Flip Flop Fight? Is That Right?


I know that the economy is rough right now, but fighting at a local Old Navy store to get $1.00 flip flops is a bit much. I like a bargain just as much as anyone but this is a little out of hand. When I went to Old Navy yesterday hoping to get some of the $1.00 flip flops, but by time I made it there they were all gone except for sizes 5,6 or 7. Since I wear a 9/10 that really did not work for me. I wanted some new flip flop colors, but I really was not going to stand in line for them. I only get up early and stand in lines on the day after Thanksgiving sales. To read more on the flip flop fight click here.

What does this say about our society when we are fighting for flip flops, free chicken and standing in line for a free burrito. I like sales, but I do not want anyone to get hurt in the process. FREE seems to stand for "taking what you want no matter the cost." We need to think about how bad that we want the sale. I know that people are hurting, emotionally and financially, but we need to think about each other as we are running through the stores, snatching and grabbing items at these super sales.

So, let the sales flow....but let's keep it safe out there.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

On the Road Again.....

It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If  you know any great places to go or see in the state of  Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall.  Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
