BEST OF 2009: Miscellaneous

By 501 Comments

These two products fall in the “Miscellaneous Marvelousness” category…meaning that they didn’t fit in my other categories, but they were too marvelous to overlook. Check ’em out.

Here goes…

Women’s Montecito Boot Leather by Teva

The best shoes are ones that have the perfect marriage of Comfort + Style. Surprisingly, those kind of shoes are hard to find. Often, I’ll find the cutest, chicest heels or boots…only to discover that – ouch! – they’re not really designed for a human to walk in. Or I’ll find a pair of shoes that are pillowy soft, but they’re nothing special to look at (hmph). But when I find the perfect combo, I say “I DO…love them.”

Take, for example, the Women’s Montecito Leather Boots ($140) by Teva. They’re so, so comfortable…but they’re also super hip and modish. Perfect paired with jeans or a skirt.

You can see pictures of me in my boots in my previous post – Oooh. She’s got her new boots on.

Plantronics Voyager PRO

I think I mentioned this before. Tim talks on the phone…a lot. Way more than I do. In fact, I shy away from the phone. If my phone rings, I tend to run into the other room. Okay, not really…but I definitely prefer texting or e-mailing or skyping. I have my reasons, namely the fact that I almost always have a babe in my arms or a preschooler at my side (which means the potential for loud shrieking noises happening during phone conversations is very, very high).

Anyway, all that to say, Tim can be found with the Plantronics Voyager PRO Bluetooth Headset in his ear almost every day. The handy little device helps him to have conversations hands-free…in the car, at home, or walking around the neighborhood. I say walking because Tim paces when he talks on the phone. For reals. That man is *always* moving.

If you know someone who talks on the phone a lot (or if you do), you should check out the Voyager PRO. It has exceptional sound quality (no annoying echoes) and the batteries last a long time. Plus, it’s comfortable to wear and not too obtrusive either. It’s professional and non-showy and such. We like it…or he likes it…whatever…you know what I mean.

    also comfortable.Thanks for the nice giveaway

  8. Those boots would be used daily here, I think. All my current boots are black. What’s wrong with me? lol I think I’m concerned that the shade of brown I choose won’t be just right. If it’s already chosen, I’ll be totally satisfied. :-)

  10. I need a bluetooth! Every time I try to talk with an earpiece (with a cord), my babies pull it right out of my ear by the cord

  11. I would love to win these products. I love the headset. Boots are my favorite fall accessory. I would love to win these boots by Teva.

  24. i would love to win both of these items for my fiance. i can’t ever do enough for the woman i love. have a blessed day.

  25. What I like about the Plantronics Voyager PRO Bluetooth Headset is that it goes right into your ear so you can hear better. I have an older model from about 7 years ago and I am having trouble hearing from it while driving. This model is so much more improved…and Teva shoes are so durable and these boots are great looking as well. I would LOVE to win these.

    Reply

  26. These leather boots would be so great! I don’t have any boots and these sound beautiful! The Plantronics Voyager PRO would be a nice gift to give to my daughter. I know she would be thrilled to get it!

    Reply

  30. Your giveaways are THE best! Especially lately! This would be fantastic because the Bluetooth would be great for my son for driving around all day with his job as a computer tech, and the boots would be wonderful for my daughter who could really use them! Both incredible!

    Reply

  32. I think I love those boots! They look pretty soft and comfortable – I’d probably pair them with a skirt to show them off. Thanks for the chance!

    Reply

  35. I would love to win these boots and the blue tooth as my boyfriend hates calling me when I am driving. I rarely answer my phone but am tempted when he calls! (Yeah this is new love, what can I say?!) Thanks for this fantastic contest.

    Reply

  38. It’s funny b/c when I hear the word TEVA…I think of sandals…I NEVER imagined they would make such cute boots…..

    I’m going to say it…I WANT BOOTS! Hehe!

    Reply

  40. I really love the boots! I think they would look great with jeans and they would get a lot of use here in the snowy northeast! I’m not too much of a phone talker (hands free or otherwise), but I’d love to give the bluetooth a try.

    Reply

  41. I really like these boots and the style of them. Teva makes fantastic shoes and boots and they are always comfortable.
    I don’t own a headset but this one looks perfect for my needs.

    Reply

  43. These are both nice. These boots look like they would be super comfortable. Andyes, the headset is something I should have already been using. Would love it.

