kaitlin's flip flop fund

due to the recent loss of my brand new black flip flops, i am starting a flip flop fund. yes, as pathetic as this may sound, indeed, it is a flip flop fund. you see, round about last summer...oh, say june...julyish?...my wonderful pair of black flip flops we're unexpectedly devoured by a dog. this posed a huge problem for me, as i wore my beloved black flip flops everywhere. they went with everything - swimsuits, dresses, a nice pair of slacks. hence, in my dutiful effort to rectify this great devastation, i searched the stores far and wide, scourging the racks for a brand new pair. but no. did i find those flip flops i so desparately needed? i think not. as the year progressed, the weather grew colder, and i began to don warmer shoes. the flip flops were pushed to the back of my mind for the time being. but as spring approached, they once again made their way to the forefront of my concerns, and my tireless efforts yielded a nice, shiny pair of reefs at a quaint little store in a local new york shopping mall. but lo and behold, as fate would have it, i happened to lose this pair of flip flops in the commotion that was unofficial bid night, not four weeks after i had purchased my lovely pair of thongs. shocking, i know. so why not simply venture out into the fully-equipped, california board shops and grab me another brand new pair? i'll tell you why not! you see, as of a few days ago, i am literally broke. people. read: LITERALLY BROKE. thus, in one last feeble attempt to make it through the year without having to be a multi-colored flip flop clad hussy (for that is all i have as of now), i am starting a special fund. a charity, so to speak, to raise the money that i need to buy some new shoes. if any of you would be so kind as to send $1 - that's right! ONE DOLLAR - to the following address, i would be most grateful. seriously, it only takes a dollar on your part, and it will make a world of difference to me:

PO Box 14751
Stanford, CA 94309

and if nothing else, wouldn't it be just loads of fun to participate in my little thought experiment? come on people, i constantly prostrate myself in front of you each time you visit this page. is one dollar (4 quarters!) so much to ask? i trust you'll do the right thing.

regards,
kaitlin
