Last evening as I was leaving to go out for supper with my parents, I picked up my Ray Bans to put them on and noticed a gigantic crack right through the left lens. I loved these sunglasses and wore them all the time for the past 4 years. Four years ago, I went to Vancouver to visit friends and to go skiing in Whistler. It was a fabulous visit and great skiing. While I was at the Vancouver airport waiting for my first of two flights home, I walked by the Sunglass Hut and noticed these Ray Bans with two-toned orange frames and it was love at first sight. I didn't buy them because I didn't want to spend the money. I arrived in Toronto and walked around the airport while waiting for my flight to Ottawa and I saw them again. I admired them and tried them on, but still didn't buy them.

One or two days after my return to Ottawa, I had a terrible day at work, then I wiped out on my bike ride and bruised the entire side of my thigh and butt, and when I got home I noticed a racoon got into my garbage can and garbage was everywhere. After that day from hell, I said, "That's it! I'm going to buy those sunglasses." They have been a great pair of sunglasses and the perfect size of aviators for my face.
Last night after supper, my parents and I went to the mall and I tried on tons of sun glasses. I had it narrowed down to 3 pairs and took pictures to get my friend Vicki's opinion. The top 2 pairs were for fun and for these two pairs, Vicki commented "Oh Hell No", and "You look bat shit crazy". Ha ha! I love trying on sunglasses and hats.

Back to today's photo challenge, which is "Something Blue". I thought of taking a picture of the sky on my bike ride home from work. The sky was a perfect shade of cornflower blue with big, puffy, cotton white cumulous clouds. I mentioned my photo challenge to my neighbour as she was petting and scratching Nutmeg and told her I was considering taking a picture of the sky for today's challenge. She advised against taking this picture because the colour wouldn't come out real blue at that time of the day. She suggested taking a picture of my blue recycling box, but I didn't want to take a picture of that. Don't worry, I thought of something blue.

| 31 Day Photo Challenge - Something Blue - Blue Flip Flops |
The first thing to show you is my flip flops in blue. I have many pairs of flips flops and in various colours and support. I love wearing them in the summer and changing them up. They are so easy to slip on and head out the door. I wish I could wear them all the time. Now I have a problem. I don't have a closet anywhere near the door in the kitchen. All of my shoes and coats and are kept in the spare bedroom closet. Now I didn't want to have a pile of flip flops by the door and was looking for a storage solution. I came up with the idea of using a metal pail to store them and it would keep the area tidy. I told my mom this and she found this cobalt blue pail with a lid and it works perfectly in my kitchen.

Here's my final picture of my "Something Blue" with a lid. You can use anything for a storage solution, you just need to be a little creative.