    Reply

  45. I am on-the-go all the times with my two toddlers and my bluetooth is my best friend! I think they are a must-have for every mom!!

    The only shoes I own are one pair of casual shoes and one pair of tennis shoes! These boots would be reason enough to go out and celebrate!
    Thanks for another amazing giveaway!

  46. wow what gorgeous boots i also love their Women’s Westwater Leather shoe and the headset would be awesome for my driving teenage daughter :)

    Reply

  47. My wife would love those boots! She’s been looking at a pair for a while now and thinks I haven’t noticed. These TEVA’s are better quality. I could use the Plantronics Voyager PRO Bluetooth Headshet. I’m constantly getting calls while driving around for work and a hands-free device would be more convenient, not to mention safer!

    Reply

  49. My Girlfriend is pregnant. Gongrats to me :) Would love the plantronic bluetooth so she can stop using her phone while driving. Plus as big as her ankles will get within the next few months those boots would fit her perfect. LOL. Hope she doesn’t read this cause i’m in for a hormonal beatdown. Her strength has increased and her anger has escalated severely! With those boots she should be gellin.

  50. I love those boots, they are so cute. My boots are falling apart from all the snow already this year.
    Thanks!

    Reply

  51. I so love those boots. These days I do comfortable footwear only, one of the things that age brought about I guess, or just the need to be able to run after my daughter if necessary!

    Reply

  56. lol – I think its so funny to watch people look at other people weirdly when they don’t realize that someone is on their bluetooth – but instead start talking to that person because they thought the person was talking to them.

    Reply

  57. I would love to win these boots for my wife. I am a disabled carpenter and could not afford to buy Christmas presents this year, and i know she would love the montecito boots. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

    Reply

  60. The Teva boots are very attractive! Boots are a must here in the Midwest, and it is hard to find ones that look good and feel great, too.

    Reply

  61. I never think I need boots until it gets to be cold and then I have trouble finding any that fit or that I like.

    Reply

  62. Now that you can get a ticket in TX for talking on a hand held cell phone while driving in a school zone, the Plantronics would be a money saver.

    Reply

  65. I can’t wear heels due to an injury and it’s really hard to find cute shoes and boots. Love these Teva’s! Very cute :)

    Reply

  66. If I were to win anything that I feel is useful and worthy, it would be something that helps promote the health and safety of our family. That being said, I would love to ‘gift’ to my wife the Plantronics Voyager PRO Bluetooth Headset – because she scares the ‘bejesus’ out of me when we are together and she’s driving and trying to talk on her cell phone at the same time. ;)

  67. I live in snowy climate and these boots would be great for me. My husband could use the bluetooth hands free device.

    Reply

  69. These are JUST what I NEED. I recently threw away my lace-up boots after wearing them for Many years. –I agree that boots that say OUCH are not worth the discomfort and the foot problems one will have later on.

    I will take your word that these are–COMFORTABLE!!

    Reply

  70. I’m not a big phone talker, but when the kids call and I’m in the car, hands free answering is soooo important. I need these boots too because we have 14 inches of snow here. YUCK

    Reply

  71. I’d gift these boots to my daughter for her upcoming birthday. She’d love them! I’ve been wanting a bluetooth, so I can talk to my hubby & kids while I commute to/from work.

    Reply

  72. The boots would love to win for my wife. The bluetooth she would not want so would use myself. What a great contest, something for both of us.

    Reply

  73. This comment is all about an entry for the boots. They look mom- comfy and the leather looks super soft. I do love the look of a boot- yum.

    Reply

  75. ALSO, THOSE BOOTS AS PART OF THIS CONTEST ARE NICE- WOULD MAKE A NICE GIFT TO SOMEONE, BUT I;D KEEP THE BLUE TOOTH DEVICE, COULD SURE USE ONE!!!!

    Reply

  76. its a shame the buga thermo boots sold out at columbia.com all sites! wanted to buy a pair, how can that happen with such a big company, and right before christmas and when it gets cold???

    Reply

  80. Wow this would be the perfect thing to have! i JUST got a new phone that has blutooth and no headset for me. Plus cali has hands free law. And those boots. Need I say more? They are gorgeous!!

    Reply

  81. I bought my daughter boots for Christmas even though I was tempted to keep them for myself as I only own one pair. Teva Boots would be an excellent addition to my shoe wardrobe.

