My Fortune

We ordered in Pick Up Stix today for a team lunch before the long weekend. Good conversation, good food and a great fortune.

I've always wondered when this would happen. Apparently soon. I'll keep you posted.

The Office was amazing last night

OK so do you really think they're dating or is he just trying to make Pam jealous? What was the deal with the gum? These questions take hold of my mind. My opinion, Pam is ridiculous. She rejected him so now it's her turn to take some daring initiative. She went back to her old indifferent self way too quickly. Come on Pam, put yourself out there.

Highlights:
• It was 45 minutes and should always be
• When temp claimed his desk
• Tobey trying to give knuckles

Outstanding!

Joshua Radin in Concert

My husband took me on a date last night to the House of Blues to see a musician we enjoy named Joshua Radin. He's part of an 11 week tour called Hotel Cafe, proceeds go to (PRODUCT)RED. His set was short but brilliant. He's a featured artist on Zach Braff's new movie The Last Kiss. Here's a video about the movie and soundtrack. Paperweight with Schuyler Fisk is a winner, which they performed at the concert together - very sweet. Fear You Won't Fall is my favorite of his from a previous CD.

InDesign CS2 Lesson


I spent the first half of my day today at an InDesign class put on by one of our printers West America Graphics. It's a free class that they offer to their clients to further our learning and streamlining file preparation and hand off. It really benefits everyone involved.
I learned so much. They brought in a gentleman who does Beta testing and consulting for Adobe - so he really knew what he was talking about, offering tips and how to's to benefit our workflow across the board.

To top it all off, I got a certificate of completion (andy's going to frame it) and I won a $10 Starbucks card in the drawing. Hooray!

Family Picture Day


Years of my mom's forced photography sessions has really paid off. We are all well trained, even my 2 year old niece, to know the sooner we all just sit there and smile the sooner it willl be over.
Of course we're always appreciative after the fact. So thank you mom for yet another great captured moment.

YS Anaheim - more fun than expected

I really don't look forward to conferences, but tonight I had a great time working in the SYM store at YS.

1) we were over staffed so I barely had to work at all. the best.
2) most of our team was there which means lots of fun.
3) everybody's families came - new babies, kiddos running around. very entertaining.
4) I got a watermelon jolly rancher from Group Publishing's booth. delicious.
5) 2 people recognized me from the podcast and thought I was cool.

I'd say a pretty great outcome from having to work on a saturday.
