Dollar Tree Slippers |
One year, I decided to get a "better" pair, thicker but the same terry cloth look, at Belk's for about $16. They were cushy, foamy and a disaster. I kept falling off them from the first step! They were not stable, just 3/4 inch of foam. I took them off within a minute and returned them.
I haven't seen a pair like this for years. For $1 this is a bargain. Unfortunately, I bought the wrong size. I had both sizes in my hand. Obviously, I put back the pair that was my size. Have you ever worn this slipper, the one with no form or stylishness?
Monday was laundry day, I suppose. I had to hang on the line the clothes I washed at the laundromat and fold them. There was also a load of black pants and blouses to hang in the house. A load of whites went into the washing machine.
Monday was a much less stressful than Sunday! (last post)
On Sunday, I put butter on my last piece of bread, put it on a piece of foil in the oven on broil.. Then, I went out to the car with woman who came for about ten minutes. I almost cried because it was black and ruined. The kitchen was so smoky. Later that night my eyes started stinging me. So, the laundromat incident was just one of many incidents that had me feeling so "off" on Sunday. Anne described it perfectly in a comment on my last post--"everything I touched turned to crap."
Kitty left me two half-consumed presents...right in the path from door to car. Thanks, Kitty!
I just heard a fascinating podcast how pink became equivalent to femininity.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your new slippers !
Urspo,
DeleteAnd, how was that. Pink and red are my favorite colors. I will enjoy them.
Red and pink used to be for boys until ~ 1940
DeleteI knew pink silk was for men in the 18th century. Men were the ones who wore heels, also. Thanks.
DeleteI have had a pair of super foamy slippers and did not like them at all so I put a brick on each one and after about a month they were flat enough that I loved them
ReplyDeleteAnne,
DeleteThat is funny. I never thought of that. Thanks.
I hate it when I burn something when I am busy with a client.
ReplyDeleteKim,
DeleteAnd, it only takes seconds to burn. At least mine was only toast. I imagine you burn more substantial things.
I need some "foamy" slippers for walking around the house. It's mostly hard flooring and hurts my feet to walk in socks or barefoot.
ReplyDeleteOne,
DeleteYou live on a slab? I have only lived on a slab for 1.5 years in my life. Otherwise, I would have to wear something very soft in the house.
Your slippers look good, and I like pink too :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Jan,
DeleteThanks. I have so many pink things.