    Reply

  85. Ohhh…..I remember when you did the boots the first time and how cute I thought they were. I’d love to win those. I’ve enjoyed looking back through your “best of” series. Thanks.

    Reply

  92. I’m the first to admit I’m a bit of a chatterbox so the Plantronics Voyager PRO Bluetooth Headset would be great so my hands would be free to do other things! As for the boots, they are stylish & comfy, what more could you ask for?

    Reply

  102. those boots look awesome!!!! I would get black ones!!! and i would gift the blue tooth to my hubby for valentines day

    Reply

  103. The boots look really comfy and durable and cute all at once – not sure if I’d pick black or cigar. Black would go everything but I just love the color of the brown ones.

    Reply

  106. I have seen so many women wearing boots over the last 4 months that I had been planning to buy a pair.. will wait and see if I win this one first…it looks perfect

    Reply

  108. My wife really does talk on the phone, a lot, since it is her connection to folks all over the country. She could use the Plantronics device.

    Reply

  109. I’m a big fan of BOOTS and a big fan of TEVA footwear. And we have had really cold weather this winter so, It’s hard to find what you want and really hard to get lucky and maybe win a pair along with a cool bluetooth to go with it.

    Reply

  111. Teva has wonderful products. I have sandals that I wear in northern wisconsin for EVERYTHING! I am sure the boots will not dissapoint. Just what I need for Wisconsin winters!

    Reply

  118. I bought my first pair of boots this year, they were $7 @ walmart’s black friday sale. I mostly needed them to shovel snow off my driveway. I would really love a cute pair that I could wear around town. It would sure get rid of the strange looks I get when I wear sandles in January!

    Reply

  120. The hands free headset would be perfect for my husband – he is on the phone for work all the time and he really needs one of these.

    Reply

  121. These are adorable boots. I am definitely a boots girl. If I could wear boots all year long and not look ridiculous I would. I also do not have a blue tooth headset and have been wanting one so this would be great.

    Reply

  122. Great contest! I’d love to win these but alas, I’d have to gift them to someone since basically nobody makes footwear in my size. The bluetooth I’d keep though :)

    Reply

  123. Cute picks! I always say that if it is cold enough to wear boots, then it is too cold to take my hands out of my pockets! These are the perfect combination!

    Reply

  127. I love these boots. They look nice enough to wear with jeans in a hurry for a casual look, but rugged enough to stand up during snow shoveling.

    Reply

  130. my lady,,,loves boots.she has 2-pairs and as we all know that is never enough fashion. I would love to win these for her.

    Reply

  131. I do not have any boots, but would like to have a pair of the Montecito boots in Jet Black. The site also has some women’s shoes on sale that I like-the Ventura Mary Janes and the Kiru ballet shoes.

    Reply

  136. What a hard winter we are all having, and everyone needs Boots, and these have STYLE! and look comfortable too.

  137. I see all types of people wearing boots and living in florida you think that would be strange but after the cold we have had I was wishing for some boots. Teva is a very good brand
    I signed the petition a while back for distracted driving so I’m for anything hands free for everyone

    Thank you so much for giving me a chance to be a winner

  138. I still love those boots! I need to get a pair of some kind of long boot soon! Also, I’m still breaking the law (here in CA) by talking on the phone while I am driving, so I also need to get a hands free device!

    Reply

  139. I use to have a pair of boots that looked just like these. They were ruined in a flood helping my neighbors move their stuff.

    Reply

  142. My husband recently got his first real cell phone and I’ve been wanting to get him a bluetooth headset to go with it. This would be great! Thanks for the contest!

    Reply

  143. Boots rock, period! If I’m not wearing boots it must mean it is summertime and I’m wearing sandals. Teva is a great brand, too. Quality through and through. We’ve been wearing the teva brand in this house for years!

    Reply

  146. I haven’t owned a pair of high boots in years. I always loved them, but someone it seemed easier to wear sneaker like boots. These boots look fabulous and I know I’d get lots of use wearing them. Thanks for the giveaway.

  147. I love boots! I tend to alternate between boots and sandals and these look really cute. I also don’t have a wireless headset yet so that would be very useful. Thanks!

    Reply

  148. Those boots look amazing and very durable for long walks. I’d love to wear these anytime between the Fall and Spring months.

    Reply

  150. Having a headset that is wireless would be extremely useful to me. It’s about time I joined the 20th century. I’ve also heard great things about that brand.

