My LOVE for day #7 is Online Shopping. I realize it is a headache to a lot of people (not knowing how things fit, or how they really look once they arrive) but I LOVE it! I have found great success (and a lot of awesome deals!) I realize paying for shipping is a waste of money, but I always try to find a free shipping code or a certain percentage off.
Maybe the reason I am so fond of making purchases online is my kids are not what I would call 'fun to take to the store.' I spend more time convincing them to get out from under the racks of clothing or to stop pulling all the books off the shelves or to stop chasing each other all over the store! I leave the store a sweaty, stressed-out, mean mom who vows to never take my kids shopping again. (Which is a vow that never lasts long!)
I LOVE to look at things on the Internet (with my kids playing rowdy around me, and nobody cares). Of course there are certain stores which are a MUST to visit the brick-and-mortar location. I just have to buck-up and only go there when I really feel like shoving my kids full of candy and bribes. (Even then we are in and out!)
My absolute favorite online shopping store: endless.com. I LOVE this store! Fabulous shoes, free OVERNIGHT shipping (and return shipping!) This store takes the guessing game out of online shopping; if the shoe doesn't fit...just return it (for free!) And it provides immediate gratification. I can order something one day and the next day it's on my doorstep. Is it bad that when the doorbell rings in the afternoon Myka runs towards it saying, "oos, oos"? (That's shoes for those of you who don't know how to understand the Myka lingo)!
I LOVE online shopping and the pleasure of opening a box to see what I have bought (a week or so ago)! Or maybe it's just plain shopping that I am in LOVE with! Either way, I LOVE it!

As I was reading your blog I was thinking we need another girls' weekend shopping trip. Maybe after tax season we can plan something fun! P.S. - I am almost positive that you can get the egg-cooker at Bed, Bath, and Beyond or maybe online somewhere. Mine is a West Bend brand.
I'm only brave enough to do online shopping for the kids like from old navy where I know for sure the sizes and everything, but maybe I should give endless.com a try. Free overnight shipping sounds too good to be true. And I agree, having a package show up at your door is like christmas.
And about texting....I actually just texted you a couple of days ago. And I've called your cell like 2 or three times this week. Maybe you've changed from the number I have- 801-367-9298. Is that right?
I am starting to grasp this online shopping thing and it is pretty cool. Although I am learing that I can only buy things for my kids or shoes. I have bought some things for me and a handful of them don't really workout and I am too lazy to send them back (I obviously got a good deal on them and didn't want to bother returning them). I love to buy my running shoes online...such a bargain from buying them in the running stores:)
