Flip-flop obsessed

This means a daily vacation for me!!

A friend once told me, "Flip-flops and a sweater....that's how I always picture you."  Well, she was completely right.  People who know me most likely also know that flip-flops and sweaters are 2 of my favorite things.  I know, they seem like contradictions, but I love the combination.  

Flip-flops get to be my all-occasion shoe of choice.  And when someone gets that far into loving a certain type of shoes, the only spoken summer goal is to get a darker "flip-flop strap tan line." 

So here is an "ode" to my favorite shoes who faithfully take me everywhere:

Flip-flops, flip-flops, from where have you come? 

From the beach, or the zoo, maybe even from Guam? 

Tell me your stories; I’d like to hear these, 

Have you walked to a shop for a ham sandwich with cheese? 

Flip-flops, flip-flops, now where will you go? 

To London or France, maybe even Cairo? 

You and me, will explore in the rain, 

While walking through sand on the coast of Spain.

Flip-flops, flip-flops, you’re now old and worn, 

Your color has faded; your foam has been torn, 

I’ve seen all your stories, its time to go.

Remember dear flip-flops, I love you so.

And, when you're a flip-flop lover like me, you might even buy these ridiculous
socks just so your favorite shoes can still easily be worn...

The progress I made on my summer goal.
