If you've never shopped at Zappos.com, you should try it. They have GREAT customer service. Really over and above the call of duty. The above shoes (Oh Deer! Marilyn) were ordered by me a few months ago after I drooled over them for forever. When I got them in, they were too big in the heel. Of course! I have a narrow heel, always have, causing me to flip flop out of shoes like a child. Buying shoes for me when I was a child was not easy. My mom hated it.

Anyway, my beloved shoes arrived, I was flip-flopping out of them, tripping around and obviously needed a smaller pair. So, being the huge procrastinator that I am I put the whole box in a corner to deal with "later".

I discovered after a big cleanup, that my friend and saving grace, Melissa, had thrown away the packing box and paperwork and put the shoes and shoebox in the closet. She is used to me having boxes of things around. But, I needed that to return the shoes! So, I thought I'd call and see what I could do. The lady who I spoke to was so sweet. She sent me a smaller size right away. I called on Friday and Monday they were at my door. Then she sent me a return slip so I can ship the too big ones back, "When I get a chance." How awesome is that?

The new shoes fit and I L.O.V.E. them. They are everything I dreamed. Just go on over to Zappos and look for whatever shoe or sunglasses you want. They have tons of brands and there's a SALE! Oh, and FREE overnight shipping! What else could you possibly want?

If you've ever bought anything from Zappos, let me know. How did you like it? What did you buy? If you have not, did I make you interested? Even a little curious?

Amy Winehouse kicks ass. For real. I don't listen to the radio so I don't know if you've heard her or not. But, she's amazing. I kept seeing her and hearing about her and thinking that she looked like a cartoon character.

Then, when i was buying some CDs the other day, my curiosity took over and I listened to the samples. I was just blown away!!

It's jazzy and the beats are great and her vocals are astonishing. I really COULD NOT believe that voice came out of that skinny little punk looking gal with the waaaaay teased hair and the obnoxious tatoos. But, her voice is so amazing and different. That's what I love.

I'm a fan of all different types of music. I love old rock like Fleetwood Mac, Lynard Skynard, CCR, Allman Brothers, etc. I love old country like Willie, Merle, George and Dolly. And new country too. I love old jazz ladies like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. I love pop and rock and alternative and Louisiana stuff. I love stuff like Nirvana, Ozzy, Smashing Pumpkins, Fergie, Justin Timberlake, The Doors, The Who, and my fav Widespread Panic. So, you see, I run the gamut with music.

But, Miss Beehive Winehouse is different and her CD is just fabulous. When I got it in, I was going to get Luke and myself food and I jammed. I didn't want to come home! Luke was on the front porch when I pulled in and he was shaking his head. He does not think it's ok to "car dance" or dance anywhere in public for that matter. And I am really the total opposite. If i'm jamming in the car and I see someone looking- I turn it up and rock on!! Luke knows this. So, when I got out of the car he wanted to know what I was listening to and I told him. He had seen her too but never heard her. He was impressed.

So, have you heard her? What do you think?
