Hey New Jersey highway engineers, who the hell designed the exit from 287N to 80E?  Hey, let's go 75 mph, slow down to zero, then speed back up to 75 while driving behind slow trucks and trying to merge with traffic traveling the speed of light.  Apparently they're gonna fix it soon.  Soon as in 2011. #travel

This isn't a great picture, but it proves a point. 



Dora the bunny licks everything.  It doesn't matter if it has a flavor or not.  Wood, fingers, plastic, jeans.  Everything.  Strange little animal.

I have mixed feelings about person-to-person sales things like PartyLite, Tastefully Simple, and others.  On the one hand, the products are similar to things you'd find in a store, but they're usually better or different in some way.  I'm not all that into candles so I can't say much about PartyLite, but I can say from experience that the Tastefully Simple party that took place at my house a few months ago was the best female-centric food-eating sales event I've ever witnessed. 

But on the other hand, the thought keeps coming to my mind, if I wanted to buy something, I'd be at a store.  I'm very skeptical when it comes to salespeople because I know all they're doing is trying to make money.  Why else would you come to my house and try to sell me kitchen gadgets?  Because you're so convinced of their amazingness that you just have to spread the word?  No, it's because you got roped into some pyramid scheme where you're trying your best to make a buck by selling things to uninterested people who don't want your products.  To be fair, we use a PartyLite candle at least once a week, and the food we've gotten from Tastefully Simple has been the centerpiece of quite a few social engagements.  But seriously I could've probably gotten similar things at a store. 

Then there's the whole issue of helping a friend out by buying things from the company they represent, which I'm all for, but where do I draw the line?  If every one of my friends worked for some person-to-person sales company, would I buy all my unnecessary, overpriced novelty foods and gizmos from them?  Where would it end? #business

I absolutely love the few minutes at or around lunch where I walk outside in the fresh air, get away from people trying to talk to me, and stop staring at a computer screen.  I find some days that suddenly the clock will strike 5pm and I'll leave work and think what exactly did I do today?  Taking a walk mid-day helps me clear my mind and focus. #health
