Baby sandals. My daughter’s going to be wearing size 4 baby shoes this summer and I intend to take her to the public pool a lot, so she needed a pair of those cheap waterproof sandals (like flipflops, but with straps to keep them on). Old Navy/Gap only makes those sandals in size 5 and up. Happily, my mom and I went to the outlet mall where I found out that OshKosh/Carters does an XS 3-4 version. So my daughter has sandals. Yay. Bored yet? ---

I bought a lamb gyro with that yogurt sauce I can’t spell. It was from a little Greek joint near my office I have been meaning to try out. It was really good and I think I will go back tomorrow and try something else like those little cheese wrap things. ---
