Mobile Blogging

I’m typing this on my cool BlackBerry, which, while cool is not real conducive to long posts. Kinda just wanted to see if I could update the blog from it. Whaddya know…I can! Now that I’ve proved it, my thumbs are tired. Plus I need to get back to work. Hello from O’Fallon!

First Day!

M started the new job today. And it…is…good. All the technology a boy could ever want, a great work environment, nice people, free coffee…the works.

No sale

There must be something in the air right now that makes all sales people go crazy. I’ve had two bad experiences with people trying to get me to purchase something from them in the last week.

No, I don’t want fries with that.

It’s rare for me, a bonified lover of dining out, to say, “Holy cow, please, can we just eat in tonight?” I have reached that point. In a very short time frame, I’ve eaten at Krieger’s, Mike Duffy’s, Bristol, the Panda Chinese place in the mall, Crazy Bowls & Wraps, Rich & Charlie’s, Trainwreck, Dewey’s, Nobu’s, Pei Wei, and Farotto’s. The food was all fantastic, but I do feel as though I could pop right now.

I need more cake

The day after a really good birthday is sort of a bummer. Kind of a let down. It’s like right after you finish the last brownie in the pan, or, in M’s case, the second you polish off your last ketchup-ham sandwich at Christmas.

O Happy Day

Ahhh, the Big Day. My Day of Birth. The excuse I have for everyone to pay special attention to me! (Because, you know, I like it to be all about me!)

Pre-Birthday Gifts

Sometimes it takes a catastrophic event (like a looming birthday) to shake things up and show you that you’re one of the luckiest girls in the world.

The bright side of a dark day

I subscribe to several different e-newsletters from marketing sources, motivational speakers, etc. One I received this morning had this quote: “I’m smiling because you’ve finally driven me insane.” I think that’s hilarious.
