I’m a little late, but happy weekend.

(Don’t worry. You can watch it twice. It’s ok. I’ll still think you’re cool.)

Post number 900!

Simpleshoes.com is one of my favorite companies because they make cute shoes and have a very strong commitment to making sustainable, super cute kicks. I have a pair of their toe foo flip flops; they aren’t the best for walking more than half a mile at a time, but they’re perfect for when you’re going out to a not super-fancy but still nice dinner.

They invited bloggers/myspacers/facebookers/etc. to post one of the two youtube videos they made talking about their company. All who do are entered into six separate drawings, to win a free pair of shoes!

Here’s my entry. I hope you enjoy (it’s a little long) and are inspired to check out a pair of earth-friendly, totally cute shoes of your own.

P.S. they’re having a killer sale on summer shoes right now: if you buy them today they should be good until there’s snow on the ground, and then you’ll have them for the spring.

Happy weekend!

Ok, the bright flag was a bit much to leave up for several days.

I leave you with an excellent coke commercial.

This video was posted over at A Cup of Tea and a Wheat Penny, and I’ve visited her blog several times this week to hear the song, which almost sounds like something Jen and I would have listened to in high school, driving around in her blue Volvo.  I like the animation of this video, too.  It reminds me of 60′s television Christmas specials, which I like very much.

Happy weekend!
