Day 73 - The Next Casualty

Going on a spending ban is basically throwing down the gauntlet to one's possessions to see which can hold out the longest--to see how many of them must break before we cave.

Today's contender, the Goober Goggles:


The right lens has started leaking water--not too fast, but just enough to be incredibly annoying. Well, I might be willing to be seen wearing the Goober Goggles, but I am not going to be beaten by them. For 25 days, I can swim with my head out of the water.

Ha! That will show them, I'm sure. And totally cement my reputation at the gym as a total and complete goober.

Hi there,
First and foremost I want to say that I have been enjoying your blog for weeks now. I have my own blog and have included the link below:

http://tracy-optimisticallypessimistic.blogspot.com/

Often I will click on "next blog" after I update my own and I stumbled across yours. I love it. You guys are great. I even told my husband about your "ability" to determine what cat brought in something and whether or not it was still alive. As a total "animal" person I can appreciate something like that.

Often I will click on "next blog" after my own and I have come across a handful of fun and really sweet blogs...including your own.
Anyway...I finally got a chance to collect my thoughts and comment on your blog.

Great work...I hope you don't mind.

I have a pair of swimming goggles (speedo brand) that are well loved but never used. I used them a bunch in 1999-2001 while training for a triathlon, and have used them about 3 times since. They're yours (to keep, or on loan if you prefer) if you want 'em...send me an e-mail--

You don't have to be a goober!
