You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Kate, these things take way longer than you think they will. I wouldn't read anything into that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Things always take longer. Especially on a Friday.

Thanks, brenda ( edit: and Jesse!). I should have known not to rely on it when the interviewer said he thought he could let me know by Friday. If nothing else, I know he's new to the school, so he may just not know all the steps that have to be taken before they can make a formal offer. So, okay. I live in hope!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

-t (however it is pronounced) has an awesome haircut.

This week is finally over.

My shoes today made me happy. [link]

I'd like to have more, but I really don't.

Those are very cute Lee.

I need to get some new work/walking shoes. If these Salt Lake trips are going to be regular (as they seem), I need more comfy shoes for walking from the hotel to the office and back. My flat gave me major blisters and I know my heels would be worse. Might be time to invest in some Danskos.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Those are happy-making shoes!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

For people who enjoy ASH and Karen Gillan and simultaneous Downtown/Sherlock/Oliver! parodies, I can't recommend the most recent NTSF:SD:SUV:: enough.

I live in Danskos, Suzi. Highly recommended!

The prices scare me though, Kate. It just doesn't make any sense to rent a car when I go to SLC. The light rail takes me from the airport to a block from work and a block from the hotel and there are lots of restaurants in between. My normal walking shoes don't work with business attire, so I need to upgrade.

It is funny though, the project I work on would pay for a rental car each trip. And the cost for one visit would likely be the cost of a pair of Danskos.

The prices are high, but the shoes are definitely good value -- I wear mine day in, day out, and they hold up very well. (I also don't buy a lot of shoes, so I don't mind paying more for a decent pair when I need them.) I bought one pair in 2003 or 2004, and they lasted until my honeymoon in 2011 -- and even then, the only reason I had to dump them was that they had been so thoroughly damp for so long that they were starting to get moldy. Bought a replacement pair last year and I love them; like I said, I barely wear any other shoes. They're comfy, durable, and cute, and well worth the money I paid for them.
