I got a pair of Keds for Christmas. Wanna see?
I know, right? My very own NGIP shoes! Woo hoo!
What about you? Did you get cool stuff for Christmas too?
Okay, good - now that that’s over, it’s high time you thought about gearing up for Christmas. Of 2010.
Why? Because if Rite Aid’s behavior is any indication of this nation’s priorities, we need to act now to stay ahead of the curve.
On December 21, 2009, which some of you may not know, is approximately four days BEFORE Christmas, Kim Tracy Prince (of House of Prince) tweeted the following:
On December 21, mind you. You know what this means, right? It means that in June of 2010, they will be taking down Thanksgiving decorations and putting up Christmas stuff. And that means that on December 20th of 2010, they’ll be putting up Christmas decorations again and some loser might say to the blue-aproned employees at Rite Aid, “Wow, this is so nice that you are only just now putting out the Santas and the Christmas music, so we don’t have to be bombarded by it all for two months beginning in October.”
And the oppressed drugstore employee (who’s still pulling staples out of his head from the previous holiday decorating debacle) will say, “Oh, this isn’t for Christmas now, it’s for Christmas of 2011″. Which he will pronounce “Twenty Eleven” instead of “Two Thousand Eleven” because the National Decorating Committee at Rite Aid has been pronouncing things using “Twenty” for awhile now. In fact, they just finished their meeting this morning discussing the “Twenty-Fifty” 4th of July holographic mobile hangings that will automatically and digitally convert into Four Leaf Clover mini-Hovercrafts for St. Patrick’s Day of “Twenty Sixty”.
In other words, if you want to see the future, shop at Rite-Aid.
Oh, and I’d like to wish you a Happy New Year, but I don’t know if I should be sending out salutations for 2010, or 2011.
Hey, remember that video game I wrote for? Coconut Queen, from iWin Games?
Well, it made Gamezebo’s Best Picks of 2009 list - yay!
It’s not too late to write a blog post about your New Year’s resolutions and then link it up on NGIP’s Resolutions Party Post. Also, MamaKat from Mama’s Losin’ It, is hosting a link up for New Year’s Resolutions at her place, so you get TWO linkups for the price of one! After you link up, be sure and visit other bloggers on the link list.
Oh, love the Nanny G sneakers!
Congratulations on the best pick of 2009 for the Coconut Queen. And let's all boycott Rite Aid shall we? Capitalism…ugh (gurrrr).
btw….is it too late to post a link about resolutions? Because I created an entire blog for the weight loss/healthy lifestyle changes my husband and I are doing.
Of course it's not too late. Knock yourself out!
I think there should just be 2 entire aisles at every store that sells any kind of holiday decorations completely dedicated to EVERY. SINGLE. HOLIDAY. and just leave that crap out all year long. That way whatever you happen to be in the mood for celebrating it will ALL be there for the pickin'.
And those are just about the coolest damn shoes I've ever seen. I wonder if I could get some Wizard of Oz ones made or if they wouldn't make it past the copyright police. Hmmm…..
I can't remember if I commented on this yet and my attention span is too short to scroll through the comments to look. Thanks for making me famous for 5 seconds, and for taking seriously my mini-rant about Rite Aid.
~ LOVE those Keds… you so deserve them.
~ I cannot stand Rite-Aid, and haven't been in one in years!
~ Way to go on the Coconut Queen game, couldn't have happened to a sweeter person!
~ Best wishes for a spectacular Twenty-Ten and beyond…
Those shoes are a hoot! Time to License and mass market NGIP! Lunch Boxes, Water bottles, Hoodies- They are all in your future
CONGRATULATIONS on the video game recognition!
Happy 20-10
Wait, wait, wait. Those shoes. I…I…I can't speak. They are the best thing I've ever seen. I just might have a Pontificating Gerbil that needs to live on a shoe. Zazzle, here I come.
I would LOVE to see pontificating gerbils on your shoes. That would be SO cool! Then we could introduce our shoes at the next BlogHer.
Love the shoes! Happy New Year - 2011 of course!
What a pair of cute sneaks!
Now..let's get a load of your gams…
LOL
CHEERS for a great New Year….
Keep your pen moving my friend…!!!
No goat shoes here, but my son got grey wool slippers. Somehow they pale in comparison…
Happy New Year!
Wooo hoooo. I LOVE the shoes!! Where did you find them? Oh, and congratulations on your game. That's wonderful news.
I was at CVS earlier in the week & saw the Valentine's day stuff out, too. Not sure when they put it up, but it was after Christmas because I was there before & it was still Christmas themed. I know what you mean, though. They all fight to get their holiday things out before everyone elae does.
