welcome to my first installment of

Things Lauren Hates

i'm tired of happy things so lets get right down to business.

ladies and gentlemen, i present to you:the Chaco

no i dont hate my chacos, infact i am currently having a love affair with them.

they are on my cute little feet right as we speak. i dont go anywhere without 'em.

(im even getting the chaco tan line. nice.)

let me tell you what i do hate:

what i do it hate is when people pull on the straps.
cant you just leave my dang shoes alone? i would really appreciate it if you wouldnt touch them. sure i will let you try them on. i will even tighten up the straps for you and let you walk around the living room for a while if you want. but its not funny when you bend over while we're sitting around having a nice conversation and PULL THE DANG STRAPS.

no, but seriously. i know the straps were ment to be pulled. infact i do it quite often. (you have to clean out the dirt you know, and when i wash them (did you know you can wash them in the washing machine? mine get a weekly bath) i want the stuck inside part to come to the outside to get nice and clean) but please, i beg of you leave them alone while they are on my feet. there is nothing worse than having to walk around with unevenly tightened chacos. it grosses me to the the max. for real.

what i also hate is when people point and laugh at my feet.
are you jealous or something? because the only reason i can think of for someone to point and laugh at a lovely pair of these (Chuck Norris approved) heaven sent footwear is that they are jealous. jealous down to the bone. jealous that they dont have the comfort and security that only a pair of (toe strapped) chacos can provide. jealous that they cant go climbing over big bolders or through a muddy trench or to class all in the same day with out having to change their shoes. jealous that i got my chacos for half off. jealous that im currently bidding on more on ebay as we speak. just plain old jealous. so dont point and laugh and say 'youre one of those types?' becuase frankly, these lovely chacos are for all types. not just you and your funny looking mom.

i stand (sit) here today to testify of the goodness of a piece of footwear known only as The Chaco. so dont pull the straps or point and laugh or abuse the chacos in any way, shap and/or form. or i might have to result to the laying on of hands.
