these people are out of control.

    (wait, she only got 800k? That sucks balls.)

  17. Cute shoes! And you can’t feel guilty because the Internet made you do it.

  18. Those shoes are completely awesome.

  19. You have nice ankles, have another scoop of ice cream.

  20. Let’s move to CO and live nearby and Matt and Andrew could eat dinner together a couple times a week because that sounds like something he would buy. I am trying to eat healthier too and he’s still craving Chubby Hubby.
