Random Thoughts
My company is one of the biggest pushers for people to be "eco friendly" but we have two sinks in our bathroom that have been dripping for at least 9 months. Wonder how much water we've wasted?
The word amazeballs really pisses me off. I don't understand the obsession with it.
I need a pedicure and I think that's what I'll do on my lunch break.
Now you go.

And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

I'm bored and don't feel like working today.
I could go for a drill of any kind about 11:30 today. Two weeks ago, we were without power. That was a good day.

I really want to go back to school shopping. That is my favorite thing ever.
RAWR!

Our drill was awesome. Our facilities guy warned everyone as we came in this morning that there'd be a drill. The alarms start going off and he starts running around shouting orders (like " WALK DON'T RUN TO THE FRONT EXIT!" "MEET AT THE MAILBOX IN THE FRONT!" DON'T PANIC!" and my personal favorite... "THIS IS JUST A DRILL, NOT A REAL FIRE!"). We were laughing so hard at him. Then we get oustide and he pulls out a clipboard and starts taking attendance. 2 of my coworkers died in our fake fire.

Babies cost too much. WSJ says $222,000 for one kid born in 2009.

</strong>I've spent about $19k in the last 2 years alone on daycare. Not to mention diapers, clothes, toys, baby food, formula, etc. etc.
I'd guestimate I've spent close to $25-30k in the first two years of his life. Holy crap.
And then a guy told me that once the elevator got stuck when that happened. I'm thinking, it isn't an internal alarm; the doors don't shut, goofus. I needed a pillow to sit on, someone wanted their backpack from up here, etc.
Joy.

[QUOTE]I need boots for winter, but I have large calves that prevent me from being able to get tall boots. Can anyone help a sister out? Good sites for boots with extra leg room?

Not sure if they have a store in your area, but I've ordered online with them and they are easy to deal with for returns if you don't like. ETA: If you register for coupons, they will send you some great discounts for in store and online shopping
Also JCPenney has a few pair that are wide width (sometimes that gives more room in the calve too), but usually I'm able to wear their regular boots. I'm pretty sure I've bought mine there the past two years.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Random Thoughts : I have the opposite problem. I have small calves that leave stupid-looking gaps in tall boots. I can't find any that fit my legs.
Posted by Seshat411[/QUOTE]
I remember long, long ago when I had that problem. I have size 9 feet, too so that made it worse (shafts are slightly wider in larger sizes). SO, I either wore ankle boots or I tucked jeans into them.

Seshat - I have that problem. Then I bought some boots that don't have zips on the sides and I kept trying to shove my skinny jeans in them and now when I wear them with dresses the bunch up at my ankles. Guess I'm lookin' for new boots soon!
(I know, it sucks.)
I'm not plus size, but I have calves and not chicken legs. Darn designers.
I've had the best luck with Lane Bryant.
Target has a pair of stretchy stiletto-y heeled ones, if you just want sexy ones.

Famous footwear has plus calves for tall boots in some styles. these might work. and some leather is strechier than others. Not sure if they come in the styles you are looking for though.
Plus so many other people wear them that if we all collectively look stupid, then it's okay

If your climate is one that spend the winter in the 20s and below regularly; if the word blizzard is a normal part of your vocabulary; if the plastic orange fencing is called snow fencing for you and not hurricane fencing; and if your city has snow routes planned, you should have a pair.

But now I'm better!
The Uggs I have - I don't even wear socks with them. You don't need to. And it's a miracle because my feet don't sweat or stink in them either.
CS:
#1 - Nope
#2 - I have 4 or 5, but they're all for different purposes/weather types.
#3 - Probably not. See #2. Mine are different colors. Purple, Light blue, Black (ankle length parka), leather, another purple, red.
#4 - um - YUM!!!

[QUOTE]Is it wrong to buy a pair of really cute boots in two colors? Is it wrong to buy a cute coat in two colors? Is there such thing as "You have too many black coats!"? I just ate about half on an 8-inch chocolate ganache cake. I need to workout.
Posted by Champagne Supernova[/QUOTE]
1) Absolutely not!
2) Absolutely not!
3) Not really, you can't wear the same coat every day. That is ridiculous. The weather isn't the same every day. And even if it was, options are required to keep us from being bored. You can't have more than you have space for though. Then we might see you and your black coats on Hoarders: Buried Alive or something.
Umm, don't know what to tell you about the cake except it sounds yummy. And good luck with that.
