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.

I do not regularly carry a laptop, but I did have a pionk laptop bag from Target a while back. I decided to get rid of it in favor of a bag with wheels.

The reviews of the laptop bags at Target were not good so I wouldn't feel comfortable buying one online. I need to look at them in the store though. I need new laptop bag options because I cart mine around all the time.

There was a yummy one at Levenger. Their outlet store is close to my office, so I need to visit more often.

Yep! and I named him Neil Sedaka.

Does he serenade you?