    Reply

  151. I need a bluetooth so I can use the time while baby sleeps in the stroller to connect with friends. (When I stop pushing, baby girl wakes up!) Also need one if I want to talk on the phone at all when I drive, (we have hands-free laws here.) But those boots would be sheer indulgence for me.

    Reply

  152. I have been wanting a pair of boots for years now and still have not allowed myself to spend the money on a quality pair. The Teva’s are super cute and I am sure great quality.
    Hands free while driving is always a good idea in my opinion. I usually just use the speaker phone, but with munchkin singing or playing behind me it is not alway easy to hear.

    Reply

  153. I like that they come with a one year warranty. Just this year my current outdoor play boots started to tear at the seams, and with all this snow and wetness everywhere it leads to wet socks, ugh.

    Reply

  157. I have never had a bluetooth but my husband has had on for years and loves it. Maybe I will join the 21st century and either win this one or get one myself!

    Reply

  163. My oldest daughter could REALLY use a Plantronics set. I gave her my old Motorola Bluetooth, but she couldn’t figure out how to sync it with her phone, and before I had a chance to get to her house to try to work it out for her, she had moved and we still haven’t found that darn earpiece. But she makes me nervous – she talks on the phone while she’s driving – a lot – and we all know that distracted drivers are far from the best drivers in the world. A headpiece would at least cut down on the “distracted” part because she would have both hands free. Thank goodness she’s not a texting-while-driving type of driver, because then a headset wouldn’t fix anything. :)

    Reply

  166. Those boots look like they are made for walking. It is good to read that they are actually comfortable. So many are not.

    Reply

  168. i love great comfort matched with style boots. the current ones i have are EARTH boots… wonderful boots that have been with me now for about 7 years… holding up nicely but would LOVE to have a second pair so they could take a break. :D pick me! pick me!

    blessings…

    Reply

  174. I gotta admit I’d rather email or text somebody too! I hate smalltalk…those forms of communication allow you to get straight to the point :)

    Reply

  175. The boots look perfect for jeans and either casual, or slightly dressy top. And I do believe that Plantronics makes the best Bluetooth earpiece.

    Reply

  178. Oooh, what a fabulous giveaway! I’ve been wearing Teva sandals for years; love them! Haven’t had opportunity to try Teva boots yet. I really need to get a new pair ( winters in Michigan, sigh ) but haven’t had the time to get out there shopping for me lately.

    The headsets looks great, too, for any parent. Aren’t we always multi-tasking? Oh, for an hour away from it all….

    Thanks for the opportunity!

  182. I REALLY need a bluetooth so I can drive handsfree.

    TEVA means Nature in Hebrew. Also, most people pronounce it “teeva” but it’s actually supposed to be “teva” (a short e).

  183. Those boots are cute! I have used Plantronics bluetooths before, it is so nice to be handsfree and chatting! Thanks for the contest.

  184. I think the bluetooth is the only way cellphones should be allowed in vehicles. I’ve seen too many accidents with people messing around on cellphones, and the inear bluetooth is perfect to solve this problem.

    Reply

  185. These boots look like they would be very comfortable on me. I have large calves and it is difficult to find boots that fit well. I also could use the Plantronics ear piece in my life.

  188. I didn’t know Teva made boots. They would look great on my feet. Love my plantronics headset at work and would love a bluetooth headset.

  193. I remember when Teva was a little known sandal company used by the outdoorsy folks like whitewater raft instructors. Now their inventory has expanded along with their audience. I’m sure their quality is still just as good so I’d love to try these new boots… maybe I’ll have them for 10+ years like my Teva sandals.

  196. ohhh … both of these prizes would are so awesome !! I am riding a Motorcyle and my Motorcyle Boots are pretty old and beat up and these are hip and stylish and new :)and the Plantronics Voyager PRO Bluetooth Headset would be perfect for riding also.No more missing calls!

  219. This is the perfect prize pack for my husband and I. I would love the boots because I love cute and need comfy with 4 little ones to run behind, and my husband, who always has a phone to his ear, would love the earpiece.

  221. The boots I have are not comfortable so I will be checking out Teva. I love wearing boots I just hesitate buying them because I’m worried about how they will fit and feel after a few months.

    I’m like you with the phone. I’d much rather meet up and talk to someone in person

  236. I could really use these boots. I’ve been fighting plantars fasciitis and could use some good and fashionable boots to wear. Also the bluetooth could help me get so much more accomplished, hands free, as I’m looking to start a home business. Thank you for doing this give away!

