Too Delicious?

I know this sounds hard to believe and almost impossible, but my lunch today was too delicious. I went to the deli with a co-worker. She was going to get chicken salad, and I was going to get a ham sandwich (spoken in the voice of Austin Powers). Well, last minute she decides to get a cheese steak. I of course don’t want to have a less-delicious lunch, so I get one as well. Now I’m so incredibly full I feel like Violet Beauregarde – but instead of blueberry juice you’ll find a delicious combination of steak, cheese, lettuce, mayonnaise and sun chips. Oh, and since I’m so tired form staring at a spread sheet all day, I topped that off with a cherry coke.

*PS - I wrote this yesterday but was too full (sleepy) to post.
*PS Again - I did end the night with two beers and a half priced burger from No Idea

I'd just like to point out...

...that Chick-Fil-A beat Subway!

And if you haven't tried it yet, Chick-Fil-A's breakfast is absolutely delicious. I know what you're thinking, "Fried chicken sandwich on a biscuit for breakfast?" Yes, you'll love it.

*Update: I just noticed that EVERY fast food chain beat Panera. So, yeah. I'm feeling pretty positive about the nutritional choices I've made for myself this week.

Dancing Queen

I’m sitting in my hotel room far far from home and watching the finals of “Dancing with the Stars.” Okay, far far means just down 95 and over the Woodrow Wilson Bridge at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center. It’s actually quite classy. For Virginia.

Celine Dion is currently singing “My Heart Will Go On.” I’m the trip down memory lane, singing along slightly (not too loud as my co-worker is in the room next door). As professional dancers grace the screen I have the sudden urge to take up ballroom dancing. Also growing is a feeling that I’m probably a pretty phenomenal ballroom dancer. After all, I did train formally in Beltsville as a child. If dance lessons off route 1 in PG County don’t say class and grace, then I’ve been living in denial for most of my life.

Dancing update – Marie Osmond is out. Well, she came in third place. I guess that’s good. Commercial update – soon we’ll all be able to see the classic “Alvin and the Chipmunks” on the big screen. And real life. All I can say is, “It’s about time,” and, “I smell Oscar. Okay, Golden Globe. Seriously? A Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Award if they’re lucky.” In all seriousness, I can’t wait to see it. At home. On demand. For free.

Now dancers that lost along time ago are dancing. I’m even more convinced that I could be a ballroom dancer. I’m certainly better than these celebrities. When I’m a celebrity I’ll for sure go on “Dancing with the Stars.” Oh I’ll bring it – and win it. I’m probably better than all the Spice Girls put together. Except for the sporty one, she’d probably kick my ass. Is it weird that I can’t tell the difference between the professional dancer and the “celebrity?” I’m sure I’m not the only one out there thinking the same thing, “who the heck are these people?” So, I could probably go on the show without being a celebrity and then become a celebrity for being a celebrity dancer. Sounds like a plan. Look for me next season!

Christmas Shopping

As you're deciding who amongst your family and friends have been nice enough to receive Christmas presents from you, I encourage you to keep internet shopping in mind as a great time saver. You can internet shop at home, the library, work, and even more places if you have an iPhone.* Bonus to shopping via the internet at work? You’re getting paid! Paid to shop? That means those gifts are literally free.

If you are going to internet shop, keep delivery times in mind. You like you friends and family, but do you like them enough to pay rush charges? Probably not. That means that you’ll want to order everything as soon as possible. Like, tomorrow.

Do you know someone that’s absolutely hilarious but you don’t know what to buy them? I found a quaint online shop that has just the thing for you. Okay, it’s my online shop. If this week’s sales are an indication of how the holiday season will be going, everyone will be wearing Julie K Designs in 2008. They’re quite hot right now. For a small fee I will even do a custom design for you. Just holla at me.



*I do not have an iPhone and will gladly accept one or many this Christmas.

Hooray!

Cleaning out your closet does pay off! Literally. I recently reorganized my closet and came across my leather coat. It’s stylish very rich looking. I immediately planned a work outfit around wearing my long lost coat. While walking into work this morning I placed my hands in the lined pockets for extra warmth. What do I find? Two crumpled dollar bills and a hand full of change. I haven’t counted the change yet, but the coin collection felt very quarter-heavy. Not only do I look rich in my leather coat, I am richer and can buy an orange juice from Mr. Lee’s downstairs as I actually have cash today!
