Apparently, if you live in snoburbia, and walk your dog in the neighborhood park, the following question is not considered inappropriate: "Who is your breeder?" (You can't get a labradoodle* or goldendoodle at the pound, after all.)

*Astute reader and goldendoodle owner F. says this happens to her all the time. Personally, I am not a dog person, and I think any self-respecting dog should not allow itself to have "doodle" in its name.

You know how that truck comes to your house in the snoburbs and picks up all your stuff and takes it away for you?
Well, I then go to the thrift shop and buy that stuff for $1.99 or $4.99. I lovvvve thrift shopping. We have a huge thrift shop that sends trucks into the heart of snoburbia to retrieve loot.
My most recent, epic haul: Lucky jeans that fit like a glove, $4.99; orange cashmere turtleneck, $3.99; Adidas like-new sneakers that I've always wanted, $6.99; Gap black jacket, $4.99; brown cowboy boots that I'm going to cut off at the ankle, $4.99; and REI down bootie slippers, $1.99. And for the kids and husband: J. Crew khakis, $3.99; Nike basketball shoes, $4.99; North Face polarfleece, $1.99; Levi's skinny jeans, $2.99; American Eagle hoodie sweatshirt, $4.99; Under Armour shirt, $.99; and Calvin Klein pajama bottoms, $2.99.
I have friends who won't set foot in Wheaton Plaza, let alone a thrift shop. My gain, suckas!
