Last night - after browsing for hours - I purchased a pair of Black Leather Shoreham Uggs from Zappos.com. By "last night," I really mean night. As in after traditional business hours. After I'd expect anyone other than a computer to respond to my order. Indeed, within seconds I received the traditional "Thanks for your Order!" computer-generated email.

This morning, I saw a second email from Zappos.com, this one saying "Your Order will Ship Today!" It appeared computer generated, and while it was sent only a couple hours after my order, it was super late at night, so I figured their "today" meant the next business day, like today - Thursday, August 28th - not the "today" of the email date.

But when I went outside, my shoes were on the porch.

Apparently, my beautiful clogs hopped the plane last night, exactly as the email had said. "Today" was really "yesterday," and somehow they reached me this morning.

The shipping insert says "your order was packed and shipped by Benjamin K. and Leia S." So to Benjamin and Leia - thank you for working so darn late last night.

As for the shoes themselves, OH MY GOSH. Don't tell Husband, but I think I'm going to order another pair of Uggs. They are THAT comfortable. The ones I bought have the sheepskin around the entire foot, but then it is an open back. I think I'll purchase some of the boot-type ones for winter. Both boys have already commented on how soft my new shoes are, and they are thus lobbying to have their own. Believe the hype. Uggs are amazing.
