A beautiful vertical indoor garden created by Danielle Trofe. I found this when I was looking at a page that displayed her hourglasses that used the kinetic energy of falling sand to light up an LED.<br />

<br />
I ordered well before the 1 pm EST deadline.<br />
<br />
I saw my order pop up in my email account. It accidentally went to my home address instead of my work address. I tried a live chat with a customer service rep, to see if I had time to change it.<br />
<br />
For whatever reason, they showed that my order was cancelled. Well, I certainly didn't cancel it. Nor did I receive an email notification telling me my oder was cancelled.<br />
<br />
Fine. I'll wear them to the holiday part on Friday. Well its 4 pm the day before the party. My shoes still aren't here, and they say they are out for delivery. Live chatting with yet another customer service representative.<br />
<br />
She says that my shoes are available for pick up at the downtown store. WTF?!!! I paid $15 for same day shipping.<br />
<br />
Nordstrom, your same day delivery failed for me twice on the same product. I'll be using Zappos Online from now on.Cyndy Eng-Dinselhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04235743836097258331noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34703183.post-7186702600367951352012-06-04T14:28:00.002-07:002012-06-04T14:28:44.482-07:00Weird way to mourn your cat.<br />

I was much more pleased about how it went, then the exercise I went through during a SolutionsIQ scrum training I went through a few months before. I felt like we were better organized and explained things a little better, and kept people to actually using the scrum/agile process.<br />

I wasn't really interested in doing it myself then. My husband has recently been interested in creating one of this own.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have finally become interested not only in terrariums, but aeriums as well. Its tough to search on, but an aerium uses air plants. </div>

I am finishing up my women's league draw as I type. I am managing Seattle Granite Curling Club's Wednesday night league this year. It's been insane.<br />
<br />
I took a Learn to Pebble class today to refresh my memory from last year, where I didn't use my newfound knowledge. A quick trip home to walk the dog, pick up the vacuum cleaner from the repair shop, and back to the club to help with an open house.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow a curling conditioning class and prep for next weekend's Western Women's Competitive Curling Clinic. If there are people who are interested, there is still room.

Jeremy is taking a snooze. I'm headed there soon after.

I went in for a bike fitting, to ensure that I get the maximum energy out of my body when I bike, and to avoid injuring myself.<br />
<br />
He put on my clips and cleats. He adjusted my seat height an additional 12 mm. He watched me pedal, and recommended that I keep my feet parallel to the ground. Without cleats, I've been pointing my toes towards the ground.<br />
<br />
In two weeks, I will see him again, and he will be changing out my handlebars for shorter ones.<br />
<br />
This evening I met with a sleep specialist. I have an appointment in a couple of weeks to determine if my snoring causes me to be sleepy, if I don't get enough sleep at night, or if I potentially have narcolepsy or one of the other crazy sleep issues.Cyndy Eng-Dinselhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04235743836097258331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34703183.post-53398488461925914542011-09-08T08:19:00.001-07:002011-09-08T08:19:55.975-07:00Ouchee.Not broken, but sure feels like it this morning.<br />
