Sad News

Today Carrie decided to take a romantic getaway with Doug (who really wasn't all that crazy about it). You see, Carrie read a magazine that said you had to build "tent poles" meaning strong memories that hold up your relationship...this romantic getaway was one of the "tent poles." Well, when Doug went to work his best friend Deacon told him about a trip he had planned that weekend for "the guys" to Atlantic City. What was Doug going to do? Choose his wife or PARTE with his friends (which is what he wanted to do). Somehow Doug convinced Carrie to go to Atlantic City with the group and she could go to the spa and stuff. Uh, how could she resist? They went, but something happened to where Deacon couldn't go anymore.

So the sad news is that Deacons wife left him. I mean I KNEW it was going to happen sometime...but that poor man is now left with nothing....what will he do? Too bad it was a re-run and I already know what he's going to do later on....

Wow, people can really talk about a TV show like they know the people....good to know.

More Books

After being encouraged by Justin to beat the return of the SFAers I went and bought my books for this semester. It turns out that one of my classes has 12 books in it. I'm just glad that it is my Children's literature class that has that many books instead of my geography class. (phew) And I guess those books really don't count considering they are books like Harry Potter, The Cat In the Hat, The Giving Tree, etc. I'm actually excited to read those books...in fact, I am giddy at the thought of reading them.

When I got home from work I decided to rearrange stuff in my apartment. I suppose it is called rearranging...maybe I'm just arranging stuff for the first time. Anyway, when I unpacked all of my stuff I really just dumped it out, shoved it somewhere, and threw away the box. NOW I can truly say that everything (except the stuff in this one closet) is unpacked AND has it's own little home.

My new television addiction is "The Newly Wed Game". I LOVE that show despite its age! I think the best part is when you see what they've won and realize that it really isn't all that impressive anymore. Or maybe that is just sad. Either way it has made its way into my Season Pass list. :)

I can't wait until tomorrow because it is "chinese food day" at work! Goodnight...

Got a Sweet Toothe for Online Shopping?

This morning I was listening to NPR on the way to work (afterall, Kidd Kraddick doesn't air on Saturdays) when I heard about this really cool clothing store in Boston. You see, I'm a sucker for appealing ads and clever advertising tricks, so this shop was right up my alley--Johnny Cupcakes. You might have already heard of this store and if you haven't just click the link above to visit their website.

Johnny Cupcakes looks like a bakery on the outside. Bakery shelves and jars are seen through the windows, but once you go inside you soon find out that it isn't a cupcake store. Shirts are folded in baking pans and the cashiers are wearing aprons. Various paintings are hung on the wall feauturing the famous cupcake. The Statue of Liberty is holding a cupcake instead of a torch...Marlyn Monroe has a tiny cupcake by her mouth instead of a mole, etc. The layout is really cute and people visit most of time thinking they are going to endulge in some sweet cupcakes. The shirts are neat too...rather expensive for just shirts, but Johnny purposely limits the amount sold.

If you go to their site and click on the "shop" tab you will see all the stuff they sell. Again, really cool shirts..a little expensive. BUT, another thing I like is how they arrange the models for that page. My fave is the baseball t-shirt model with cupcake icing for those little marks under his eyes...very creative. Oh, and I like the hippo shirt the best. :)

Man,..now I'm really hungry.
