The chocolate balsamic vinegar! O.M.G. They have violet, too!

ERIN ERIN ERIN! If I send you money, will you PLEASE pick up the violet vinegar and mail it to me? Please?

Art Crawl!!!

So I get to work this morning to discover that they are testing the fire alarm. The office opens at 8 am it was about 10 minutes to 8. I walk in, can't bear the noise, and just walk through the building to go grab a breakfast sandwich at the caf - figuring that testing will be done by the time I get back.

My boss comes out and yells that it's just testing - like I should stay in the noise.

No way.

That noise was designed to drive you away (as are the strobe lights) and one of the bad memories I have of being on lockdown is that for some reason the fire alarm was on for a good long time and we weren't able to leave. Torture!

Happy Thursday, right?

Demeter doesn't have bergamot, but it does have Earl Grey tea.

I'm having issues today. My tummy is cramping. My feelings got hurt by my sister, and I left my lunch and my keys at the house. Boo.

I needed new body wash, and you all got me thinking about it, so instead of my usual Trader Joe's citrus, I got the tea tree peppermint

Body wash report -- Smells great while washing, leaves no discernible scent on the skin. Win.

That's pretty awesome.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I swear when I was doing my taxes earlier that I was getting some back from NY state and owing about the same to the Fed. Today I go on to finally finish and I owe to both and not what I remember owing at all. wth?!?!

I cannot figure this out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love that letter!

not your mom's socks.

oh that's a fantastic letter.

Everyone remember my old job with ECN? They totally called me to read over something before they sent it to the printer today. It was cute the way they asked. And yeah, I completely fell for it. I still love my people there.
