V-Day Delights...


Valentine's Day is tomorrow. Are you ready? For what, you ask? Well for all of the faces of the hopeful...those waiting at their work place. For whom? For what? Well duh, for the most sought after, looked for, hoped for person of the day - THE FLORAL DELIVERY PERSON!! Every single time the door opens tomorrow, the masses will wait and hope with baited breath...eyes will widen and swing to and fro and then zero in on the door...all waiting to see who will receive the first/next/best/biggest/ delivery. Roses, tulips, orchids, lilies and that's not all. Stuffed animals, boxes of chocolates and balloons of various colors/sizes/shapes will be arriving en masse.
Oh and it's not just the workplace that will have this influx of floral bouquets. High Schools will be even worse, I mean will see even more deliveries. Flowers, baskets, balloons, banners and posters! And the various school organizations gets in on this heavy. Cue the PA... "FOR $3.00 YOU CAN HAVE A ROSE DELIVERED TO YOUR SECRET CRUSH DURING THE DAY. ALL PROCEEDS BENEFIT YOUR STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION"      Now after that announcement, maaaaannnn the students are watching the door in each one of their classes...waiting and speculating on who will be receiving a rose (Ha! Don't believe me. How many of you watch or know of a show about who receives a flower? IJS)
And then it happens (cue the PA again) "MRS. JOHNSON? WILL YOU PLEASE SEND TIFFANY DAVIS TO THE OFFICE?"  This announcement is met with oooohs and whispers and speculation as to why Tiffany is being called to the office. Tiffany herself wonders...panics? Is she in trouble?! Did something hap-and then she remembers what day it is. IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY!!!! Now she can't get out the door and to the office fast enough! When she returns she's not empty handed. Oh no, not even close!She comes back to class, arms laden with a vase of roses, a teddy bear that's at least 4 feet tall, a dozen heart-shaped balloons, a box of chocolates...and the biggest toothpaste-commercial smile ever!!!image.png
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ok I will behave...is this better?

This year, I decided to do something a little different for Valentine's Day. I am taking VACATION!! That's right! I will NOT be in the office tomorrow. I will not be waiting with baited breath for a floral delivery or any other sort of delivery. I will be on VACATION. Where am I going? Oh, I'm not going anywhere. I just took the day off to give folks a reason to speculate. I figure it's MY gift to them.
XOXO,

Look before you eat...

Hello folks! This is NOT the Super Bowl party snack post. (check back tomorrow for that one). But it is related to food (smile) This post is a cautionary tale about food - specifically MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT! A friend and coworker of mine visited an establishment who was offering FREE bagels today. How wonderful! I really enjoy bagels from this particular restaurant. And who doesn't like. FREE, right?Well, imagine her surprise when she reached into her a bag for delightful wheel of bready goodness and finds a little something extra: The heck is THAT??!?!?!! What do you think this something extra is? (no, I'm not talking about the raisin) Look closely at the top of the bagel. Do you see those tawny colored rope-y looking things? I was hoping it was a piece of the paper bag the company put her FREE bagels in. But honestly, she I both had the same thought - "It looks like strands of WEAVE/BRAID EXTENSIONS!!!" GASP! My buddy was not ...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...

Cast Off

Letting go isn't always an easy thing.  It is most times, well, a necessary thing...of course necessary has nothing to do with easy.  How many of you are currently in a relationship? No, not with chocolate or alcohol but an actual relationship with another person? They text you or call you every day several times a day...you're making plans to see them before you even finish with one date...you miss them when your time together for that date is drawing to an end...you see them walking towards you and you can't help but smile, waiting for that hug, that kiss...you have so much fun with them you can't imagine them not being around... Fun stuff right? (Ok well most of the time it is - if not, get out but that's a post for another time)  Ok so for all the currently boo'd up readers, is this your first relationship? Hmm, I'm guessing probably not - at least for most anyway. So at some point you were head over heels for someone else. Each day you woke up excit...
