There are a few products and websites that I get very enthusiastic about and want to go out and tell everyone about. Igigi is one of them.

If you are a woman who wears a US size 12 through 32, then Igigi is the place to go to buy dressy clothes and work outfits. I found Igigi when I was looking for a wedding dress that would fit my, um, voluptuous ( Read more... )

It's all Fun
I went to the mall and bought new Birkenstocks. Part of me feels guilty spending $120 for a pair of sandals when so many people are in need. But most of me recognizes that this is all part of the Samuel Vimes "Boots" Theory Of Socio-Economic Injustice. My old pair of Birks have lasted ten years -- Ten Years! -- and are still in good ( Read more... )

I cooked my first thing on the new stove! Squee!

It was just a pot of potatoes and eggs, boiled together to get hardboiled eggs and boiled potatoes for a potato salad. But I am so happy.

This Wednesday we're getting a new dishwasher.

When we decided to buy the new dishwasher this afternoon, I did a little research and told bbwoof that it could cost anywhere from $200 to $2000 plus installation charges -- what was the maximum he wanted to spend ( Read more... )

Earlier this week my glasses frame broke at the nose-piece. I tried taping the lens in place temporarily, but it made me feel dizzy and nauseated so I didn't wear them much. I guess I could have found an optometrist downtown: meh. I left replacing them for the weekend. I have been wandering around in a blur for a couple of days ( Read more... )

I'm so glad you guys are book-lovers. I was sure you were, but you can be surprised.

Between us bbwoof and I own over 2000 books. I'm pretty sure of this because I know that I owned 1000 a few years ago when I counted them. I've bought a few hundred since then. When we moved in, bbwoof had roughly the same number of boxes of books as I did. So... Yeah, lots o ( Read more... )

I'm looking forward to dropping in at Archon this year, especially since Elizabeth Moon is the guest of honor -- oh, what am I saying, actually it's because I have bought the perfect tee shirt to wear to cons:

A T-shirt designed to avoid the attentions of science fiction writers with grabby hands. Warning image in high quality Retro-Pixel-Vision ( Read more... )

Last night bbwoof picked me up from work at about 7:30, and we went to Wei Hong for dinner. We sat with our books and the gingery garlicky goodness for an hour or so, taking the leftovers home ( Read more... )

We did very little last weekend, and yet I'm all tired out this morning.

Saturday was a slug day, a catch-up-on-sleep-and-LJ day. Saturday night I got take-out from our favorite Chinese restaurant. We ate Chinese while we watched the rest of the first Smallville disc, which we'd got from Netflix. Hey, Smallville is good! So is Wei Hong's eggplant ( Read more... )
