i had this for lunch: Caprese Hoagie = Fresh buffalo mozzarella, tomato, basil, sopresatta, oil and vinegar

I just ate a fortune cookie and this is what the fortune said –“Pay attention to your nonverbal cues, and try turning it down.”

I asked my friend D, "Do they want me to stop rolling my eyes?"

He responded, "You may want to at least try closing them first before you roll them…"

That's actually probably a pretty good idea.

i have my office door open this morning and this is what i hear...

"i just figure, if we're going to give thanks for something, let's give it with steak!"

it appears my coworker isn't too jazzed about turkey; she's more of a red meat woman.

we had a meeting today that discussed ways to deal with stress. what i found particularly applicable were some of the reasons given for stress within our lives. (their wording, not mine.)

people experience stress when:

too little perspective on what is meaningful and important.

too much incongruence between our values and lifestyle.

You're thinking this post is going to be about the change in weather. It’s not, it's about deodorant.

I needed new deodorant and I’m not set on a certain brand or scent as long as it’s some sort of “invisible” or clear type. So, I look down and there is a sale and the reduced price is 1/3 of what I was going to buy. Tropical Paradise? I like coconut just as much as the next girl. How bad can it be?

I’m here to tell you it can be pretty bad. About 15 minutes had passed from the time I applied to the time I hit the highway going to work and I had already had enough. I can’t tell you what fruit smell in particular seems to be the problem. It’s just this perfumed fruit combination. It’s like I’ve spilled really bad fruit punch all over me and don’t have a change of clothes.

My advice, stick to the unscented. Maybe venture off into a “shower fresh” if you need a little variety. Even the “powder fresh” would have been worth the extra $1.50. Here’s hoping you don’t smell like me today!
