A couple of things...

I love it when I find a gift card I forgot I had. I found an It's a Grind gift card in my purse a couple of weeks ago when I was cleaning it out. I assumed there was a buck or two left on it since it wasn't in any special place in my wallet. I usually keep things like loaded gift cards in a certain spot in my wallet. I walked into It's a Grind this afternoon, needing a little pick me up, and handed my gift card to the girl at the counter. I told her I wasn't sure what was on it so she said, "No problem," and swiped the card. After my purchase I had over $14 still on the card. Sweet! I have emergency It's a Grind $$$ when I get to go back to work.

Dr. Scholl is my feet's lifesaver! I bought a pair of cute black shoes that I can wear with slacks last week. Kyle and I had an event to attend Saturday night, so I thought that would be the perfect time to break them in. I figured this was a sit-down sort of deal so there wouldn't be a whole lot of walking. My flat feet don't handle new shoes very well the first time around, especially if they aren't sneakers. Well, let's just say there was A LOT more walking than had been anticipated and by the end of the evening, my feet were screaming at me. I was a little annoyed because I figured if my feet were this sore after one evening, there would be no way my feet would survive a day at work in these shoes. *sigh* So, today I went to Target and picked up some Dr. Scholl's gel inserts. "Aaahhhhhhh!" (Heavenly choir of angels singing) I could run around all day in these shoes now!

And now for something stupid:

I bought a curling iron today as well. The one I had been using kept shutting off on it's own. New curling irons usually come with warning tags that often say something to the effect of "Do not use while bathing." or "Do not use while sleeping." I was always amused by these warnings because someone (and it's usually more than just one person's stupidity to constitute a warning label) had to have done these things and gotten injured. My new iron had a new warning label which read "Caution: This product can burn eyes." ?????? Really?
