I’m going to do a quick bullet point entry, because I just got a new batch of Netflix movies in, and I want to watch them.
- I got a really nice Christmas card from Amy yesterday. She’s got a lot going on in her life right now, so I thought it was really sweet that she took the time to send a card to my family. (Special note to Amy…I meant to comment earlier on your forum entry, but I got sidetracked at work. I’m thinking of you, hang in there woman!)
- The guy I was a Secret Santa for at work walked off the job on Tuesday, so I had to scramble to find out who his was, so I could take over the duties. I went to
hellthe mall after work and bought my new person the cologne that he listed on his “interest sheet,” Ralph Lauren Explorer. Thank the heavens above I don’t work around him. It smells like butthole. - I am about 3/4 of the way done with my Christmas shopping. Express shipping is expensive. I don’t know why I wait year after year and spend more money on shipping than gifts. I need to get my act together next year. It’s ridiculous.
- And here’s a special Christmas greeting from me to you. Don’t say I never gave you anything.

I’m going to be able to say that out loud one day, seriously!
In the meantime, I read the following celebrity sighting on Perez’s blog and drooled:
The fan said, I was behind Eva Longoria in line at Target in San Antonio this morning and she spent over $12,000!!! How in the world does someone spend $12,000 at Target?!
Oh, I would find a way! I would KILL to spend $12,000 in Target. OMG, can you just imagine all the cool shit she bought? Just reading that gives me the shakes.
Could you spend $12,000 at Target in one trip?

They say customer service is dead, but I beg to differ. There is one company where customer service is alive and well, and going beyond the normal call of duty.
Check out this article, and make sure to read the comments. This is just another great example of why I am so proud my husband works for such a wonderful company.
When I came home this last time, I had an email from Zappos asking about the shoes, since they hadn’t received them. I was just back and not ready to deal with that, so I replied that my mom had died but that I’d send the shoes as soon as I could. They emailed back that they had arranged with UPS to pick up the shoes, so I wouldn’t have to take the time to do it myself. I was so touched. That’s going against corporate policy.
Yesterday, when I came home from town, a florist delivery man was just leaving. It was a beautiful arrangement in a basket with white lilies and roses and carnations. Big and lush and fragrant. I opened the card, and it was from Zappos. I burst into tears. I’m a sucker for kindness, and if that isn’t one of the nicest things I’ve ever had happen to me, I don’t know what is.
The Customer Who Got The Flowers From Zappos
Something big is happening at Zappos.com today, but I’ve been instructed to keep it on the down low until it actually happens, so I can’t tell you. HA! I’m such a tease. It’s exciting and so cool, and I can’t wait to spill the beans about it.
But I can share this Zappos commercial - I love it!