But please don't start 2011 yet! My daughter is graduating high school in 2011 & I am NOT quite ready for that yet! She just started driving (after learning to walk…) BooHoo!
Happy New Year to you & your family. May 2010 be the best so far! (((HUGS)))
Funny you should mention Rite Aid. I was just there and was thinking the exact same thing. I don't think I even have time to celebrate today. BTW, Happy New Year 2011 and 2012, just to be safe. 2012 will probably be the last one anyway, according to that movie, so better do it now before we're all dead.
Coolest Keds ever! Happy New Year, oh Exalted GoatMistress!
Love, love, love the new kicks! Somebody must really love you.
Happy New Year! I LOVE those shoes! They're perfect for you!
let me tell you how much i'm enjoying the book you sent me! VERY MUCH! I had to read the penis and the toilet paper part to my husband out loud because I'm part of the freakish women who think men should wipe!
great sneaks!
I'm so glad you like the book. Amy Ferris is a very talented writer and in my humble opinion, “Marrying George Clooney” belongs on the best seller list, so everyone can laugh out loud.
Shit, you wrote for a game? Good job and wow!
I did! I did write for a game. And thanks! I hope to do it again someday.
Wow, how did they make those shoes? I personally adore Chucks and would love to be able to put photos on them! I don't shop at Rite Aid, so I'm obviously behind the times. I guess I should stop by once in a while to catch up on the things I'm missing.
I have no idea how they make those shoes, but I'm glad they do. They're fun! And I'm the one who is behind the times because I have no idea what Chucks are.
Chucks are Converse All-Star Chuck Taylors. “Chucks” for short.
Congrats on the game!
And those NGIP sneakers? - Fabulous!
And I hope that you have a New Year's just as fabulous as those Keds, in other words, very very.
Your shoe's are SO cute!
We found the same thing at Discount Drug Mart….pulling and putting up Feb 14 stuff!
Enjoy!
Okay, those are just the coolest shoes ever. Lucky, lucky you. As for Rite-Aid — worst store on the planet. H88888T them!
Happy New Year everyone!
Those are the most awesome shoes! Woo-hoo! Wear them in good health, Margaret! Cheerful goatly bleats to you for 2010!
Thanks, Jenn. The shoes really are a hoot. Er, bleat. Or something. AND they're comfortable!
Oh lordy… if all that premature Chrisjaculation wasn't so true, it'd be funny. Poor Rite Aid employees! You're a hoot!
“Chrisjaculation”? That's awesome. You are awesome.
I'm makin' my list and checkin' it twice for Christmas 2010. A chick can't be too prepared, can she???
HAPPY NEW YEAR YA'LL!!!
Seriously, Nezzy. In fact, if you don't get your letter out to Santa by March, I'd change it to say that it's your gift request list for 2011, just to be safe.
If they would start the 1/2 price markdowns on the December 21st, I probably wouldn't mind.
Congrats on the game!
I LUV the shoes. Maybe you could get them to make snuggies with goats…..er…I mean photos of goats in panties of course.
Snuggies with goats? That's fanTAStic! I'll get right on that.
Those shoes are SWEET!!! What is the rest of this post about? Rite-Aid or something? All I can think about are those SHOES! Dang. Are you going to be giving away pairs of shoes like you gave away those 3,000 NGiP pens? 'Cuz sign me UP!
Happy New Year!
Yes, as soon as I sell some gold, I will be able to afford to give away one pair of shoes. Speaking of selling gold and crappy commercials and certain people's blog posts about certain dresses…have you SEEN that gold commercial? GAHHH!!!!
I want some!
Wear your goat shoes in good health. May they stay always clear of poop.
Thank you, Pricilla. I wear only wear them on special poop-free occasions.
'if you want to see the future, shop at Rite-Aid.'
Really? Wow.
Snow just caved in the roof at my local Rite-Aid…
… Yeah, global warming must be over!
So Happy New Year y'all !
Also where did you get those shoes?!?!
Please don't tell me, I am on a spending vacation. I know I asked but you really shouldn't enable me.
Well then, I will not tell you about the wonders of Zazzle.com because they know how to turn a pair of relatively inexpensive Keds into what must be 24K gold, judging by the price. Not that I looked. Because it was gift, you know.
Oh man, when I saw this in my email it took me a minute to realize that VDay did not stand for Victory Day and wondering what the hell kind of crap merchandise they'd sell for that.
Here Grandpa, thanks for storming Normandy for us, here's a cheap plastic snow globe and plastic imitation war helmet!
