Today I'm wearing black pants, a red v-neck sweater with a black t-shirt underneath. A cool beaded necklace and my cowgirl boots! The boots are in honor of Lynne and Dev's visit! They'll be arriving soon!
The boots always cause folks to make comments. Today a colleague of mine who used to work in Texas had an interesting little chat with me about cowboy boots when he noticed mine. He explained to me a little bit about his preferred type of boots that he likes to buy. He said they're called "shit kickers" (he couldn't think of any other term the boots might be known by). He said they have rounded toes and are most commonly worn by
sheep farmers!!!
This bit of info, of course, made me excited. I wonder if Ennis and Jack are wearing "shit kickers" in BBM? Although, I guess since Ennis and Jack aren't really sheep farmers (on a permanent basis) this concept of dressing for a particular kind of work with sheep may not apply to them.
