No Flippin' Way!

I get Bath & Body Works emails from time to time when they have a sale. There are certain things I like that I won't pay full price for - so I keep my eye out when there is a little extra in the budget for some nice lotion or hand soap on special. This morning I got an email from them and clicked on over to see what was on sale and found these flip flops. I almost had a heart attack. Are people in this economy paying almost $50 for a pair of flip flops? I mean they are cute - but not that cute. My friend Gayle is trying to stick to that amount of her weekly grocery shopping budget.

T13 Edition #6 - Thirteen Sounds I Can Hear Right Now

This week I've had a hard time getting my "thirteen" list together. But alas, this evening I was finally inspired.

Thirteen sounds I can hear right now:

1. An irritated barking dog
2. The repetitive rhythm of an unattended Nintendo game cube
3. The whoosh-whoosh –whoosh of the ceiling fan
4. Feet coming up the porch stairs
5. Unhurried cars passing by
6. The screen door creak as it opens
7. Water running
8. Children running outside around the house
9. The zing of a firing BB gun
10. Girl-talk as Kaitlyn and a friend approach
11. The pop of an opening soda can
12. The shuffle of flip flops on the tile floor
13. Laughter

Ah, it’s a Friday night in a small town!
