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.

Sun Worshippers

I love those dogs... Jake was out of the frame chewing on some grass.  He's not a sunbather like his brother and sister.  They love having a backyard... all three of them.  Jake loves being free to run and play and the others love just being able to lay out in the sun... can't say I blame them, yesterday was beautiful!

Booger's Bigger, More Colorful Relative

You may remember the car named Booger from an earlier post... well if Booger had a bigger and more colorful relative, this would be it.  This car was in... you guessed it... a Wal-Mart parking lot!  This car did not have a cute name... but I did get to see its owner!  She was wearing a much too tight yellow dress... the buttons probably put someone's eye out when they popped off, as I am most sure they did.  This is why going to Wal-Mart can be worth it!

Zoe on a Road Trip

Zoe got to go to Arkansas this past weekend.  Isn't she one of the three cutest dogs you have ever seen?!  She rode the whole way sitting in someone's lap... well really sleeping in someone's lap.  That dog can sleep... but she is so cute that you just want to eat her!  Love that girl!

My Flying Cubicle

The flight home from South Padre was uneventful until we took off from a stop in San Antonio... the sky was pretty as the sun was setting, but not too long after the sun picture was taken, the clouds started getting a little crazy looking.  The flight into Dallas was ROUGH... but I was glad to be home... if only for a few days!

South Padre Island

I got to go to South Padre Island for work a couple of weeks ago... I know but somebody has to do it!  The room was looking right out over the pool and into the Gulf of Mexico.  It was absolutely the perfect way to wake up!  I love my job!
