New Favorite Things

Frequent flyers out there have probably heard of Hipmunk. I use it and love it. Now Hipmunk will integrate your Google Calendar entries to help you avoid conflicts. Definitely a new favorite thing for me.

Looks like I may need to get some slip on shoes for post hip surgery (no tying shoes for a long time). Any favorites? I have a pair of Birkenstocks but since it will be winter, I thought sandals might be a little chilly. Guess I can always get more smart wool socks.

I recommend these. I have a pair and think they are money well spent.

They also make slides, if that is more your thing (it might be easier to slip on). I have tried the slides and they seem to be better than other slides out there:

As an expert on all things having to do with crutches, I strongly advise against shoes with no back at all, as they will slip a bit as you shuffle around, making walking harder, if not more dangerous. I'd go with a slip on, but with a back or at least a strap. You can use one foot to get a shoe off the other foot, and if you need help putting them on, that's what your husband/friends/co-workers/student minions are for.

Thanks for the advice, crutches expert Vicki. :) I got a pair of Vans slip on tennis shoes. Maybe I'll buy a pair of Milano Birkenstocks as well since they have a strap and my pair is pretty old. I am a little worried about taking off shoes and putting them on. It even hurts my hip a little right now to slip of my left shoe with my right foot. :(

Don't have cable and just discovered a favorite new (for me and area) occasional old thing - over the air TVLand-like Me-TV. Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, M*A*S*H, etc.

It's vietnamese style iced coffee...I'm using various coffees from oldbisbeeroasters.com, vietnamese style (prepared as identified above)

When I make hot coffee, I either use a good drip machine (from zojirushi), an aeropress, a french press, or a moka pot
