Reef Sandals & Vitamins


For any of you that have Reef Sandals, you'll know they are ultra comfortable, very durable, and make you look like a cool surfer chick. Okay, maybe not that last thing, but the other two statements are true. I have had my Reef's for 3 years now and have worn them almost everyday and LOVE them. They conform to my foot shape and yada, yada, yada. Well, this morning Joelle and I went to Costco and on our way in, I stubbed my shoe on an invisible bump on the asphalt and the Reef sandal (that hugs my right foot lovingly, day in and day out) bit the dust. Let's have a moment of silence for my loss....


Has anybody ever tried to walk with one broken flip flop? Do not try this at home. So there I was taking a normal step with my left foot and shuffling my right foot behind....I looked like I had no control over my right leg and was dragging it lifelessly behind me. I only needed to get one thing- vitamins. People kept looking at me and then the vitamins in my hands seemed to get equally odd looks. It was as if people were saying, "those vitamins are not going to cure your lifeless leg." I finally took the sandal off and walked half-barefoot through the store carrying my dead sandal in one hand and a box of vitamins in the other. People seemed to look at me and sum up in their heads the situation at hand.


So, you see, my life is not perfect at all. I fall victim to the whims of fate just like everyone else.

I did that exact same thing on a sidewalk in Hawaii. I had to make Todd stop in an ABC store in Honolulu. If you haven't been in one of those, it is an experience all of its own.

That is the funniest visual I've had in weeks! You're a pretty amusing writer and I think I'm gonna treat myself to your blog daily -- even better for me than a vitamin! Sorry about your flip-flop! We miss you and think of you often! My blog has news you may want to check out!
