Walkin' on Sunshine...Oh Oh...

The Ocho has an announcement to make...
HP08 has decided to come to grips with the fact that she has flat feet. For those of you poor souls that were around when the news was diagnosed with "flat feet," you'll recognize what a big step this is for her.

(Doctor: Oh, well for starters, you have flat feet.
Ocho: No I don't! You have flat feet!

*ten minutes later in car Papa Ocho innocently answers the phone in the middle of the day*

Papa Ocho: Hello Jensens!
Ocho: YOU GAVE ME FLAT FEET!)

Some may be wondering why HP08 was even bothered by this prognosis and to be honest, she can't really tell you. The important thing is, though, that she has accepted it and is ready to make adjustments in her life to compensate for her defect, err..."challenge." What this really means is that the Ocho is investing a little extra money and getting shoes that are actually made for her type of feet. Introducing the Asics GEL-Kayano XII:


















The Ocho still loves the Asics 2100 series, but is hoping that these fancy (translation: expensive) shoes will help her to have a long life of walking on her big ol' flat feet. Oh, and the fact that they match the tankini is just a bonus!

    Ocho, 03 empathizes with the ridiculous reaction to every day disabilities. When 03 found out she needed to get glasses, and may not be able to wear contacts she cried. And when her dad called her out on it she explained she was upset because she thought of glasses as a sign of weakness. I know.

    You're lucky your new kicks match. I have awkwardly high arches, but I'm thinking about buying
    a pair ;-)
