Not Today
Nothing worthwhile happened today, it wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t really good either. So instead of telling you about my day, I will tell what I would’ve liked to happen today. I would’ve slept in much longer than usual to get in some extra rest after a very long week. Then I would have made…

Monthly Massage
We’ve started having a massage therapist come to our office once a month to help us all work out the kinks. Sitting for hours upon hours, working on a computer is not what the human body was meant to do. This has been so nice and pretty much everyone in our office suite loves it.…

Thanksgiving Potluck
Anyone who works in an office environment typically experiences the holiday potluck, but here is my question: Do you try to replicate the holiday feast? Or do you try to bring something out of character for that holiday meal, so as to avoid burnout? I am on the fence about this one. Truthfully, even if…

Hot Buttered Rum
This is my new favorite winter drink. I’ve only made them once and I think there is still some experimenting that needs to be done to figure out the perfect balance, but here is the jist: You take a thin slice of butter and mash it together with a tablespoon of brown sugar, add a…

Cute in her own way.
As I sit on the couch, typing away on my blog. Scarlett sits just to the right of me on the floor. She faces me, staring intently at my face. Every few seconds she wobbles from side to side, letting me know that she is ready to be picked up. Totally ready. Yup, I’m still…

Happy Birthday, Daddeo
Today is my father’s birthday. Love that guy. I really have an awesome family and my dad is no exception. He’s a very talented, fun and cool guy. And when I say that I probably mean at least 5 times more than you are imagining. He’s a fine artist, a graphic designer, a teacher, a…

A Cuppa Bux
Working directly above a Starbucks has done well for my coffee habit over the last few years. We generally make at least 2 trips down there per day. At first I was getting the fancy dancy coffees and loving them, but after a while I figured it would be better for my waistline and my…

An Ethnic Buffet
Today was a mix of delicious culinary offerings that just happened to come together perfectly. For breakfast, I feasted on a friend’s mother’s homemade tamales, which were wonderful! For lunch, a large cancelled gathering offered a Thai feast with several delectable dishes. I’m still stuffed from that one. For dinner, we ordered up Z-Pizza and…
