Shoe Shopping

I had an AWESOME weekend!<br /><br />The birthday celebration continued!  I had a shoe-shopping date with my friend Margie Friday afternoon.  I've found that as the weight has started to come off, I care more and more about the way I look.  I want to look <i>nice</i>, not just presentable.  I could have a nice outfit on, but then the shoes I've paired with it are all wrong, making the whole ensemble look terrible.<br /><br />Not anymore! <br /><br />In very recent history, I've had some amazing luck at Payless with their flats.  This time around, I was in search of sandals for summer, and sandals I did find!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I'd like to follow last night's chat on <a href="http://t.co/jxknGXL4">tweetchat.com</a> How do I access all the chat & remove smart pausing message?<a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23edchatsa"><s>#</s><b>edchatsa</b></a>” </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-not-install-and-use-tweetdeck-for.html" title="http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-not-install-and-use-tweetdeck-for.html"></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Up to that point I had only been using a free programme called Tweetdeck for Twitter chats.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> I wrote a blogpost on how to use Tweetdeck last month  <a href="http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-not-install-and-use-tweetdeck-for.html" title="http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-not-install-and-use-tweetdeck-for.html">http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-not-install-and-use-tweetdeck-for.html</a></span><span style="font-size: small;">  The reason I enjoy using Tweetdeck is because you can have a whole host of hashtags open and can follow where you wish. But I have to admit - this can be distracting at times. <br /><br />After liaising with Philemon who said he had Tweetdeck installed but felt he would prefer to use Tweetchat,  I decided to explore Tweetchat. I discovered that Tweetchat doesn’t need to be installed as it is completely web-based. It also allows you to focus completely on the hashtag you are interested in. So, this is how it works:</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Instructions </span></b></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1.
