*I have a confession to make.  I was in Sunny California last weekend, and my friend, Lisa, caught me wearing flip-flops and gave me grief about it since I always talk about how I hate flip-flops. My defense was that my feet hurt after wearing heels all day, and they did look nice with my outfit.  I still hated that feeling of something between my toes and regretted wearing them after it was too late to change. So there.
