IS IT A FETISH?

I'm in the process of cleaning out my closet. It's a big job. A time consuming job. And it's not fun. Can I get an amen?

It's got me wondering if I have a fetish for flip flops. Can a girl really have too many?

fetish:
An irrational or abnormal fixation or preoccupation.




Irrational? Abnormal? I don't think so!!!

Preoccupation? Hmmmm....maybe. (head hanging down)

Just because my closet is overflowing with flip flops doesn't mean it's a fetish. Just because I still want more doesn't mean it's a fetish. Just because I look at them everywhere I go doesn't mean it's a fetish.

Right?


"Father, help me to be a blessing to someone today."

FYI: No oil on our beaches yet. Thank you Lord!

Cute flops. Oh don't worry that is not too many. My co-worker had over 100 pairs of flip flops. Her husband said he could roof their house with all her flip flops (ha-ha). Sad though she had some foot/ankle problems and the doctor said she had to give up the flip flops and had to get rid of them ALL. She was so sad. My handbag fetish is way worse than your flip flop fetish. I could never take a picture of them all. There are several shelves and storage tubs involved. I would totally embarrass myself. It's so bad I may need to go into therapy (ha-ha).

I'm so thankful the oil has not reached your beautiful beach...
Hugs,

I don't see a problem with your collection of flip flops.....I think I need to up my flip flop shopping though to catch up with you.

I love them too!

A girl has every right to like shoes. I do no apologies. They are a cute selection you have going there.

It's Florida's official shoe.

Cherdecor said...

Oh, wow! That is a lot of shoes!

How do you decide which ones to get rid of??? I have a major problem with that.....but I'm not a hoarder. :)

♥ Kathy said...

LOL you DO have a lot :)

RosieJo said...

I think you need every single pair, especially all the black ones!

Judy said...

I remember when you cleaned out your closet last year and it got me motivated to clean out mine but guess what? It's still a mess! And let's don't even talk about shoes, I could open my own shoe store.....well,,maybe I'll clean my closet out THIS year thanks to your motivation!

Great News that there is no oil on your beaches. Hope and pray that continues. :)

I used to have flip flops until I developed diabetes and those are not the shoes to wear to protect your feet from injuries, so I had to get rid of mine. :(

I don't think you can have too many flip flops Emelda ... I mean Kat. :) (I used to call Sister B, Emelda, because of all the shoes she buys.) You couldn't wear those in the big harsh though. Sidewalks are too uneven and they'd probably only last you a day. But there's plenty of places around here where you can buy a new pair. It's like an outdoor market with the displays they put on the front sidewalk. xxoo

All colors...all cute! No problem there. A gal can never have too many flip flops!.....Sharon

NitWit1 said...

Well my fetishs are in different areas which are far more expensive, like 3 laptops and two desktops!

I bet you can buy a lot of flip flops forthat investment.

Ha~
It would only be a fetish if you lived in Alaska. In your case they are year-round footwear. Just don't wear white until after labor day.
I am hooking you up to Friday's Favorites... because this is one!

Nancy said...

No way! You live in warm weather and I can see having that mangy flip flops!I have quite a few and I live way up here in OHIO!

Praise God NO OIL! Nancy from OHIO

Gypsy Heart said...

Please remember...you live at the beach. Flip flops are a necessity! You must have them...and in all colors. The Flip Flop Police would be by if you did not. You know you wouldn't want that to happen, right? :-)

Have a blessed weekend...and I am so upset about this oil spill.

Did your kids get back from their honeymoon ??? I'd love to see more pics of the wedding !!!

Meggie said...

A girl can NEVER have enough flip flops! And that's an opinion of a northern gal. Living at the beach...they're merely a necessity!

Connie said...

I remember you cleaning out your closet last year and it took you a couple days....are you done yet???

For some it's shoes....for others purses, etc. Your flips flops are cute and there are so many out there right now that are so darn cute too and some are very cheap! You live at the beach...I think you need a few pairs of flip flops!!

Connie

We were down near the Mission Inn today and thought about our fun meal with you. Found a super cute cupcake shop that just opened! Yummy!!

Would only be a fetish if you lived in Alaska!!!

I wish I could wear them! Buy a new pair, hot pink, and enjoy them for me! My feet are so deformed from the effects of RA that I can no longer wear cute or sexy shoes! Boo Hoo! I once had a shoe fetish and I'm not ashamed to say so! Sometimes I really let it get me down, but then I find some cool looking flats and cheer up awhile! So enjoy those flip flops girl!
