So you know how some women have a thing for shoes? Me, not so much. My footwear can pretty much be broken down into three categories: summer = flip flops, winter = Uggs, running = sneakers (and the heels that collect dust in the back of the closet, but those don’t count).

Last night I joined my first Twitter chat. Honestly, not sure what took me so long to check one out, but when I saw Bart Yasso was going to be answering questions on #AskGreatist and I was home doing nothing (ok, I should have been studying, but we’ll call it a study break!)
