I love FLIP FLOPS ...

When I was a little kid, I used to call them THONGS. I'm not sure when the term got changed, but it did. Maybe it was when they developed a certain type of undergarment by the same name ;)

ANYWAY, I've always done the cheap flip flop ... OLD NAVY ones that usually are 2 for $5.
While I still go with those in a variety of colors to match my spring/summer attire, I kept seeing all these fun flip flops this year. I'm not sure why these YELLOW BOX flip flops have to cost $29, but they are super cute and fun ... SO I SPLURGED. I may have to get another pair. They are super comfy too.

  • I love that I can just slip on quick footwear that is comfortable.
  • I love that you can easily see nicely polished toes.
  • I love that you can never have enough flip flops.
  • I love that flip flops have always been in style ... at least for my whole life.

We used to call them "thongs" too when I was growing up in the Pacific Northwest. I thought it was a regional thing, but I think you probably have the correct explanation for the etymology. I still slip up sometimes, and boy do I get the looks!

My girls have discovered the joys of flip-flops. Children's Place always has really cute ones for their set.

Oh, I love those $29 flip flops!

I wish I could wear the cheapie Old Navy ones. I can't do plastic between my toes...it hurts me. The ones I have had luck with are the TEVA Mush style.

YAY for warmer days!

I.LOVE.FLIP.FLOPS.ALWAYS!!!

Can't ever get enough of them. And the funkier and sassier, the better.

Have you ever tried the Reef ones -- they're kinda on the pricey side too - but I get them from the skateboard/ski shop my future BIL manages (at a discount :) They're AWESOME!!!

I've always called them FLIP FLOPS. A teacher at preschool had those redbox ones on the other day, and I had to roll my window down in the carpool like to ask her where she got the cute shoes. They're adorable!

I have a flip flop thing too...
They hurt my back if I wear them walking too much but as a general rule, they are my summer shoe.

My favorite flip flops (as of a year ago) are Havianas - probably the most comfortable flip flops ever.

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...
