Well, of course, then I went to Zappos, and they apparently do have the shoes I want. [link] But I'm still askeered of buying shoes off the internets.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

I was just looking at my pictures from Budapest yesterday afternoon! There were Burger Kings everywhere in Budapest when I was there. Ordering a chocolate shake in Hungarian was kind of hilarious.

In completely different news, my work ibuprofen bottle is empty. This isn't a good thing.

It's less Zappos I'm afraid of, and more the post office.

Yeah, I have to get to the post office if I get a package. Forget fedex and ups, because that ends up with me chasing the package forever.

Zappos uses UPS. When I've had to send something back, I've just dropped it off at my local Mailboxes, etc. Easy peasy. I love me some Zappos!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Shopping at Zappos is a good time, Jesse. Free return shipping! Good prices!
Well, I was just looking at these and thinking they were pretty if too high...and then I saw the price...damn, I feel provincial.

I just told my mother I'd like a Le Crueset dutch oven for Christmas, but only if they'll ship it UPS, because my UPS guy comes at night! YAY UPS guy!
Edit:
Zappos uses UPS.
Oooh.
Of course, then I realized I can get FF miles if I use shoes.com, and then I thought maybe this is not the time to get super involved in shoe shopping, between being at work and the need to do present shopping...
