SPT-Gift a Neighbor, Teacher, or Co-worker
Roseanne: [after Dan comes back from "fixing" Crystal's thermostat] You just replaced the thermostat!
Dan: I know, but it’s still either too hot or too cold.
Roseanne: That’s because she’s eight months pregnant and she keeps having hot and cold flashes.
Dan: I suggested that, but then she assured me that wasn’t the case. Then she kicked me.
Jackie: No!
Dan: Yeah. Then she started cryin’ and there was no way I could kick her back. -Roseanne

This one was harder for me, since I don’t have that many coworkers that I deal with on a daily basis. I do have an administrative professional that sits near me, an older woman who doesn’t really like her job that much. I know we’re supposed to do SPTs on Tuesdays, but I thought since today (Weds) is Administrative Professionals Day that it would be fitting to do my SPT today.

Today I sent my coworker a silly ecard.

But the biggest “gift” of all, was to turn down the thermostat. I hate air conditioning, and would much rather have fans or a natural breeze to cool me. Plus my coworker likes the office to be frozen. But, since today is her day, I went for a compromise, and turned down the heat by a few degrees.

Scavenger Hunt-Photo Style
Pacey: How do I look?
Joey: Like a before picture in an ad for geek remover. -Dawson’s Creek

I stole this from Miss Brittany, because it was just too cute. Basically, find pictures that you already have online, and use them to answer the questions below. Like Britt, I have tons of Facebook pictures all over the internet, so I might as well utilize them. So enjoy this little online photo  scavenger hunt:I’m going to have to get creative here, since I can’t use my face, so we’ll see how this turns out. (more…)


Birthday Twin and the Wine Party
Marin: “Can you think of a better way to celebrate this new chapter in our relationship?”
Jack: “We, uh, we have chapters?”
Marin: “Mm-hmm. Chapter one, ‘strangers,’ chapter two, ‘sex’… chapter three, ‘friends.’”
-Men in Trees

Today Couple Wife and I went to Birthday Twin’s wine party. It was their “Spring Release Party” where they had live music, mouth watering tritip and bbq chicken, and of course, their fantastic wine. Couple Wife drove us in her hubby’s car, so when we drove up, BT didn’t recognize me at first. He started signaling where to park, and I waved at him through the window excitedly. His mouth broke out into a huge grin and he pointed us to the front row parking space. As I got out of the car he grinned and said, “Had to give you the VIP parking spot” and grabbed me and gave me a big hug.
It felt like I just saw him yesterday, even though the last time we actually hung out was July, at my fundraiser. He looked cuter than I remembered, his eyes were a brighter blue, maybe because he had a tan. Couple Wife nudged me and said, “He’s cute, love the eyes” and winked at me. (more…)


Gym Buddy or Insecure Cling-on?

How is it that no man understands that every woman, whether she’s sixteen or sixty, still has that awkward, insecure, self-conscious teenage girl inside of her? -Elliot, Scrubs

Lately I’ve started getting into a consistent gym routine. I’m taking these classes that are really starting to help, and I’m noticing a difference. I’m feeling healthier and happier too. So having Gym Buddy call me and want to work out seemed like a great thing, at first. (more…)


Get Him to Notice You

Ha, I mean, look at me, I’m in love with a guy who won’t say he loves me back and here I am, in his kitchen, just hoping he comes home and notices me. -Callie, Grey’s Anatomy

Coast Sister sent me a link to this cute article from Glamour Magazine online. I thought I’d share with you all about how to get a guy to notice you. The author lists 8 ways to get a guy to notice you, sort of the opposite of How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days, it’s more like How to Find a Guy. Probably better advice than how to lose one. I think we all know how to do that. I personally think it’s more of an 8 ways to make a good impression on a date, because it’s all about once you’ve already met the man. Still, some good food for thought.

So here are the 8 ways:

1. Stop Playing Hard to Get- I hate games! And the funny thing is, so do guys. So don’t play em.

2. Be Attentive- Guys are attention whores, and it puffs their ego when we listen. Plus, it’s just plain polite. You want him to give you attention, so give it back in return. The author mentions putting away your cell phone, and I couldn’t agree more. Match still gets mad at me sometimes if I text while we’re on a date!
