A: Why are all the Nordstrom shoes I like close to $200 on sale?  Freakin’ expensive taste is a curse when you make what I make.
S: I hear ya.

Just so you know—if you decide to order online, go through the delta sky miles store—you get 5 miles/dollar.

A: For Nordys sale??

S: Yep.  It’s one of their retailers.  You just go to skymilesshopping.com, and then look at the merchants and if you click the Nordstrom’s link it just takes you to the website.  But you have to buy during that session or it forgets you came from sky miles

A: Well in that case… $200 shoes here I come!

Ha, JK I wish.

S: I know right?  Maybe one day when I have a bajillion dollars and my dream closet.

Have I ever told you about my dream closet?  It’s pretty sweet.  And rather detailed.

A: I don’t believe you have!

S: Well, one day when we have time I’ll have to draw you a picture :)  I always thought it was funny, because when me and C would talk about our “dream whatevers” in the future, hers was a kitchen and mine was a closet… oh priorities.

A: That’s great.  If I had the money to back my expensive clothing taste I would opt for a closet too.  I like cooking as well but not as much as I like clothes.

I’m trying to find some comfy and cute shoes for Neocon since I’ll be on my feet all day.

S: Oooh.  Very wise.  And excellent excuse also :)

A: What are the comforatable shoe brands?  Like clarks, born, etc. but that are cute.  Borns are cute but limited.

S: Most of my comfortable shoes required breaking in.  But I can totally wear them all day.  I really like the BP flats.  Those have been some of my favorites.  My mother likes Clarks.  I’ve never been a number one fan, but they suit her.

A: Yeah Clarks are totally for moms but they are comfortable.

S: I don’t know why, but it really struck me as funny that EB is using Alaska for advertising.

A: Haha that is funny.  It’s almost like Abercrombie for adults.

S: I know right?  *sigh* I guess in Washington it kind of is… weird.

A: Did they start in Washington or do a lot of people just wear their stuff?

S: Both.  It’s kind of that “outdoorsy meets every-day” look that Washingtonians love.  And it started in Seattle.

A: Makes perfect sense.  I’d always get my parents clothing from their outlets at Christmas time. 

Oh how I’d give my left arm for outlet stores up here. 

Okay maybe not but I really want them! 
S: I know exactly how you feel.  When I go home, I a little bit live at mine.  But it’s kind of bad at the same time because it’s super easy to convince yourself to buy things.

S: DO you remember those?  Because you should.

A: Oh totally.  Considering I wasn’t even alive. 

S: I know right?  I’m pretty sure that he is a few years older than my parents. 

A: Haha I think he’s around the same age as my dad.  His mannerism is just like him sometimes.  Its uber scary.

S: Now that’s just right weird.

A: I did a little googling.  That is the Jewish Center across the street.  Didn’t get much on the day camp or what that mystery word is but that would explain the lack of blondes. :)

S: You racial profiler you…

A: It’s really just an observation that fits with a stereotype……………

S: :) that’s okay—because I mostly made the observation because I wondered if they were all Jewish….

Gah!  I have nothing to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This is the worst.

A: Touché.

Me either! Blah.  Lets skip work and go to Nordstrom.

S: Oh man.  Now that you mention it, that sounds like a really good idea…..

A: Did you study much of other religions in school?  Do you know about Lubavitch Judaism anyway?  Just curious now.

S: I studied a few other religions.  I believe Lubavitch is the most common branch of orthodox Judaism.

A: Yeah that’s what I got out of Wikipedia but didn’t know if I was missing anything else.  I hope the kiddies come out soon so we can watch them again and have somewhat of an entertaining 15 minutes.

S: I know right?

Have you ever noticed how loud he is on the phone?

A: Yes. Everytime.

S: I was filling out my time card today and was dismayed to discover the number of office admin hours I have.

A: Yuck, I know.  It’s not cool. I had 7.25 yesterday.  Today I got in about 3 hours of billable time so that’s a little better.  At least I get to leave at 4 again today for the doctor.  Lucky you getting to work on a lock plan!

S: Do we get to bill time for a lock plan?  I know we can’t to review drawings.

A: BTW this email chain is getting close to 3 months old…

S: I think we should have a three-month-iversary party for our email.

A: That sounds perfect because its right before we go out of town.  It will be a double celebration of the email and not coming into the office for a few days!

S: Ah!  I love it!  I’m pretty sure one of my favorite past-times is to throw parties for obscure reasons.

A: Why not celebrate the little things in life?  I think we should bring food of some sort.

S: For Friday June 10?  I agree we should either bring food or go somewhere delicious…

A: I say we bring breakfast aaand go somewhere for lunch.  MT or BT or Sis’s or ???

S: Oh my heck, you missed out!

G called a radio station to find out if he could still listen to them while he was in Soldotna.  “I was calling to find out what the coverage was, I’m going out of town to Soldotna this weekend…”  Wow.  Really?
