inspirational crocs.

I clean and work in the camp kitchen wearing Crocs. It's true, there is nothing like a rubber shoe, in my opinion, to clean in. When mysterious liquids leak out of trash bags onto my feet, no problem- I've got anti-microbial rubber that it bounces right off of. They never smell and I don't have to tie them (I hate shoes that tie, so restricting...) but, you have to know while I love wearing them to clean/work in the kitchen, I do realize that they look like muppet feet. I mean, they are wide rubber shoes that usually come in bright colors.

Anyway, you may recall when I tried to wash my Crocs in the dishwasher. They shrunk nearly two sizes. It was kind of a sad day. I remember thinking, these are the perfect cleaning shoe! Yet, I feel silly buying another pair!

Kaley came to my rescue and bought me a new pair of lilac Crocs (which now have a sheen of black and silver spray paint on them), I was so thankful for my new pair and I wear them all the time (to work, of course). My new muppet feet came complete with a daisy Jibbit. You know, those little things that you can stick in the holes of Crocs. Football team logos, letter, fairies, flowers, Disney characters, you name it and you can stick it in your Croc.

Now my friends I have a new, possibly marketable, Croc accessory. Since I clean in them all the time, my friend Beth felt that I needed some inspiration on my shoes. After a busy day yesterday, I was procrastinating cleaning one of our dorms and Beth helped me along. With inspirational and motivational labels on my Crocs, I felt I could conquer any building. Who needs Jibbitz, when my Crocs help me to "believe and achieve"...

If anyone can "achieve and believe", it is you my sweet Tara! Go Get 'em.

Does this mean the label maker came in?

You should definitely contact Crocs with this new idea. It is a seller!!

There's nothing like wasting quality work time in the office. This still makes me laugh out loud.

I'm upset that Beth's labels upstaged my twinkie dink or whatever it is you called it.
