The Toys Are Back In Town!


I am always on the look out for new toys that I can use on the SMART Board.  I found this over sized pencil in the dollar bin at Target a couple of weeks ago.  It was actually intended to be a pencil case, but I saw some more potential in it than that!  Everyone that comes in my office feels the need to pick it up and play with it.  The label reads, "The Toys Are Back In Town."  This catchy little phrase was actually used to promote Toy Story 2 quite a few years ago when I worked at the Disney Store, but it is still fun to use for the promotion of Toy Story 3... I am so excited!  June 18th is just around the corner and I will be there to see it!

It's All In The Details!


My sister-in-law was in town this past weekend.  My mother-in-law and I went to fill her car up with gas before she left Monday afternoon.  I was actually quite amused when I went to remove the gas cap!  Ford recommends BP... wonder if they are secretly going around with an industrial bottle of white out and fixing this new faux pas?  I also thought it kind of funny that the only American auto maker that did not take bailout funds was supporting British Petroleum.  I know that BP paid for that marketing spot, but really?  Ford couldn't convince an American oil company to brand their gas caps?!

Yikes!


Really dude?  Were you going to return those fancy shorts after just one use?  Yes folks, that is a TJ Maxx tag hanging off the back of his britches!  As if that were not bad enough, check out the plaid on plaid combo... AND the athletic no-show socks with his faux Birkenstocks!  Yikes, something out of Tim Gunn's worst nightmare I am sure... even he couldn't say, "Make it work!" to this one!  I am all for a bargain, but when you are fashion challenged, paying the extra money at Gap and letting someone pick out the entire outfit for you is a good idea!

The Best Part of Waking Up...


My new best friend is pictured above.  Keurig is his name.  Coffee is his game.  It is so nice to be able to make just one cup since Lana does not drink coffee.  My new best friend was a gift from some friends and I couldn't be happier with their choice of gift!  Love it!

Don't Be That Guy!


Don't be that guy... don't ever be that guy.  This guy was in such a hurry to get to work the other day (he must have an AMAZING job) that he decided the rest of us should just sit back and wait for him to go by.  He passed me on the shoulder to get in front of me, and nearly took off my front bumper in the process.  That made me mad.  His AMAZING job must pay him really well too...  you can't tell in this picture but there were lots of pieces hanging off of that fancy Scion.  I love commuting but some people make it no fun.  Don't be that guy.
