Long Weekend at Blue Lakes

Erik, Alabama dog, and I took last Friday off work and headed for the mountains to camp at Blue Lakes, one of our favorite campgrounds in California. Located near Kirkwood at about 8,000 ft, it is just beautiful, and we were excited to see patches of snow scattered around. We even had some in our campsite.

Everyone needs an Alice.com

I first heard about Alice through this post of Penelope Trunk’s back in March and I have been interested in the company and eagerly awaiting it’s launch ever since. Yesterday I received the word and in an instant I was staring at the very lovely Alice beta.

I have this thing about, or even a hatred for, waiting in long, annoying lines at the checkout at places like Longs Drugs and Target. Call me impatient, but I like to call it “evolved.” Alice allows you to order all your household items online, as well as manage your inventory and reorders (so that you never run out of toilet paper), and offers coupons, very competitive prices, and FREE SHIPPING. I am SO excited that I never have to walk back and forth up an aisle comparing prices of paper towel ever again.

Check out this recent post on the Alice Company Blog to read the news about the company’s launch for yourself, do the happy dance if you feel so inclined, then create your account at Alice.com.
