Hi kelliebellie (or should we now call you kelliebelly - )...it is wonderful you are expecting, but so sorry for the bed rest. Well, it sounds like you plan to take advantage of the time - try to enjoy.

Shopping: I like amazon.com and zappos.com is the best for shoes. Ebay would be worth a try. Pretty much every place one likes to shop has a website these days. Coach, Nordstrom, Patagonia, LLBean, Circuit City, Target, etc... Scary, really, that we don't have to leave home to shop.

Go ahead and start researching your Spring 2007 trip. Maybe you could work on a language course of some type - either online, CD, book or whatever. Perhaps pick where you are going in 2007 for your language choice.

Good luck!

I'm a shoe whore so I second www.zappos.com. You can search by size, color, style, heel heighth and view opinions of other customers who have purchased shoes to get an idea if they run tru to size.

zappos offers free shipping and often gets them to my door in 2 days. If you don't like your purchases you get back on their website, pull up your order, indicate which shoes you will be returning and you simply print off a shipping label calculated from your order and return shipping is on them as well. Oh, and you have 365 days to return shoes in new condition and in their original box. Wow!

Kellie, I feel for you! My daughter in law was in the hospital for six weeks before our grandson was born. I discovered this website and really like it! Best wishes for a healthy delivery.

Kelliebellie:
Hi! I just realized you responded to a post of mine about favorite toiletries. I am also a fan of Burt's Bees. I just discovered them. I LOVE their lip shimmer, and the plain lip balm. I'm also crazy about the almond oil hand cream. Let me know what your favorites are. Where do you buy them? I haven't bought anything online from them yet, just from Walgreen's. But, I've heard great things about the Marshmallow Vanishing Cream. Let me know when you've got time (ha ha, I know you have a lot of that!) Thanks, Margot

I love the hand salve. They have little trial tins of it, so I keep one in both cars and in coat pockets for winter hands. And their colored chapstick is a great alternative for lipstick in the winter. And I think it is their carrot lotion that smells so good. I want to try their foot creams too, but I want to smell them all first and I don't know when they will let me leave the house!

We have a fancy local grocery store that carries it, but they might have it at Whole Foods and I know that Borders Books carries it.

drugstore.com just sent me an email saying they are having a sale on Burt's Bees products - another on-line shopping opportunity.

kelliebellie: call or email customer service at Burt Bees, tell them you are on maternity bed rest and interested in their products and see if they will send you some samples to smell/try - you never know....

I had to wean myself off:

www.BlueFly.com

because I was spending so much money.

My other favorite travel site is Travel To Go off EZBoard.com and www.FlyerTalk.com
