You Can Take the Girl...

....outta the South but you can't take the South outta the girl.

Nope. Not gonna happen.

Y'all know my feelings on shoes.

I. Don't. Like. Them.

So I wear my flip flops. A lot.

Today I had a meeting with the Machine Shop from hell. The folks that have made my life a living nightmare these past 2 weeks. Yesterday we prepped for it.

(begin sidetrack)

It's funny. The meeting to prep was my boss taking the opportunity to "council" me on how to behave in a meeting. :-) Seems he was a little worried that I might lose my temper. I let him talk and nodded. Meanwhile I notice the guys in the office bent over laughing. They could hear what was being said and recognized the humor in it all.

Anyway......as I was getting ready this morning I realized I needed to be a bit moe buttoned down than normal casual Fridays. So....I put on a pair of slacks, a nice button down black shirt and a green and black blazer. Spiffy. Oh, and my black flip flops. My toe nails are a lovely shade of plum and my toe ring is exactly where it belongs. On my toe.

You should have seen the face of our VP when I walked in. He was most impressed. Until he got to the shoes. But.....now a days EVERYONE is wearing flip flops. I wore them when I was out running stores in Florida for cryin' out loud. They are as much shoes as open toed sandles.

So this afternoon when we were all sitting around celebrating how well the meeting went I was asked about my shoes.

My Answer?

You can take the girl outta the South - but you'll never take the South outta THIS girl!!!!
