  • I am a bad blogger. Again. Ouuch. But. I am working on it. I downsized at work to become part-time and now I am finding myself working more than ever. Which, I suppose, is okay as long as everything stays interesting. Maybe in November life will settle down? Maybe? Maybe not? Perhaps December? Or January?!?…

  • Hopefully it is no big secret that I work at Paper Source. The company is growing and growing – opening stores all over the US throughout the end of this year (with many more planned in the following years.)

We chatted about normal stuff and then he said, "Did you go to Target today?" When I responded yes, he looked crestfallen. "Why?" I asked, pretty sure I…

  • Thank you, Blogland. Yesterday, I got home from work and started crying. My arches, my heels, my calves and my shins all hurt. I was a mess. I was a before poster for a podiatrist office. Or something. And so I looked up the footwear recommendations from you guys. And most were very good. I…

  • I am in the market for some shoes. Dressy flats, causal flats and boots. All of them. Any of them. I will truly buy every single pair that both look hot and do not hurt my feet. I can make this grand statement because I believe there are approximately three or four pairs that will…
