Simple Pumps, Schmiple Pumps

I am wearing these shoes today ...

... and can I just say that even with 5" heels and a 0.5" platform (so heel is actually 4.5"), these are easily the most comfortable pair of heels I currently own. They even rival my flip-flops and sports shoes for comfort. Seriously, I don't know what Mr. Louboutin is doing, but my feet are in love with him.

What a cool story. And what a cool guy. Love how he tells the tale.

Snow, schmow

It snowed last night. And I mean, it SNOWED. I think we got about 5-6 inches, mostly between 5-9 am this morning. OK, so this isn't exactly what they ae used to everyday during the winter months in Denver or Chicago, but it's pretty exciting for us wussies in the northern Virginia area. All schools are closed, government offices offered liberal leave to employees, the federal government opened two hours late, and I am working from home not only because the schools are closed, but also because the losers who are supposed to plow our neighborhood streets have not made an appearance yet.

Check it out ... the first real snowfall in the DC area in the past few years ...
