Sometimes I get crazy and surf the net. I caught a big wave last week that took me to my new friend Emily Anne's blog where she was singing the praises of her pink frilly skirt. If you've read my chronicles here on cjanerun.com you know, that I know, the joy of a perfect pink skirt. And so you also know why Emily Anne is my new friend.
Just yesterday morning I was shuffling around the house in my undies and discussing with Chupa where I wanted to trade money for a burrito that afternoon. As I decided on El Azteca, the door bell went like this: ding! Our doorbell doesn't: ding-dong! It just: dings! And that is okay with me. I mean, I am at peace with that.
Because I was in my undies and all, the Man of the House had to answer the door. And I was hoping that it wasn't ANYONE trying to sell ANYTHING because NOTHING makes Chup more irrate than that. He made a sign. He has a bb gun. He gets a little ruthless (my apologies to Ruth.)
But instead it was my new shoes! My new shoes! To chase away the blues! Clearing of any bad news! Specially whilst in my underoos! The Councilwoman bought me them two weeks ago but Nordie's wasn't "in to" carrying my size. So I made "an order." Every girl knows that the you must bond with shoes immediately after you take them home. So I put them on and we took a tour of the house together. "This is the bathroom, where we'll come to apply make-up and use q-tips." And we met Chupa who said, "I am Chupa and I have a groping problem." (Which I didn't think was appropriate.)
After the three hour tour it was burrito time so I dashed into my room to get dressed. Hmmmm. Nothing looked appetizing to wear. Then I saw something flash out of the corner of the plastic spring/summer wardrobe bin. Pink skirt. Pink skirt! When I brought her out, she looked so refreshed from her six month hibernation. Just lovely. Then I finished the whole ensemble with, get this, a shirt that Azucar gave me last year, because when that girl has clothes to give away I LINE UP and yell ME! ME! PICK ME!
And because I am like Angelina Jolie, after I buy something new, I like to have pictures taken of me bonding with my new-found prize. Then I sell them to People magazine for MILLIONS! The proceeds of which will go to my favorite charity: Outlaw Bluetooth Usage Organization. They aim at making the world less awkward for us all.
After that I had a burrito.
After that I chips and salsa.
After that I peed my pants playing Lazer Assault with my family for Family Home Evening.
(Oh what? Like you've never peed your pants from laughing at your Dad running around trying to maneuver into small spaces in the dark with the Stars Wars Soundtrack blaring in your ears?)
Girl. You haven't lived.

Love the skirt, luuuuuv the shoes, love the burrito, love that you and Angelina are so in sync. Loves all around.
I LOVE my white (sorry,not it's not pink), spring skirt. I wore it Sunday and OH! the compliments.
The shoes are fab, craving one of those burritos (been out of Utah for TOO long).
Okay, that was really funny how you compared yourself to Angelina Jolie. You have a gift my friend!
(Love the shoes!)
Those shoes make me covetous.
That's cool that your dad is hip enough for laser assault.
"groping problem"...that chup!
I'm sure Ralph's been taking notes.
I think we bought the same shoes perhaps from the same Nordies, and yes they had to be sent to me because they were out of my size too. Shoe karma!
They are fabulous, however I don't think I will wear them until AFTER the blizzard of 2007....:)
well, i don't know what good turn I did in any of my past lives to deserve to be featured on cjane's blog...but it must have been something really, really brave and noble :) wow! my pink skirt and I are incapable of expressing our gratitude.
Cette chemise est adorable. Vous semblez meilleur dans elle que je.
Do you ever have shoe remorse? I bought lovely springy, cute-girl shoes, and feel goofy wearing them. Remorse? Old age? Not the right color nail polish?
I wore them! I talked to them! I did the work!
WHAT???
You my friend, are style personified! When ever I'm shopping I like to ask myself WWCJD? What would CJane do? It has helped many-a-time. :)
Please wear that same outfit on Thurs. so I can see it in person. Thank you.
Oh. I thought you said after that you had Chup and salsa.
I am so sure that your pink, frilly skirt is telling the new shoes this very instant (as well as the other new additions in your closet) just how lucky they are to be owned by CJANE!!!
That they too will be spreading love and joy to you so that you in turn may spread that love and joy onto others.
The outfit was very fetching! Very fetching indeed.
Chup is lucky that DCFS (Department of Clothing and Footwear Services) doesn't come knocking on his door.
