Today, it is in the 40's here...now, that's not as cold as many of you are enduring, but still. I am amazed to see students walking around in these:
While wearing this:
Does that make as little sense to you as it does to me? Yes, you are keeping the heat from escaping through your head, but now it is just leaving through your feet? Maybe I am just too cold-natured to understand. I definitely love my flip-flops, but January doesn't seem like an appropriate time to wear them, unless of course it's 70 degrees like it was last week...and then I still don't like to "look" like summer when it's winter.Anyway...on another note WEG and I are going to dinner tonight which may not sound so exciting, but we rarely go out to eat unless it's with a group of people. We either eat at home or get takeout most nights and when we go out to eat we meet up with people. But I asked if we could go to dinner just us tonight, so we are. It's nice to get out of the house and have a date night every once in a while, so I'm looking forward to it!
I think we'll be going to:
Normally I'm not a huge fan of chain restaurants, but I have been craving Outback lately, so that's where we're headed. If it was a big occasion, I'd ask to go to Mr. Friendlys, a local restaurant that you need to try if you are ever in Columbia (I would include the link, but it's not working properly):
This is, hands down my favorite restaurant in Columbia, and WEG and I go a good bit for lunch- the prices are much more reasonable and their daily specials are to die for! But, I digress...Outback it is tonight for "no rules, just right." (I did not mean to rhyme).
Mmmm...now I'm craving one of their yummy salads, steak, and a loaded baked potato. Can you hear my belly growling??
ReplyDeleteI'm guilty. I wear rainbows in below zero weather with a northface jacket. I don't really know why though. lol! And I'm sooo craving outback now!
ReplyDeleteOh I love chain restaurants. Oh how I miss them!!! Seriously there are some days where I would give my right arm for Olive Garden or Outback. Have some cheese fries for me!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with college kids and their willingness to wear flip flops in all types of weather? Are they that out to lunch? Is it a statement of rebellion? Lazyness? Did I do this in college? hahaha...bless them!
ReplyDeleteI'm guilty too...and I graduated two years ago! ha! I always wear my Rainbows...regardless of the weather! :)
ReplyDeleteI totally wore flip-flops neary every day when I was in college. I'm in Seattle so its not frigid, but even when it was cold and raining I could be found in flip-flops. Love them!
ReplyDeleteThere was no way I was wearing flips flops while walking around campus today! My Uggs are the only shoes I'll be rockin the rest of this week while Columbia is going through this cold freeze!!!
ReplyDeletethis post makes me miss mr. friendly's. it was my favorite restaurant in cola. i went to school in virginia and people from up north would always wear rainbows, even in the snow. i would personally gear up in ll bean rain boots to keep warm. i am also weird about eating at chains, bc i always want to try something new and unique. but some are irrestible. and i was so happy when grouchos and mellow mushroom moved their chains to spartanburg. now if we can only get 5 guys.
ReplyDeleteMr. Friendlys is one of my all time favs! Hope you had a nice dinner with WEG.:) Oh, and I remember people coming to class in rainbows when it was FREEZING outside while I was at USC. CRAZY!
ReplyDeleteMr. Friendly's is our favorite, too. I had my first big night out since finding out I was pregnant last week and that's where we went. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteYesterday morning the low here was in the teens, and I saw people wearing Rainbows and shorts! I completely understand loving comfortable footwear since I proudly rock some Rainbows when it is warm but it was just WAY too much for me!
