The countdown...gimme a three!

THREE (NON-BOOK) THINGS WITH WHICH I AM OFFICIALLY OBSESSED

1...Shoebuy.com. I know. This is a strange one for me, right? After all, I am so not a shoe girl that they almost kicked me out of the Chick Lit Writers of America. But while I'm not a shoe girl in the truest sense, I do however have feet. And therefore a need for shoes. And while I don't looooove shoes. There's something I do love: OPTIONS!

That's right. Why go to a store and try on dozens of pairs of shoes and have a salesperson stand there, staring at you, silently wishing you'd make a decision or drop dead and distinguishing between the two less every second when there's a website that offers free to and from shipping and a 60 day return window?

Even as I write this I'm wearing a size 7 black mary jane on my right foot and a 7 1/2 on my right. In a few minutes I intend to switch. Because I'm crazy like that.



2...HGTV...I know this is not really a new obsession, but the lackluster summer TV season has made me more devoted than ever to shows like SELL THIS HOUSE (why people, in this day and age, don't already know to take their commemorative dolls/plates/thimbles/etc. off the walls before they try to sell their houses I will never know!)

Also, I simply can't get enough of MY HOUSE IS WORTH WHAT? Which, personally, the wording of that title disturbs me for some reason, but that doesn't mean I don't shout price estimates at the TV as loudly as I can. Really, it's like real estate "the Price is Right" that way. So what's not to obsess about?


3...Laptops. I lied. So this is probably a little bit writing-related. But not entirely. I simply have to find and purchase a new laptop, but...see #1 above. Somehow I don't think they'll let me bring a few home and try them on before I buy one.




have a great Saturday, everyone. I'll be back tomorrow for day two. That's right: DAY TWO. That's one day away from DAY ONE. And that's one day away from...
