**UPDATED: Everything in this post is ok except for the part about, you know, buying shoes. DO NOT BUY SHOES FROM SHOEDAZZLE!**

Today is National Wear Red Day. I know, another stupid made-up holiday in February, but I’m ok with this one because you don’t have to support the greeting card industry to participate in it. National Wear Red Day is all about education. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women. Yes, everyone is affected by heart disease.

So today you can commit to being heart healthy: Eat healthy stuff, move around a lot, and stay tobacco-free.

You can also help fight heart disease by… buying shoes! One of my favorite sites, ShoeDazzle, has this sweet red pump available in February. 10% of the purchase goes to Women Heart to provide education and training for women so that we can take charge of our heart health.

Stay healthy, friends!

This post is in loving memory of my father-in-law, who passed away 2 years ago from a heart attack. We miss you, Charlie.

I did. You didn’t miss much. Here’s my Twitter stream from the night:

The Zac Brown Band just got a new fan. Their opening number was awesome, and I generally can’t stand too much for patriotic songs.

I did not know an acoustic guitar could make that sound. Awesome.

@becs1017 They need to autotune Taylor. Poor thing. #Grammys

@pinkpodster I think it’s more the pitch than the strength. Ugh. Pretty awful. #grammys

@ellenlynch I just said, “Oh, TAYLOR!” with a tone of disgust. (#grammys ) Should probably watch #Emma instead. (more…)
