... a good belly laugh and a new pair of shoes.
First, the laughter. I hate to admit this, but I don't much read blogs. At least outside my Web marketing/Tech arena in order to stay current. So when I stumble upon a blog that not only did I read for TWO hours, but also had to stifle my snorts and chuckles so as not to disturb my cube mates, I had to send a shout out.
She is (drum roll please) The Blogess. She entertains like Bette Midler, writes like Nora Ephron (Baby Boomer shout outs!) and swears like a street thug sailor. But I haven't been this amused since I stopped talking to myself. Just know that there is no in between for The Bloggess.
Next up, shoes. I discovered a site for the whole family, actually, but I believe women have been known to experience multiple orgasms over shoe talk. Sorry guys. I said "shoe talk" not "sex talk". (I suspect I'll see a spike in my search referral traffic for writing that last sentence.)
The site, www.ShopItToMe.com, alerts subscribers to sale items from 500+ designer and name brand manufacturers that match their size and preferences. And these are true 50% off sale prices. I know because I spent an hour surfing my recent alert and, if our server hadn't been so slow, I would've finished my Christmas shopping by now.
I like to think of this as an equal opportunity blog. So guys get shopppin' and gals get laughin'. The holidays will be over before we know it.
