Thank you for the Ego Boost, Ms. Magazine

This is most likely a mistake, but possibly a development/marketing tactic? I must say, I totally want to donate now.

Santa & I are Besties

Santa came to the Credit Union last Tuesday. I was his little helper. I think next year I’ll dress up a little more festively. At the end of the day, my face was sore from smiling so much. So many cute kids, some not-so-cute kids, and some really chatty adults.  But you know what, it’s pretty amazing how happy Santa can make people. All in all, as Ice Cube says, “It was a good day.”

In other holiday related news, I made this yesterday to bring some Christmas cheer to my building. I was inspired by Elsie Cake, but made mine a little different. It took me about 2 hours. I just half-double crocheted for 3 rows, and voila!

Thursday Inspiration: Just Be You

post-it_8-6-09

I came back from lunch to find this on my monitor. Every now and then my lovely coworker will jot down an inspirational or thought-provoking message on a post-it and leave it with me. I really loved the one she left me today and wanted to share it. It is a quote from Jason Mraz’s blog Freshness Factor Five Thousand . In his post he ends this thought with “Just Be You.” I absolutely love it. Thank you, Katrina!

Where my mind took me today

So, as I sit here at my desk listening to LastFM, I often find myself discovering new bands that tickle my fancy. I also often find myself wandering off into music la-la-land and embarking on these really lame and random thoughts such as the following.

I decided to compile a list of band names that have something in common… the word “Club”.  Excited? I bet you are. Most of these are real bands, with a few fictional ones tossed in the mix. Why not.

Two Door Cinema Club

Don’t even act like you don’t know who this is… or that you didn’t watch this show while babysitting that bratty TV-dinner-eating 8 year old girl every weekend before you got a real job…

Mickey Mouse Club

What’s up with the chef in the background. Creep City!

Can you think of any more? Do you think this was lame? Let me know! But be nice.
