The Friday of Me

susandennisI got a really ugly and tedious work assignment yesterday afternoon late. I knew that starting work on it then was a very bad idea so when Travis decided that I should Get Out Of This Bed Now at a rather early hour, I figured it was a sign. So I got up and did the deed.
I am such a morning person. Anytime after 10 am this job would have taken me 4-6 hours. This morning, I zipped it out in 3. So by 9, I had done a good half day's work or more. Nice way to start the day.

One of the side benefits of quitting the gym is never having to put on those gym shoes again. I hate them. They are big and they require tying and I don't like the way they look. BUT, I can walk for days in them. the only other shoes I have that I can walk more than to the car and back in are my Crocs. I can walk well and long in my Crocs but, while some would say Crocs are NEVER acceptable footware, even I say that there some times when real shoes are better.
So Zappos, whaddya got? Well, turns out, they have these which are perfect. Easy on Easy off. Nice looking. They arrived today. The only problems are they are too short and have no support so they need insoles which would also make them too small.
But, it's Zappos. So, I pop to their website, order up the next larger size (be here Monday) and click return for these. Print out the prepaid UPS label and bang, I'm good. I love Zappos.

I'll drop the shoes off at the UPS store on my way back from swimming. Happily the UPS store is right next to a Bartell's drug where I can check out what Dr, Scholl's has to offer and, maybe, get me a couple of spam sliders for lunch at Marination Nation.

It sounds like they are cutting down trees outside which makes me soooo sad. Sad because they are clearly NOT cutting down The Tree That I Hate. They are cutting down equally ugly trees across the street for the new development. I want to sneak over there and add my tree to the list on their clipboard.

Last year I got a beautiful and oh so soft quilt at Anthropologie. At the end of the winter I had it dry cleaned. It's still beautiful but no longer oh so soft. Now it's kind of lumpy-ish. Not horrible but not amazing like it was. Lesson learned. Sigh. But, still it was wonderful to burrow under it last night.

Ok it's now swim time. I'm outta here!!
