Another reason is because I don't like shoes. I love sandals and I feel a bit resentful when the weather turns in a way that makes sandal wearing unacceptable/unbearable. To combat this resentment I decided to try to find some shoes I wouldn't mind wearing. But shoes are uncomfortable things that tend to require other uncomfortable things like socks. My feet feel so smothered. Yuck. If anyone would like to assist me by recommending some comfortable shoes that will help me make it through the rest of the chilly weather I will be much obliged.
By the way, this little illustration is by the original illustrator of the series and one of my heroes, Pauline Baynes. I loved her work as a child and dreamed that one day I might be able to draw like her. She also did illustrations for the original Lord of the Rings and Watership Down. Awesomeness. She died in 2008. I hope when I get old I will look like she did. If you want to read some more about here you can go here.

I have fair weather feet too! Agree whole-heartedly that winter should be over after Christmas. I remember being confused as to why BYU called the JAn-April semester the Winter semester, until I lived through a winter that lasted that long. Ugh.
I totally agree on the shoe thing. I HATE shoes and socks and better yet, I hate finding matching socks and shoes for the kids!!! If you find a great shoe, let me know. I am a flip flop and bare foot kind of person.
Here here! Winter is of no use to anyone after Christmas is over. I mourn the first cold day I have to put socks on, and rejoice the first day I can go without them.
katy you are my soul mate. just yesterday i dug through boxes looking for my narnia series and, (much to the dismay of my beloved chacos), last week i actually broke down and went shoe shopping. of course, i didn't find any. shoes suck. almost bought a pair of clogs. i figure, i made it all the way through december without wearing shoes...i can make it through the rest of winter.
