Mommy bought me some of the Chocolate Dipped Cinnamon Altoids for my birthday. They're amazing. I'm hoping to get Brit's to special order me some. Still waiting to hear back on that.

I'm also waiting on Brown's Shoe Fit to call me back about ordering these shoes. ~~And I've been waiting (almost a month now) for Joel at Astrokitty to let me know if he can get these figurines.~~ They're on order! Sheesh. Who knew cutting out online shopping would be so difficult? I know I don't live in a booming metropolis, but I found all three of these items with quick and easy Google searches. Is it that much more difficult for retailers to contact their distributors? You'd think with brick-and-mortar stores fighting so hard to stay in business, people would call me back within, oh, four days of my request--if nothing else, at least to let me know that no they can't order the item.

Today's mood is a bit brighter. That's a good thing because the ambient atmosphere of my office can only be described as insanely cold. A lot of people in Wescoe envy my window, and to those people I say: You can have it. It's letting in so much cold air today that I can feel a draft on my hands when I'm typing. The curtain I have (closed) across my window is, I swear, moving in the breeze. The movement is very, very slight, but discernable.

I can't wait to get out of this office. We'll see if it really happens.

I got my gas bill yesterday. I used twice as much gas heating my apartment as I did last January. Twice, almost to the number. Yeah, it's been a chilly one. I'm ready for spring.

EDIT: Y'all need to trot over to

Those are super cute shoes! I'd like some in pink or black, please.

But I'm not sure I believe you that the chocolate dipped altoids are good.

I really wish I could afford the black shoes (the ones I will get) and the two-tone brown ones. I love two-tone shoes, but I don't have enough wardrobe items (or $$$) to justify another pair of brown shoes. Drat it!

I'll bring one down for you with the coffee...That was your plan all along, wasn't it?

>>That was your plan all along, wasn't it?

:D

There are places around town that carry them. I saw them last night at Walgreen's on 6th... at least I think they were the cinnamon flavor. I do know they were covered in chocolate.

I know...I think they have them at Target, too. But I've got this silly "buy locally" thing going on right now. We'll see how long that lasts.

Hey, that's cool. I just wanted to make sure you knew there were place that have them in stock.

Yeah, I do. That's what makes it so aggravating that the locally-owned businesses are totally dropping the ball.

*sigh*

mmmm... mints.

My brain is now craving chocolate covered candied ginger.

oh... they carry GingerPeople items at the Merc, here in Lawrence.

NEWS FLASH. I just now found out that they're making the Ginger Altoids in chocolate covered, too.

*ded*

Whoever sees them first, must get two boxes.
