coach!
3rd pair from that post... i really like the design on these... the heel detail is especially appealing to me, BUT the fact that they are predominantly white gives me pause. i feel like a high school football coach whenever i wear them. I'm pretty sure i don't LOOK like a high school football coach... at least i hope i don't.
chocolate goodness
brown Pumas from the last shopping post... i love the Puma on the toe, but i REALLY love the Puma on the INside. that was the deal breaker for me. I wore them the other night when we went to dinner with some friends and was noticing how the sole is VERY flat. I'm not wild about how flat the sole is... but i do like the color. I've fallen in love with Brown this season... Chocolate Brown most of all.

Hey "ANONYMOUS"!!!!!
I recently got an e-mail notifying me that someone left a comment on my Blog. I love getting these e-mails. It means that someone has taken the time to read my poorly written, random thoughts and for some reason was motivated to take a moment and comment on said thoughts. I immediately clicked the appropriate link to read the comment. I was surprised to see that it was from an older post. Here's what the comment said:

First of all I would like to say it was both the customer and delivery boys fault. Always keep in mind the driver only keeps so much money in his pocket. They are a target for robbery, but since the situation did occur he should have went to the store. Next time when placing your order always tell them you need them to bring change for a 20, 50 100 or whatever. Also make sure when you post comments about a certain businesses over the internet you include the state and city of where they are located. Many businesses have the name Waiters on Wheels. They also provide service to people that home bound, sick and disabled not just lazy.
Here's what I replied:

Um... who are you?
Why should I have to tell a food delivery service that I'll need change? I wasn't asking for the driver to break anything bigger than a 20. I'd never expect a driver to break anything bigger than that.
As long as you're handing out advice, I guess I'll return the favor. When YOU post a comment on a blog - especially when accusing the writer of being lazy - don't do it anonymously. That's just chicken shit.
The city and state i'm from is posted right under "About Me", jackass.
So... here's another message for "Anonymous" just in case "Anonymous" decides to drop by again: fuck off.

Word Verification
It's official. I FINALLY took my sister's advice and turned on the Word Verification thingy on my comments. So... LATER DAYS to all you pain in the ass spammers.
Munny, Munny, Munny, MUH-NEE; MUUUU-NEEEEE
Did you check out that Munny sight?
http://www.kidrobot.com/munny/
Go, go, GO!!!! It's Brilliant!!!! I haven't done anything to mine... dunno if I will or not. All I know is that there's no way I could ever compare with some of the ones posted on their discussion board.
I have a feeling lots of my peeps are going to be finding a Munny under their tree this year.
Is that a good c-mas present idea? Or is it just me? Would nobody else "gettit"?
Comments please.
