Outside of the bed or shower??
Oh. No. You. Didn't. (OMG email!)
I hardly ever go barefoot. It was drilled into my head as a kid, Do Not Go Barefoot, EVER.
Right.
As a kid, summer rain showers were the best. My sister, brother and I (quickly it became mainly my sister and I) would run outside into the rain, barefoot.
I love that feeling. The fresh, wet, long grass on my feet. It brings back so many great memories.
As I got older maybe once a year I would indulge in some wet, squishy goodness.
I have not done this in years.
My bare feet hit the kitchen floor and I feel naked. Weird but it just is that way for me.
So one Friday after my weekly (sometimes) trek to Subway for some Italian BMT goodness, I found myself tripping over my feet more than usual. Hmph. Weird. Whatever. Are you awake yet?? It's Past lunchtime. Sheesh.
One my way out the door I practically fall over. Hoping no one saw my trip-up, knowing I always have a comeback, I made it to my car. I climbed in and looked down. The strap was out of the flip flop. This flop did not lose it's flip, it lost it's strap. Dang. That sucks. Well I have not bought a new pair this season (it's almost July, what'cha waitin' for??!!). So I decided a quick trip to Rite Aid is in order. The other Pharmacy, Kinney's, has just not had what I like. Walmart either.
So I get into the parking lot of the Rite Aid and put the strap back in, reminding myself to not flip the flop so much, I have to get in and out of the store. And then I see them. Of course they are not the right size but I don't care. They are perfect.
seriously need to do something about this rug
I love them. They just make me smile. Good colors and look at that, a butterfly. How nice.
I buy them and make my way outside. The strap is about out again of the old flip flops. Of which I had a moment of sadness parting with. I've had them for about 2 years. Their sister is hot pink and black, these - teal and black. So it's fitting the new pair have the same color scheme. I did not have my camera with me, so a parting shot was not in the cards. I took them off and threw them out. Uh, now what? Walk to the car (about 30 feet) in bare feet?? O. M. G. Heavens, No girl, you mustn't!
Right-o.
I put my chin in the air and I took a short, barefoot, hot pavement, wow this feels weird walk to my car. Man oh man. It. Felt. GArate!
Once I got in my car I proceeded to put the new flip flops on. How sweet it was though, being totally barefoot without a care in the world. Of course I checked my feet, nothing wrong there, nothing sticking in them, out of them, nothing. All is right in the world.
I got home and took more pictures of them (they are just so pretty!) before I had my meal. Priorities can get wonky when a new shiny thing is in front of your eyes. Uh huh.
Ahhh, cameras, capturing lifes little moments so as to bore others with them. How sweet.

"I put my chin in the air" aka you kept your pecker up, right? HA.
Oh, and Subway Club > BMT. Please update your records.
Arr - good stuff; there's nothing like being bare-footed around the place. I do it whenever the weather is warm enough in Scotland.
That is, once every few years...
Not to flip the flop so much. You crack me up. Now I'm hungry for Subway.
wv: crablous, like I'm fabulous, but crabby at the same time
I too was "trained" to never go barefoot. I'm almost scary compulsive about it (which is kind of sad).
Your feet look very happy in their new flops (which are beautiful!).
Oh - that diet coke looks SO GOOD in the picture! All cold and ready to please your taste buds. :-)
Great flip flops - !! And I'm enjoying all your photos.
At my house, whatever you do, don't be messin' with the flip flops! I'm outnumbered 3 to 1. Everywhere I look there are flip flops. And yes, I usually find a pair to trip over HA HA!
Cool flip-flops, my friend. Barefoot? Oh no, not me . . . I never ever would . . . not even think about it. *ahem* Totally lying. I walk around with no shoes all the time. I know, I'm so bad.
