Would you go to the corner store in your slippers?

[ScreamingMeemie]

I'm talking running in for milk and skipping right on out. They are just normal man type slippers..almost look like a shoe, but not. MrG thinks I am horrid to do this...he hates that I wear my pj's (in the car) to drive my daughter to the bus stop at 6:30...but dammit, 6:30 is just too early for me to get dressed if I'm not going to work.

Opinions? Admonitions? :hi:

[yvr girl]

1. Since I walk to the corner store

I'd have to say no. I have plenty of comfortable shoes. That being said, I have gone looking pretty schleppy.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. If were warm out I would walk...but it's very cold, and I'm being

very lazy. :)

[yvr girl]

27. It would take me longer to drive I think

My corner store is literally just at the corner. Right below my corner sushi restaurant.

[cynatnite]

2. I drive my kid to the bus stop in my PJs...

I've never thought about wearing slippers to the store, but if it looks like a shoe I don't see a problem.

The only thing I would never do is wear curlers out. When I was a kid I saw a few women do that and I thought it looked awful.

Keep doing it, MrsG. I got your back :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. It really does look like a shoe..and my jammies are usually

sweats--I did go in my slippers and there wasn't even anyone there except for the guy behind the counter...and he couldn't even see my feet. :hi:

[LaurenG]

3. I would

Especially if they look like reg shoes (almost). I never think anything of it when I see it. In fact I think it's kind of endearing. :-)

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. You would be completely besotted with me then...if you lived next

door. ;) :hi:

[LeftyMom]

4. no

because my slippers are a bit silly:

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. There's NOTHING silly about those slippers!

They'll do you up a treat, mate!

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Those are cute! But, I am such a clumsy girl that I would trip, fall

and crash my head into something. :hi: I envy you the ability to walk in those.

[LeftyMom]

20. It's not the easiest thing ever.

:D

[Dervill Crow]

5. Yes.

My in-laws, who are big city people, would be horrified. That's part of the reason I am fine with it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. I usually horrify my mother in law with the things that I do...

Like marrying her baby. :hi:

[LaraMN]

7. I wouldn't, but I am SICK, in this regard, seriously demented.

My husband and friend laugh at me, because I touch up my make-up before I go running. :eyes: I know, I know. I'm a horrendous freak. It's embarrassing, actually.

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. I used to be that way...

I used to get all dressed and made up before I ran for milk...

...I guess one would say I'm letting myself go...;)

[LaraMN]

21. I think you're wise to do so.

It's totally pointless to be so anal.

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. Hey, I won't go anywhere if

I'm having a Bad Hair Day. :blush:

Maybe there's a support group for horrendous freaks like us.

[reyd reid reed]

8. yes

I go to the grocery store in my slippers. To the kids' school. To the corner store. To the bank.

I drive to drop off and pick up kids in my jammies, too, if it's not too cold.

And I've got pink fuzzy slippers.

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. You are basically of like mind then.

:hi:

[graywarrior]

10. The question is not would I

The question is which pair. I wear pajama bottoms with a nice t-shirt.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. right on!

I wear a long coat over my jammies usually! :hi:

[Lars39]

11. No.

And not because of aesthetics, but germs and grime,or anti-freeze, etc.
I like to keep my inside shoes "pure". :silly: :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. "pure"

:rofl: That's cute!

[x-g.o.p.er]

12. Flip flops, yes, slippers, no.

It's mom's clean underwear theory:

"If you get in a wreck and have to be taken unconscious to the hospital, do you want to be seen in those slippers?

Except with mom, replace slippers with "dirty underwear."

It's guided my life since.

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Well...they "are" nice slippers...

:hi:

[x-g.o.p.er]

58. Then wear them to the store with pride!!

:hi:

[Wetzelbill]

18. I once went in my bathrobe, just like The Dude in The Big Lebowski,,,

hahaha

My friends could barely control themselves. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. Haha! We need pictures of that.

:hi:

[Wetzelbill]

53. not one of my finest moments

but it was hilarious. :)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

22. I do it all the time...

As long as you're in pajamas and not a night gown showing your ass, then why does he care? :shrug:
Duckie

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. It's not right to do that in his opinion.

I don't know why he cares...good question. :hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. Jesus Christ, no. Gag!!

That would mean that your slippers would no longer be good for inside use, because they would have outside crap on them.

other than the tracking in of outside shit (I keep an asian, shoe-free home), though, wearing slippers is just fine, esp. to the corner store. I doubt anyone would notice, and even if they did, it really doesn't matter. And places like QuickTrip and 7-11 and Stop & Go, etc., expect that their clientele will be dressed poorly, anway. It's not like you're going to the doctor's or the library.

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. So, you're saying I should wear real shoes to the doctor?

;) One time I wore slippers to the doctor because I was preggers and my feet had swelled up to melon size and it was all I could find to squeeze my Barney Rubble toes into. The next day I wore flip flops to a funeral home with a nice maternity dress...and polished my nails. It was a horrid horrid time in my life.

[Left Is Write]

24. No.

But I have a good reason. My slippers are my "indoor shoes" that I can wear on the carpet, and I don't want to bring outdoor dirt and grime inside. It would defeat the purpose of my having indoor shoes to begin with.

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. We have all hardwood, and I usually wear just socks in the house.

The slippers are for basically taking the trash out. I'm odd that way. I hate having my feet covered. :)

[Thtwudbeme]

34. Yep.

I certainly would.

I walk the dog in the mornings in flannel pajamas with moose on them.

AND talk to the other neighbors who are out with their dogs.

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. I once picked my daughter up from a dance in scotty dog pj's...

I didn't realize I had to go inside and sign her out...

