Today We're FEELIN' GROOVY about:
~The Pentel Twist-Erase automatic pencil. LOVE IT! Neither of us is sure how to get lead back in it once it runs out, though.
~The way suddenly companies are calling prunes plums.
I wish I was that marketing person who marched into the meeting and
explained that prune sales would be way better if they started calling
them plums and then people under 65 might want some. BINGO! The next
time you are at the grocery store, look at the raisin section and
you'll see all the bags of dried plums instead of prunes. By the way, there's a new blog all about marketing! Go visit, Ms. Brickman has a lot of good info and more is on the way.
~I
finally found a shade of red I like for the front door on our yellow
house. It's called Poppy and is one of the Pottery Barn colors for
Benjamin Moore.
~A new issue of Blueprint Magazine. I love this mag.
In this issue, they mention Snap Pea Crisps from Trader Joe's. WHAT?
How come nobody told us about these? Has anyone tried them? Are they
good or gross?
Our Bêtes Noires:
~The a/c in Karen's house
is still broken as long as the repair man is not there. It works fine
when he's there, he leaves and it stops.
~Her dsl isn't working either.
~Everyone keeps talking to us like we're dumber than Paris Hilton and more gullible than Gilligan.
~People
who I rarely ever see or talk to but who know I hate baby showers keep
inviting me to baby showers and then get all mad when I say I am super busy that day, sorry. I'll send a gift, tho! I
just can't spend any more time of my life guessing which jar of baby
food is sweet potatoes and which is green beans. How come people aren't
happy just getting a gift from someone? However, if this person was
competing and needed support, I'd be there! If you're doing a demo
somewhere and you need fans, we'll show up! If you invite us to a
wedding, we'll be there, but if we don't know anyone and you seat us
with weirdos at the reception, we're likely to say we're going to the
bathroom then just sneak out. We'll totally support you in whatever way
you need as long as the need is not Linda at a baby shower.
