Review of Piperlime Shoes
Thursday, 24 July 2008
I have purchased 6 pairs of shoes from www.piperlime.com . I have had to return one pair and exchange two others due to sizing. Not only is the return shipping free but I have never had an issue and my account is credited withing a week. Great store. Beats the crap out of Amazon's return policy.

My Black and White Wedding..

While the wedding day itself was a really long and exhausting day, the decor ended up looking perfect. I made all of it myself so I could spend more money on things that mattered like "Thank You" gifts and upgrades to my home. Here are some photos from the reception. All the projects are simple to do and inexpensive as well.

Today's duties include putting the laundry room back together and yard work.
This is my last day of domestic hell. I can't wait to hand back over the "Honey Do" list. I don't want to be the "wo-man" any longer. I am tired. I need a foot rubbing and a hot tub. Okay, I'd settle for a stiff drink and a long shower.

Sunday, 25 May 2008

Flyer Miles.. What a joke.
Tuesday, 20 May 2008
I made the mistake in "believing" that flyer miles were a great "reward" for spening money. Four years ago, I started two Alaskan Airline credit cards and an Alakan Airline debit card. I was determined to go as far across the globe as possible, when the time came. Well, the time came and my miles are worthless.
