The miracle of a long-enough vacation

Jan 06, 2010 16:27

I went back to work today, and I was actually almost ready to go back to work! I think the timing was just about perfect. One more day off and I'd've started to be kind of mentally blobby. One day fewer, and I'd have been sad ( Read more... )

work, clothes make the woman, vacation

cute boots!!!

I wish I had some - I have NONE and there's a bunch more snow coming to pile on top of what we already have on the ground.

Not sure how these would be in snow. Possibly okay--they have really tready soles. But man, you'd need three pairs of socks, 'cause they're not all that warm. Great for puddle-stomping, though.

Every time the NYTimes has a cycling article I think of you...e.g.,

The fact that the NYT has enough bicycling articles to allow you to say "every time" thrills me no end, and the fact that that guy has, so far, four pages of comments in the form of really great bike questions is just wonderful!

Speaking of which:

I keep planning to mail the hard-copy ones with the not-actually-Christmas-2009-anymore goodies that ended up not being confected.

Oh, now that? That was all over the bike-o-sphere yesterday or the day before, and I've been droolingly thinking about it ever since. Podfic, baby! Porn for all to hear! LOLOLOL

Hey--I put those boots back on the shelf daily! And now you know what I do for a living! :)

Well, they're awesome boots for the price. And let me ask you a merchandising question: how come the tiny sizes for little gals are on the top row, and the big sizes for big tall gals are way down at the bottom?

roxymissrose January 7 2010, 05:13:21 UTC

omg, yes! A question I've asked for *YEARS*! At our location, (so I'm assumimg it's going to be all stores) they've finally started to get that "duh, tiny little feet mean tiny little people..." and flipped the smaller sizes to the bottom.

Yay! Revolution!
