You are all cracking me up with all of your emails and requests for me to share what kind of running shoes I got!  I figured none of you would care since all of us have a different variety of feet, otherwise I would have shared the information in the first place.  But hey, if you want to know more about my (fantastic, awesome, super comfortable) shoes, far be it from me to keep you from the details!

The shoes I purchased are Reebok SolarVibe Running Shoes.  I got them in Black/White and I love them.  However, so many of you were smart enough to recommend that I buy a second pair, and Matt and I decided that this was a great idea.  Therefore, today, I purchased the same shoe in Tar/Silver/Blue.  I’m very excited.  And maybe a little bit obsessed.  But whatever.

I believe I found the first pair at Finish Line in the mall.  I found the second pair online.

Keep in mind that all feet are different so what’s comfortable for me may not be comfortable for you.  Nike, Adidas - none of the others were working for me that day.

So there you go.  Reebok SolarVibe Running Shoes.  I love them!

I was bummed last week that Tiny Prints was only offering their free card promotion for such a short time, and I know that many of you missed out on being able to take advantage of this.  This is why I was so excited to find another coupon code for a free card – good for two more days.  Making a personalized card from Tiny Prints is so much fun.  You can add your own pictures and a personalized message.  Have the card sent to you for no cost at all, or pay $0.45 for postage and they’ll send it wherever you want!

Just a quick reminder that Saturday, January 7, is the final day that Olive Nation is offering 20% off your entire purchase if you use the code NEWY20.   Plus, they offer free shipping on all vanilla bean orders.  I placed an order earlier in the week and a lovely box of vanilla beans came to my porch today.  Homemade Vanilla Extract, here I come!!

You know what this means don’t you?  Many of us, in all of our respective locations, will be running right to the store to buy Vodka.  I’m not sure whether to say “I’m Sorry” or “You’re Welcome”. ;)

So many of you suggested that my life just couldn’t go on if I didn’t have an immersion blender.  I don’t think you really said it that intently, but after hearing all your rave reviews about how my work in the kitchen would be easier with an immersion blender, and knowing I could trust all of your fine advice, I put this item on my wish list.  It was with much excitement that I opened a package that held this fine appliance.  I am like a kid with a new toy.

Maybe now I can re-work my mayonnaise recipe and find out how to actually make the stuff.  Maybe.
