Salt water is rather magic like. Hope it continues to improve.

That sucks, Sue. You should buy stuff, then get one of us to send it to you.

I could do that, but I was actually trying to see how much cheaper to buy a pair of Danskos online vs. paying for them in the store. They're CDN $199 + tax here, and they're US $128 on zappos. I don't know if there's much difference once you add taxes and shipping and convert currency.

I saw three pairs of shoes today that I loved, all of them green.

And a pair of Aerosoles that I can't find online.

Cute shoes, Sue. If you want someone to send them, let me know.

Thanks! The Keen's are comprably priced here, so I'll get them in the store if I get them. I'm on the fence on the Danskos. The Aerosoles I saw were very nice pointy-toed dress shoes, which are kind of tempting, but I decided if I was going to buy green shoes, I want a chunky pair.

I like the Danskos in the colour "pottery".

The orange ones? yeah, I like those too. How was the Pacafiesta? Did you bring home an alpaca?

SA, potatoes are a nearly perfect food because they can be baked and topped with anything! Chilli & cheese, bacon & cheese, broccoli & cheese, sour cream & chives, or just butter, salt & pepper. Good luck mixing it up. I also like pasta for economy and goodness--you can't go wrong with olive oil and a little bit of cheese (you can always top with fresh tomatoes or some olives or something, too.) Good luck with your food groups! /mommy

I'm in the midst of a power coupon rampage at the moment. Since I have more time than money and I have all this net access, I'm currently working on a System which may, hopefully, save us some on grocery bills. I feel so Suburban Mom, I may need to do something crazy to offset it, like get a tattoo or dye my hair black or something.

Yep! and I named him Neil Sedaka.

msbelle, do you carry a laptop? [link] I think I might need one of those.
