I just ordered some Orthaheel Slippers to wear around the house. Although I prefer to go barefoot, I'm finding that I occasionally have foot problems that require arch support. How I love to see the UPS guy bringing me a box from Zappos!
AND... I love it when you order something, and Zappos sends you an email that says "WHOA NELLY!!! You've just qualified for a priority shipping upgrade!"

My favorite find this year was wag.com, which ships my dog's pet food for free (plus his salmon oil, treats, and a host of other things) and which is connected to soap.com for household cleaning items, beauty bar.com for all sorts of cosmetics, and a couple of other .coms (casa and books, I believe.) The pet food arrives within two days. There's 20% off your first order, 15% off your second order, and for each order thereafter, you get an amount toward your next order equal to 5% of the total of the former order, good for 2 months. (Was that confusing enough??)

I never have to lug 30 lbs of dog food out to my car and into my house again! Or detergent, fabric softener, yadda yadda. Saves on gas too, since I'm down by 466A and Petco is up north.

Currently on our lanai we have two 80-lb goldens asleep at our feet after their morning walk. (One's visiting us this week.) It's January, it's warm, and life is good!
