There Will Be Avocados for Dinner!

May 3rd, 2012 at 04:27 pm

I found avocados for 69 cents each! Time to celebrate!

Last night we had homemade macaroni and cheese for dinner. I make it with whole wheat pasta and strong cheeses for more flavor.

I love to wear flip flops. I have many pairs, but one favorite pair that is black, comfortable, and made by Speedo. I should say HAD. The other day, they broke. I'm sad. Really. They were a great pair. The next day, my "dressy" black flip flops broke as well (they had a nice sole, beads and sequins, and I could wear them to work with the right pants or skirt.) Two pairs of shoes I really liked... Gone in two days!

Really, I'm sure it was time. I got the Speedos at a swim meet at least five years ago, maybe six. The dressier pair, Kenneth Cole, I got at Marshalls around the same time. Neither cost more than $20 and they have been spring/summer/fall staples.

So yesterday, I went out looking for flip flops. The Husband needed a pair, too, because the Swimboy stole his. I found a pair for the husband, but couldn't find any for myself. I will have to keep looking. I don't like the $1.99 kind because they're not that comfortable and they don't last long. I haven't spent much in the clothing budget for a while, so not worried.

Ironically, it's cold, windy, and there is a forecast of rain here today.

    Are flip flops ok at your workplace? Do you need to be able to slip shoes on - off quickly? Our doctor believes they do the same damage as 3" high heels. Problem: offers no solid support, no shock absorbing capabilities lower leg, shin, knee, hip, back and shorten wearer's stride, foot muscles + ankle issues. Flip flop wearers are susceptible to heel/arch pain, tendonitis, shin splints, sprains, stress fractures bunions, hammertoe for starters.

    If flip flops are important to you, I hope it's ok to suggest you seek brands like Ahhnu, Clarks, Zoni Orthotic, Teva, Birkenstock etc. Costs more but less likelihood of surgery later in life.

    I wouldn't wear flip flops to work unless it was okay. Why would I risk my job for shoes?! I don't wear "pool" type flip flops, but something closer to sandal quality in the way they look. MY doctor said they are fine for me. I know that some people can't wear them, but I'm one of those lucky people who can.

    I was never able to wear flip-flops growing up because they were just uncomfortable for me, and they would often lead to cracks and soreness between the toes. However, once I found a pair of Keen flip-flops (with the added insurance of a toe-protector!) I was thrilled... I wore them for over 8 years faithfully until they finally broke this past year. They had an arched sole, and were soooo comfy. Great sandals.