    Reply

  237. I too am always on the phone, however not as much as I am on the internet/texting. It seems easier for me to communicate this way.

    When I drive, I like to talk on the phone, which means I could use one of these, so I don’t get in trouble for talking while I am driving.

  238. I love leather boots – as long as they can survive the snow – it seems I’m always trying to trudge through snow drifts in winter

    Reply

  243. Those boots are so fantastic. I’m a big boot wearer and love that their are some great stylish “flat” boots out there. For a long time it was all heels and that just doesn’t work in the snow and ice!

  244. We’re awaiting a big snow storm right now in Ohio and those boots are looking pretty good to me! Thanks for the chance.

    Reply

  245. While I have a hard time imagining myself talking with a bluetooth. I have zero problems with imagining myself walking in the boots. They are so pretty and would be a nice change from the unprofessional clunkers I wear to work most days.

    Reply

  247. Ooooh, those boots are perfect for our Colorado weather. They look super cute and I’m all about the comfort you described. And my husband practically lives on the phone too, so the Voyager PRO would be just perfect.

    Reply

  250. The boots are amazing! As a New Englander my boots tend to be on the side of heavy duty snow treking – never stylish – so I would love these as an option! That they’re from Teva is a great bonus.

    Reply

  251. I’ve been wanting a pair of boots, but it’s so hard to find something stylish and comfortable at the same time. I won’t sacrifice comfort for fashion, and with these boots I wouldn’t have to!

    Reply

  254. I have flipflops by TEVA and LOVE them! I’d wear them 365 days of the year if i could…so i’d love to try these boots to get me thru winter!!

    Reply

  259. Ah, Teva offers such good footwear. I had a pair of Teva sandals for about ten years.

    I’m a very light packer so when I went on vacation two years ago to Charleston I packed a pair of Teva sandals made of suede and a pair of delicate, light Ked’ish sneakers (you kno the kind that can be worn with a skirt, shorts or jeans and look good). Well, we were caught in a rain storm for two days running and I had my freakin fantastic Tevas on. Poor babies, the rain got them. They slowly fell apart when they dried out so now I’m Teva-less.

    Teva = quality so I’m very eager to win these boots.

    I promise to wear them wisely. Scouts honor :)

  260. I live in Southern California and not many cold weather days, but would love the boots for fashion. The headset would be great as it is illegal to drive and talk on a handset in california.

  287. I love Plantronics! Before I got laid off, my job was very phone-intensive. For the past 10+ years (when I first discovered Plantronics), I have been a loyal customer of their headsets for phones. So I can only imagine that their Bluetooth device is high-quality. And don’t even get me started about the Teva boots…they’re just GORGEOUS!! I own a pair of Teva flip-flops — which I love. To be honest, I had NO idea that Teva made boots. I must own these!
    Thanks so much!

  290. Lovin’ those boots! It is so hard to find boots that could be described as both stylish and comfy! I don’t really have a pair in my closet that I could call that. I would so love to give those a try!

  295. On January 1st Oregon outlawed talking on the cell phone and driving. It’s a large fine, so we definitely need a blue tooth around here!

  296. Comfortable and practical boots? I’m all over these! I live in an area where boots several months a year are the minimum. My daughter could really use such a nice phone accessory.

  297. I got a pair of boots with heels last spring but I can’t stand to wear them– I rarely wear heels, and I feel like I’m limping around when I do. I love that these are sleek-looking boots that don’t have heels. I keep seeing everyone wearing boots with skinny jeans and I’ve been to shy to try the trend myself. I might get up the courage if my diet works with the new year….

  300. I just bought a new pair of boots in black, and have been cruisin’ the ‘net for some brown ones and these are really cute! And I know they’d be comfortable because they’re Tevas. I didn’t know they even made boots. Very nice.

    Reply

  302. I so agree about the boots! Usually, if they’re stylish, they’re uncomfortable and not practical. If they’re comfortable and practical, they look like military boot rejects.

  304. I share your difficulty with finding comfy, stylish shoes (who doesn’t?) It would be great to have these boots!

  306. While my hubby is driving back and forth to the airport (1.5 hours one way) he spends lots of his time talking on his phone, so a hands free Bluetooth device is essential! Thankfully he only goes to work once or twice each week. Thanks for the chance!

