Slippers

As befits the suburban housewife, I like to wear slippers. I wear them almost all the year round. I am particularly fond of a brand that has nice comfy slippers but a sturdy sole that allows me to do the minor outside jobs that must be achieved in my busy day (check mailbox, empty compost, retrieve recycling bin, etc) without changing footwear. My last pair have just disintegrated past the point of no return. My lovely husband bought me these last Friday night. They are summer style - open at the back and open toed, and hot pink. Isabelle and Aidan have both worn them in a short circuit around the kitchen and seemed to approve. However - it does take some time for new slippers to bed in. No matter how groady and disgusting the last pair, I have to make myself throw them out and just move on! The old ones always seem so - comfortable. It is easy to overlook their faults and put the new ones in the back of the wardrobe "for best". But no, I will be strong and banish my shredded old slippers to the bin. Tomorrow.