...she was not amused, needless to say. :hi:

[bigwillq]

36. I would.

Why not?!?!? :shrug:

I see no harm in it. :hi:

While you'll there, can you pick me up a Snickers bar?!?!? :P

[ScreamingMeemie]

37. Sure!

I just got back actually...but I bought a ten pack of Snickers bars yesterday. I'll give you two even! :hi: :hug:

[bigwillq]

43. Thanks!

I love Snickers! YUM! :)

Do you go out in the slippers??? :shrug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

44. Yes. I did. MrG went off with BabyG so the coast was clear.

For a moment, on the way back, I thought I saw his truck behind me and got scared. ;) :hi:

[bigwillq]

45. LOL!

You thought he was sneaking up on you, huh?!?!? :)
That would've been kinda of funny if you got caught! :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

46. I promised him I wouldn't do it anymore...

...and I would have felt like a bad, bad girl.

MrG is so funny.

[bigwillq]

69. So you broke your promise?!?!

:P

You really are a bad girl. :evilgrin: :spank:

[uppityperson]

38. I do. Reason I got sheepskin slippers rather than poofy ones.

Too many times running out to get something and realizing that I had poofy slippers on. I figure if anyone cares, too bad. Wearing pjs at 6:30 am is fine. Tell MrG he should be glad you don't run off after sleeping nude. Be glad for pjs.

[ScreamingMeemie]

I wear sheepskin slippers too. They are fluffy on the inside and

just the leather on the outside, with ties on top and rubber soles.

I can't sleep naked, it makes me have to pee for some reason. TMI, eh?

[GalleryGod]

39. PJ's -under-the-raincoat ! Ouch! Schhh-mokin',Laura!

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. I wish MrG had your sensibilities...

:hi:

[Blue-Jay]

40. I see people in PJs at the store occasionally.

I just figured that it was the new "cool thing" to do. In college, I used to go to morning classes like that, but that's just because I was a lazyass.

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. For me, it's the old "lazy mom" thing to do.

;)

[politicat]

47. Can't answer - I wear Danskos.

For me, they're all purpose. I wear 'em as slippers and shoes. They're the first thing I put on in the morning and pretty much the last I take off - I have crappy arches (very high, need lots of support) so comfortable shoes are a must for me.

[ScreamingMeemie]

50. Those are pretty though. I have a pair I use for work, because I can

slip them on and off easily when I go inside houses. I love them. So comfy!

[greatauntoftriplets]

48. If I could....

I would wear slippers everywhere!

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

51. You and me both!

It's just comfier that way. Since I got sick, I've started worrying less about that stuff...causing MrG to worry more. :hi:

[philosophie_en_rose]

49. Sure. Why dress up for the grocery store?

I don't mean walking around in a teddy, but I think my usual pjs are normal enough to pick up a gallon of milk in the morning. I do wear a coat and I would never wear slippers (but only because I don't want them to get dirty)). So I probably look dumpy, but not naked or dirty.

I might look twice at someone wearing pajamas in the middle of the day, but not in the morning.

In your car, however, wearing pajamas shouldn't matter a bit. If anyone blames you for not wearing your tiffany tiara, then it's really their problem. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

52. At least I brush my hair and check my face right?

:hi:

I really don't see a problem with it either. MrG is a lazy at home, but if he's running out somewhere he puts on a new shirt and the whole bit. It makes me giggle that he's a tad bit higher maintenance than me.

[philosophie_en_rose]

54. Brushing hair - check. Brushing Teeth - check. Makeup - meh.

:)

My dad is actually pretty fussy about how he looks in public, too. I don't think that my mom cares, but she gets dressed up to go to the store because Dad cares.

Marriage seems to be really hard work. The sacrifices are too high for me, though. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

56. At the end of the day, it's still me that MrG wants to cuddle with...

so I guess that's the payoff. :)

I have my issues (little ones like this) with him as well. I think it's gross that he'll cut his nails with his pocket knife while watching t.v. I mean, some things are meant to be done in the bathroom. :hi:

[ikojo]

55. Yes, In the winter I've just thrown on a coat and

not bothered to secure the "girls" if you know what I mean, to go to the convenience store across the street from where I used to live, to get milk and a Mountain Dew. I mean unless your slippers are obviously slippers no one will notice or care. I've seen people in fuzzy slippers getting gas.

[ScreamingMeemie]

57. I've gotten really bad about the no bra thing.

If I can avoid it...i.e. big loose sweatshrit...I will.

:hi:

[billyskank]

59. Ah hell, go for it

:)

[ScreamingMeemie]

60. I did! And MrG will never know!

:hi:

[billyskank]

61. And what he doesn't know (about slippers)

can't hurt him! :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

62. Unless someone takes it upon themselves to ring him up and tell

him that I did and then (yikes!) posted about it even. :hi:

[billyskank]

63. Well who would do a thing like that!!

:rofl:


Don't worry - I haven't got your number ;)

[ScreamingMeemie]

64. A couple of people perhaps.

:) All I have to worry about now is the neighbor...who said "hello" as I left.

She's a nosey type. "Hi MrG, I was a little worried yesterday when I saw Laura run off in her slippers..." :rofl:

[Metta]

65. I'd go in slippers, housecoat and with my hair in curlers.

If I was so of a mind. :hi: and with mismatched socks.

[ScreamingMeemie]

66. If you do that...I want a picture!

:hi: Good to see you. :hi:

[Metta]

67. I'm sure it wouldn't be as good as the one you have in your mind.

But it's the thought that counts. Love ya. :pals:

[billyskank]

68. For that matter

I want to see a picture of YOU in your slippers! :)

[LynneSin]

70. You could just do like Britney does and go barefoot
