I won $2 at poker on Sunday and since it’s not a high-rollers game or anything, that $2 made me the big winner. So I took it as a sign and today shlepped the kids to the mall to have another look at the impractical strappy sandals I passed over last week.

Turns out they were on sale for $30. Fate could not be speaking more clearly. They’re now in my living room :).
