How did you get gum in your hair?

I have some peanut butter at my desk....Joking. Ok, so THIS is my friend Kiska. (The one getting hair pulled out of her head. Amy is the one doing the picking.)




A few weeks ago, she got a really "cute" haircut, and then her boyfriend went and ruined it for all of us. He called her a "soccer mom." (Totally unacceptable, Morris. Totally.) Anyway, after the slam comment was made, she scurried over to her hair dresser and immediately had some extensions put in. Put in to A- not give her a "cute" hair cut, and B- rid her hair of the soccer mom look. Good idea in theory so her hair would grow, but whoa. Apparently, the extensions, made of REAL human hair (I think), decided to come slightly loose. Hence why Amy is picking at Kiska's head like a monkey on the Discovery Channel. The extensions came out in sections via some office scissors, as it were, and can be seen in my trash can below. We tried to give the hair to some co-workers to use for Halloween costume spiffer-uppers (mullet, rat tail, etc.) however they declined.

An oldie but a goodie...

Ask me a year ago what cereal I ate in the mornings and I'll tell you Kashi Go Lean. Ask me now that I am preggo and cannot handle the "extra" fiber...I am LOVING Shredded Wheat. (The old school kind.) Add a little fat free milk and it's yum-tastical. I suggest you try this delicious box of shredded goodness.

Diana's Shirt

Today at the office, although, not as productive with my "work" work, but more so with my Between the Sheets Co. work, a few funny things occurred. One of them being, my friend Diana showing up to work wearing a band t-shirt. Not a trendy, cool "band" t-shirt like Metallica or Led Zeppelin, but a BAND t-shirt. Band as in marching band. As in high school (I think) marching band. We all know that she was a part of the "Golden Wave Band of Baylor University." And you know what? I am totally fine with that. Diana is a cool chick. Below is a pic of Diana (and me "forcefully holding her down" so Amy could take a snapshot) proudly displaying said shirt. Enjoy.

Where do I even start?

Today was our friend, Joel's 28th birthday. So, in true LunchBunch fashion, we planned a LunchBunch outing. I think our group was a little overzealous, as we ventured to the "new place by Goldy's." (Harwood 609) A video can be seen here, and below I will provide feedback.



(WOW- that video is...WOW. And it showcases the...WOW.)
Let me start off with the major points of interest:
1. Water walls line the entry way
2. Look down...you'll see tiger carpet
3. Doilies, not like your grandma had, more like what your Valentine's Day cards were made of in the 2nd grade, are atop every bread "bowl" and bread "plate".
4. If you are lucky- you will get a bread plate to go accompany your dense dinner rolls
5. The term "buffet" should be used very loosely
6. The menu for today (which was Thursday) had no cohesion...we were offered to choose 1 of the following: Burgundy Meatballs, Lasagna, or Creole Chicken; then offered to choose 2 side dishes: rice pilaf, stir fry, or peas and carrots. Let the record state that all food was served cold and in a very unappetizing manner. See pics:





7. The "dessert" table was left out in the open for all to enjoy, sneeze on, cough on, sit on- you name it, you can do it. This table was graced by little plates (with doilies) with cookies and slices of some sort of pound-like cake (most likely from Sam's).
And last, but not least...
8. There was a salad "buffet" bar which included bowls of lettuce- hmmm, which bowl to choose?


You too can have this most obnoxious lunch experience for only $5.41 plus tip.

At some point during our excursion, there was a poll to see when Harwood 609 might be out of business. There are dates from all 6 members of the LunchBunch, all of which are in the first 5 months of 2009. Stay tuned.

FedEx and its arrow...I am about to ruin it for you.

About ten years ago, while shipping a plethora of advertising materials for my client, The Home Depot, my desk looked like a FedEx shipping area. I had boxes and labels and packing tape everywhere. These were the days when I was single and would glady work until 3 or 4 in the morning to get my ads out the door. (Now, not so much.) Anyway. One night/morning, I was packing away at my desk and looked down to grab a FedEx box and noticed something strange. Not even seeing the words 'FedEx', but seeing an arrow. Look closely at the logo below between the 'e' and 'x' in 'Ex' and you'll be able to see the arrow.

Recently, my friend Joel (from previous posts) has pointed this "phenom" out to all of our LunchBunch buddies, forever ruining the way they view the FedEx logo. Way to go Joel.

Photo Equals...the Results are in!

So, you might be wondering what ever happened to the young dude after he and his Argentinian amiga completed their "photoshoot" (and I use "photoshoot" very loosely). Well friend of mine who reads this blog, yes, you know who you are, Kiska. This is what happened:



The fish-netted entrepreneur never got her cash, and Joel aka the young dude, went back to work sans the white hat and forever being forbidden to wear the "gym class" t-shirt ever again.

Amen.