  307. I absolutely love those boots, I agree with what you say it is very hard to find a boot that offers both comfort and style.

  308. My little sister would die if I won these boots. She keeps telling me to buy a pair of Teva’s. She has told me numerous times that Teva’s are the most comfortable shoes I will ever wear.

  309. I grew up in a climate where boots might look fashionable but they weren’t really necessary. So I never owned any. It’s taken me 8 years up north to realize how wonderful they are in snow! These look fantastic and comfortable!

  311. I love boots without a high heel. at 5’11 i really have no need to be any taller plus its hard to find pants long enough if i wear a high heel. I love that these come in leather and suede! I also though tevas were only sandles so i had to check out their site! Im pleasantly suprised : )

    Reply

  314. I didn’t even know Teva made anything but sandals. I know they’re pretty darn comfortable and I’m sure the boots are too. I’m all about comfort especially while chasing around my twin one year olds. A bluetooth is also really nice, a lot nicer that bending my neck to hold my cell phone

    Reply

  319. Oh my…I love, love, love those boots!! I love boots that have a little bit of a heel, but are still practical and cute. I’m in Minnesota and the sidewalks are covered with a layer of bumpy ice so these would be perfect for getting around. I’m not sure what I would do with the headset, maybe give to my husband??

    Reply

  321. I agree with you. I have a hard time finding comfortable footwear that I can stand to look at. We go a lot of places where we are walking from morning to night. The pain my feet are in by the end of the day is awful. Thankfully, when we go to Kissimmee, we don’t do one park after the other, day after day. We give ourselves one or two days in between to rest our hot tired feet.

  325. I have a pair of Frye boots my husband bought for me in the 1980’s. Still wear them from time to time-they are still in good shape. My daughter asked to wear them out and her friends went crazy over them. they are $300 if you bought them now.

  327. My current boots are pretty functional and not so pretty. I do have one pair of cute boots that never seems to leave my closet, but they are not functional at all, they are more like Fall weather boots versus snow boots.

  339. I totally agree with you about the phone thing… My husband and I call it PTSD (Phone Traumatic Stress Disorder). We have both hate the feeling of getting trapped by the phone and we have a six month old daughter to boot.
    However much we hate the phone, we still manage to always be on it.. the irony.
    The boots sound amazing BTW!

    And any momma has to understand how great anything is that frees up your hands! Awesome!

  423. An Really Bad Ode to all my Teva sandals:

    I’ve worn you near and far.
    I’ve worn you in the rivers and in my car.
    On the tops of mountains and by the sea,
    there is no other place for my feet to be.

    But, you’ve grown old and cracky.
    Even Mr. Blackwell thinks that
    duct tape is just too darn tacky.

    So, here I sit with fingers crossed,
    hoping my inbox doesn’t say, “You lost!”
    I would like to have pretty boots for 2010.
    Then I would never have to see those pitying looks ever again.

    (I know it’s really bad. :) )

  424. Fun favorites! Teva makes such great quality footgear, I can only imagine how comfy their boots are (not to mention totally chic) I would get a lot of use out of them this winter, stomping around through all our ice & snow.

    Reply

  426. My husband so needs this bluetooth. He drives a stick shift so he needs hands-free options more than most. At the moment when I try to call him while he’s working he answers the phone and then says, “I can’t talk, I’m driving!” And then hangs up. Minnesota roads are just too icy to take chances. Even if I don’t win, it’s nice to have a great recommendation.

    Reply

  427. Cool giveaways!

    I desperately need a head set like that because I can’t stand to hold the phone while I drive. I have heard great things about Plantronics and have been researching their wireless USB headset so I can listen to webinars and other stuff online while I get other things done (like dishes LOL).

  431. Seriously, I need a bluetooth because, like you I have a toddler and never have my hands free. I would love to keep in touch with my friends better but when I am trying to multi task like prep for dinner during nap, I need my hands to do the prep but sure could use some conversation while I do it!

I always wonder why he has more clothes on his side of the closet than I do and he won’t let me get rid of any. I get so frustrated when he asks for new clothes because there is no room for new clothes! Ok now I am off topic – I need new shoes because my are all falling apart. As for the headset I use something like this at work and I love it.

    And now that I’m going to be doing a podcast again, I’d like something that allows me to talk and be hands free. That would really help!

    Plus, I adore plantronics. Seriously. They are the best.