I am so totally going to post a photo of my in My pink skirt for you before I outgrow it....which is pretty much by next week. ;*)
i want those shoes, i want those shoes
did you say OUR mother bought you those...OUR mother?
Mother, i want some,
love your favorite daughter
PS i am size 8 1/2
AND...
that comment about Dad running around was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo freakin awesome. I totally pictured it. Man i miss out
NIE NIE-
You and Mr Nicolas look so very much in love with each other!! I can't wait to hear about your new house. How is it that you Clark girls can look so comfy in skirts? I just look like I'm about to go to church in my wool (read itchy, hot)dress even when it's made out of cotton.
Those shoe are perfect. Loooove them.
And also, you and your whole family are stinkin cute.
C-dub, I call that the perfect comment.
(And cjane, you look fabulous.)
LOL, I love em'. How sweet of your mom.
Oh and pink skirts are very fun, I think I should go out and get a new one... thanks for the inspiration missy ; )
Glad you had a nice FHE, too.
Very cute. This entry is funny. I, too, like the Angelina Jolie analogy. Clever.
Um...what is it that you have against Bluetooth?
Welcome back pink skirt!! We can see where all you Clark girls get your great taste. You need to introduce those shoes to Stephanie's new coat.....
cjane, you delight us with two adorable pictures of you two days in a row. Two delightful posts, two days in a row. U R the Blogging Queen!
I would like a man to blog-swap with you (perhaps the Jolly Porter or Chup himself)to explain to us women folk why men grope. I simply don't get it.
Those shoes are sexy.
those shoes are amazing! i love them! what size are they? did you wear them to lunch? and why not?
I love, love, love, love, love, LOVE, those shoes. Sooo cute. I do love the pink skirt, but the shoes make it five million times more loveable.
Are you looking for people to volunteer for your anti-Bluetooth organization? I have slogans:
~Who are you talking to?!
~Just who do you think you are?
Or even "You talkin' to me???"
(Based on a recent experience I had in the aisles of Macey's with a Bluetooth Zombie whose eye contact and sort of generic conversation fooled me into embarrassing myself by smiling back and offering a reply.)
In defense of bluetooth, as 'work anywhere' employee, bluetooth is a way of life.
I don't leave it hanging in my ear like some Star Trek geek, insert it when needed, I do make sure that my hair is pushed aside so the 'device' is visible else I look like I am having an animated conversation with myself rather than with an IT exec in Singapore.
It is freeing for me....and no I don't consider it some sort of badge of honor!
and I generally wear a cute skirt and shoes whilst using the bluetooth of course!
Leslie J, I have no doubt you use style in your Bluetooth-ness.
I have had so many of the same situations that CW spoke (typed?) of. Like I could be having a serious discussion about, I don't know, say my trouble with gonherria (just an example) with a Bluetoother. I never know when, just as I am discussing the most sensitive part of my personal tragedy and that Bluetoother is going to say "HELLO? GARY? Yes, thanks for calling me back. Did Jan work those numbers?"
Aye. You just never know. Awkward.
I don't really have gonherria. Hell, don't even know how to spell it.
CJane, I am a big fan(regular stalker) of your blog and actually just wandered over to Segullah. I have been trying to avoid finding more blogs to check everyday.
I just wanted to say you are one funny girl. LOVE your blog, LOVE your shoes.
c jane is it TRULY adviseable to use the words 'HELL' and "gonnorhea" in the same sentence the week of General Conference? Is it???? :)
I just got new shoes from Nordie's too! and did that very thing...gave them a tour of the house! The lady I nanny for bought them for me which seems to make it a lot more fun! there ain't nothing like a new pair of shoes...and yours are darling!!!
CJane, You(and your family) are seriously funny (is it possible to be seriously funny?) and endearing. You folks are making me rethink my stance on cloning (you could park a set of the clones up here where I live) The world could use a whole lot more of folks like you. For the moment we can all just be uplifted (and entertained) by way of your blog. Just keepin it real.
Oh Dear-me! This is my second time reading this post, (uh, yeah, I do have better things to do...I'm just not doing them :) and you are SO dang funny :) maybe I'll start reading all of the posts twice, they seem to get funnier with each read.
this was so fun to read because emily and her cute henry used to be in my ward! very fun to see your blog emily!
(lindy from maple lane)
You are hilarious.
