I'm not entirely happy with the Crate & Barrel sofa I got, but I did get excellent service.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We buy our stuffed furniture at the Mitchell Gold outlet in NC; they have a list of their vendors here [link] and they actually make a lot of the Pottery Barn stuff too. They are spendy (outlet is usually at least half off, which is the only way we can afford them) but excellent quality and made to last.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
As long as people (especially flea) are offering shopping advice, can I beg for shoe assistance, tiny human division? Matilda has been complaining for the past couple of weeks that various body parts hurt, and the other night when we were taking off her shoes it finally dawned on us that, duh, she's gearing up for another growth spurt. So now she has only one pair of even slightly comfortable shoes, size 7 fake Uggs from her cousins-in-law in Indiana. Zappos and Amazon are giving me some love, but not a ton. Any other recommendations?
(Also, as she's growth-spurty, I'm hesitant to spend $35-50 on a shoe that may well not fit by next month.)

The thing I don't understand about the Copa is, why would they let some crazy lady who always dresses in her old showgirl costume (with faded feathers in her hair) hang out there?

JZ, I had good luck grabbing a variety of comfortable shoes from consignment shops. Barring that, Payless or Target.

Ebay often has new-in-box Stride Rites in the $15-20 range, and used ones for even cheaper. Other brands to look for: Keen, Merrell, Umi, Milo & Morgan, See Kai Run. Also, check thrift stores in fancy neighborhoods - at a size 7, kids often are still growing fast enough that they outgrow shoes well before wearing them out.
And, you've found an area where Matilda is bigger than Dillo! He is comfy, even roomy, in 6.5s still, at 30 months! (Note that his sister's very first pair of real shoes, bought at 15 months, are 7s).

We got a fair number of shoes from Target when the kids were small.
