Okay, those of you I texted yesterday?

I lied.

Fireworks in Manhattan Beach are next Sunday. Want to do dinner earlier? I recommend it - the fire department hosts a fund raiser of a spaghetti dinner, and this year the recipients of the fund raiser is going to be the businesses gutted by fire a few weeks ago.

(I'm a CERT volunteer for Manhattan Beach. I also work for Skechers. Put those two things together, and the end result is a lot of very comfortable feelings towards both the fire and police departments in town. The fact my boss is a volunteer for the departments doesn't hurt either.)

Dinner begins about 4:00 or so - $5 per, $3 per for kids. The more, the merrier - and the best viewing. (Took [livejournal.com profile] apositivevoice out for fireworks a couple of years ago - ask her. This stuff rocks!)

ALSO.

If you need shoes, NOW NOW NOW is the time to ask me for them. No kidding. Company is allowing me a lot of holiday-related junkets - mostly what I need is size, gender and age if you're talking about kids. This period has very well-defined deadlines, so please act now. ([livejournal.com profile] elfwench, don't worry about Keeper. He's covered - but I wouldn't mind if if we tried, at least, for you. *winks*)

And now, I get my day underway. Watch me turn into a blur.

This Sunday I was going to be 'iffy'...

Next Sunday? Sure. No problem. =)

As for shoes... *looks over* No, not quite yet. *wry*

I'm still interested in black sneakers.

I'm trying to talk to [livejournal.com profile] virtueandvice because she really could use some but she says she doesn't have the money for it. =\

How does giftie price sound? Seriously. I get a bigger ESPP allowance for December, that's 15% below wholesale.

Come out for fireworks next weekend. Worse thing I can offer is 50% right now.

Not sure if I can make it for fireworks. Next week is finals week. I'll need to be studying. I'll get in touch with you though and let you know. :)

Get the shoe order in if at all possible in the meantime - I still have order space.

yay - i'm at Crystal's and will be in boston until monday am so was worried I was going to miss it. Next Sunday I have plans too, but those are more flexible so I'm hoping I can work something out! Also, will let you know about the shoe situmation.

CRYSTAL'S?!! Hug, kiss and make much of her for me - we love hearing from her, tell her we don't mind getting phone calls (we've just been BUSY this year every time she called - blech).

Hope to see you next Sunday!

I'd tentatively be up for next Sunday.

How much do the shoes run? I'm somewhere between 8 and 8.5 for sneakers.

You're local - the worst thing I can offer is 50% off. You willing to wait, I can do better than that this time of year. Seriously.

Sorry for the delayed response. Exhausting weekend, no time to check email. I'm willing to wait.

How does 50% off outlet store prices sound? Got some time between now and Saturday?

Date: 2006-12-05 09:46 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] redqueenofevil.livejournal.com
Unfortunately, I think because of timing issues, I really unsure that I will have time to do it before Saturday. What I'd suggest for now, is that if you think a sale is coming up sometime in January or later, let's shoot for that.

Sorry to keep you hanging earlier.

*poink poink* Want to go shopping, or shall I order blindly for you?

From: [identity profile] beetiger.livejournal.com
I'm not really close enough to you to ask reasonably...but if you're offering this widely on your list, I've got a toddler boy, 3 years old, size 8 wide or so. Ping me if youneed more info.

Go get them sized, email me the details and a mailing address. Kids, I really work harder at sizing because returns are nearly impossible and kids have three size runs to work with.

Go check our website for ideas -

What's with the shoes deal?

From: [identity profile] kyburg.livejournal.com
This time of year, the company allows me to order more pairs on the employee shoe purchase program. Since I can't wear more than one pair at a time (and neither can Jim), I try to put the extra resources to good use.

This year, the company has hit me with both Family Days and a bigger allowance at the same time. The worst thing I can offer is 50% off - if you need shoes, now is the time to talk to me about getting some. Go out to our website and get some ideas - email me the details. I need at least your size and color preference. If you ask me to pick the style, groovy. If you want to chose the style, the style number is what I need as well.

Happy Holidays to you and yours - you deserve it.

{{hugs}} Thank you! We need to get out of the house some tomorrow anyhow, so we will go down to Shoe Carnival (where they sell Sketchers) and do some trying on and get back to you with a size for me tomorrow. This is really appreciated because for some reason the shoes I got this summer from Wally World are now fitting oddly. And with the shoe inserts, yeah, differences in fit are really noticed.

Oh, I deal with those guys all the time. Be nice to them! *grins* Ask them if they have any styles you like in the extra-wide versions, to allow for the inserts.

You were right about the EW's

Date: 2006-12-03 09:07 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elfwench.livejournal.com
LOL They had one style in the Extra Wide... Well, two, but one had elastic in place of a tongue and I couldn't get my foot in on that account. The lace up one was Premium - EW (Style: 1728EW), size 7EW. And that fit perfectly.

Looking at the web page and judging by what I tried on, and what I see on the web site under EW's these would also work well in size 7EW:


Snow Creek - EW (Style: 76224EW)
Energy - EW (Style: 2250EW)
Soft Stride - Softie EW (Style: 76033EW)

All four have the larger toe box, the wide firm sole, and the sturdy sides and they all lace up with tongues to make it easier to get into.

Thanks again so much! {{hugs}}

Go out to our website, see if you find something (we do velcro. we do no laces at all, matter of fact, in a lot of styles) - email me the details.

What an evil website and selection Skechers has. [livejournal.com profile] chronovius is poking through for stuff for him, I've already found 2pairs of interesting things... it might even lure me away from my Beloved Vans Classic Slip-ons!

Would 2pm or so today be too late to get some kind of order in?

In related news, it looks like I'm coming down to your neck of the woods Thursday morning. ♥

No, not at all. Friday's the deadline -

I'm actually not 100% sure how the weekend is going to go. I'm supposed to start at Sega on Monday. Tad wants me to go to Vegas with him on Saturday, but he isn't returning until Monday. What I do over the actual weekend depends on whether Sega will let me start on Wednesday instead, or whether I can find a rideshare directly back from Vegas on Sunday. If neither of these happen, I will probably stay in LA until Sunday midday. I'll keep you posted.

What's the most common store where I can try on some of the kinds of shoes you have available? I know not all shoe companies have identical sizes...
