A tip.

It's Sunday night. Which means tomorrow is Monday. I ALREADY have a case of the Mondays. I feel all sorts of complain-y already. So hopefully I have a change of attitude between now and then.



So in an effort to pump myself up for another work week, I feel it's time to unleash a list I've been compiling for some time. It's email addresses. Clients email addresses. You may think that email addresses arent exciting, but when you see my list, you'll thank me for the work I did to record them for you.



These are the emails always catch me off guard when I go to confirm them with customers. When I see the email we have one file, I am either so delighted at the awkward situation I could create that I read it back to them out loud: "so is your email still oh.so.prima.n.propa?"OR I am so uncomfortable by them already that I cant have my usual fun.



Regardless of my reaction, I make note to write it down, in hopes of one day writing this blog to share them with all of you.



And so.... I bring you awkward emails of north idaho.

moral of this story: if you have a really awkward/embarressing/inappropriate email address (you know, the one you created in 6th grade as your first screen name, or the one you may have given out to send off a certain "vibe"), create one just for businesses. Maybe like you're name? johndoe@gmail.com. Now that our society is making a shift to email as the primary mode of communication, how about making it one that you can give to your insurance company that isnt super weird? Just a suggestion.

Confessions of a Cheese-aholic

some of you may not know this... but I have been known to have an affinity for cheesy music. In fact, one time I was banned from downloading music to make cds on Liz's family computer when her mom stumbled upon this gem on her Napster playlist one day: click here.





Admittedly, this song is terrible. But I was a sucker for anything involving the Jersey Shore (not so much now.... thanks, Snooki).





Anyway, the change of leadership in our office has also brought with it a change in the music. Before, we did our daily tasks jamming to Usher's latest and greatest, now there is a medley of soft rock. Pop is obviously less professional, but made a work day turn into a dance party when no one was looking. Soft Rock, though irritating most times, does bring back some fond memories of those tunes from the pre-banned days at Wright home. Last week I heard this song. click: here's the real video... i've never seen it. I'm pretty sure that while I was downloading this song, I confessed to Liz that it made me cry.


I havent heard this (click here) at work yet, but I thought it was a good one to leave you with... maybe i'll hear it this week, if i'm lucky. Ha!

Are you a "coug"?

So what does a high divorce rate produce? Cougars.

"Cougar" has been a term that has been on the scene for a while, but I think it reaching it's pinnacle with this: click here.

It's embarrassing. really.

Fat Kid Things

(So we've been without a computer for almost 2 weeks. That is the excuse for the lack of blogging.)



Now, for some time I've been noticing little things I do that I think I can trace back to being a fat kid. I decided to make a list of them. It's not comprehensive, just a little taste. So without further adieu...

My Fat Kid Habits That Didnt Go Away Like the Baby Weight Did:

1. eating from the shower--meaning... you're eating a really good ___(insert your favorite food)___ on your way to take a shower (or maybe that is another fat kid thing by itself) and it's so good that instead of stopping and finishing when you're done your shower, just simply place it on the counter right beside the shower and continue snacking between shampooing and conditioning.




2. dripping ice cream from an empty bowl onto your spoon--your ice cream is so good that before even trying to lick the bowl, you tilt the bowl so it drips any left over ice cream onto your spoon. Then you can lick if so desired.




3. licking the top of creamer bottle when you pull the plastic top off--you know, coffee creamer? That stuff tastes amazing in your coffee and by itself. When I was a fat kid, I sipped it plain, now that I'm older, I only get that satisfaction when I open a new bottle and can lick the protective foil layer.




4. being a VIP member of the local DQ and receiving texts about special deals--BIG thanks to Patrick Annotti, a fellow chubby kid, for the tip.




5. having all your favorite things "to do" at a place only be involving food--whenever I get excited to go somewhere, my list of things I'm most looking forward too sounds something like "get cheesesteaks, have wawa, get ritas water ice, have canolis, get green house pizza, Chocolate jimmies imported from Switzerland at Juniors ice cream.... and so on".




6. always licking the knife you used to spread anything (peanut butter especially)--speaks for itself.




7. eating chocolate chips, or cookie decorating toppings if you're in a desperate search for chocolate in a sweet-less house--you need alternatives when you're in a pinch.




8. licking your finger and sticking it to the crumbs left on your plate from any dessert, until they're gone too--tell me I'm not alone...




9. using the same method listed in #8 to get all crumbs from a chip bag-- It's not gone until it's GONE right?





10. still having Kraft mac and cheese as your favorite side to ANY meal. (Or just a meal by itself)--I think this will NEVER change. Thankfully Adam loves it to.





So now you know how disgusting I truly am... hope you still love me anyway.
