who needs blogher???**

…when your tailor buys you a snickers bar!!

(“he felt the establishment owed him a snickers bar” what movie? anyone? anyone?)

i bought some new jeans recently. for some reason, and i cannot for the life of me figure out why, none of my jeans were fitting. a closet full of 18 pairs…and not one that fits.

so, new jeans it was. but i didn’t want to spend a lot of money. someone tipped me off to a $39.99 sale at the gap. now, granted, i haven’t been in a gap that had sizes over 6x in at least 2 years….but $39.99 was a price i could live with. and so, i came out with some jeans that, of course, my 5 foot 1 1/2 inch body needed shortened. badly.

so, off to my best friend at Clubb 10 tailors. seriously, i love him. and his entire family. they are so nice. they are cheap. they can do an original jean hem like no one’s business (seriously, you can’t even tell that they’ve been shortened). and they are quick. what more could you ask for in a tailor?

oh, and yesterday, he gave me a snickers. just like that. he had sent his niece to get him some chocolate and told her to get one for me.

now that’s some good customer service.

**actually, i’m so bummed that i’m not there right now. that i didn’t get to road trip it with miss vodkarella and solo mom. that i didn’t get to room with karen and sarah and jenn. i won’t even start with the linky love of all the people i was hoping to lick meet….the list is ridiculous.

i am, however, getting a pretty good consolation prize. a guest posting gig over at Izzy‘s tomorrow. so, i guess if i can’t violate her in person, i may as well enjoy violating her site. so, come on over and see me there tomorrow and say hi!

oh, and PS…my kids are friggin cute:

Totally bummed about BlogHer now. LOL I never thought I would be. But I am.

Get in Second Life! It’s pretty fun!!!

[ 27 Jul 07 ]

Your kids are friggin cute. And, I want your tailor!

[ 27 Jul 07 ]

Wow. They are frigging cute.

[ 27 Jul 07 ]

I don’t get how none of your jeans fit. You’re TEENY. Your old nanny must have played a trick on you or something….. ;)

the kiddies are SO FRIGGIN CUTE!!!!!!!!

[ 27 Jul 07 ]

I love those white shirts on your daughters – cute!
And yeah, there’s nothing like a Snickers bar from the tailors. I get candy from the chainsaw shop guy, which is ALMOST the same.

[ 27 Jul 07 ]

Your kids are super cute. We’re sad you aren’t here.

[ 27 Jul 07 ]

Not only frigging, but FRACKING cute.

THAT is GREAT customer service! I think handing out free chocolate and candy bars to customer should be the new standard. “Do you want a Mars or Godiva with that?”"PMS? Oh, here’s a bag full of chocolate”

How cute are your kids!!!

[ 28 Jul 07 ]

Here from Izzy’s and couldn’t resist posting because OMFG those are some of the friggin cutest kids I’ve ever seen!

[ 28 Jul 07 ]

*I meant commenting, not posting :-P

[ 28 Jul 07 ]

Gosh they are sweethearts. We should try to get together once I get back from the cottage….I’m sorry you aren’t here tho – it’s been nuts, but fun mostly.

I loved that quote from Reality Bites. I used to love Ethan Hawke since he was in Explorers. Have a great weekend.

[ 28 Jul 07 ]

I was so excited reading through the comments, thinking I was going to be the first and only one to know that it was from _Reality Bites_ . . . but somebody beat me to it . . .

I’m still pretty proud of myself, because I almost NEVER know cultural references like that.

[ 28 Jul 07 ]

i wish i were there too! we could have roomed together and gone around licking folks as a gruesome twosome. ;)

[ 29 Jul 07 ]

What we should have done was met halfway between Toronto and Ottawa and had our own BlogHer on the 401. Next year. Waddya say?

[ 29 Jul 07 ]

I’m ultra jealous of your tailor. Wish we had someone like that around here. Most of ours do a sub-standard job.

Maybe BlogHer next year??????

[ 29 Jul 07 ]

Your kids are adorable! I am staying home, too, commiserating with those mamas who are blogging from home instead of from Chicago’s Navy Pier.

[ 29 Jul 07 ]

I’m ever so pissed I didn’t get to go to BlogHer. Shall we meet there next year? What says you?

[ 29 Jul 07 ]

I went to Blogher and we missed you, I kept looking around going where is Ali???

I have to say there were some hi and lows to the conference, you were missed but you didn’t miss anything that you can’t get next year. YOU BETTER BE THERE NEXT YEAR!!!

Also LOVE THE PICTURES!!! TOO CUTE!!!

REALITY BITES!

I know, I’m not the first to get it. And I’m way late getting here, wading through a week’s worth of Google Reader (not b/c I was at BlogHer). Love that movie…

Next year! Next year, we’ll all go to BlogHer.
