Off The Cuff

Oh my. It has been a busy day. But thankfully you can now see my actual desk. Most of the morning it was buried in papers and notes. Remember, I’m more than just pretty, I’m efficient too.

So here is the exciting news of the week. The other day I received a letter from Air Miles telling me how many air miles I had earned in the past year and all of the various things I could trade my miles in for. Later that night I decided to go on the website and find something to trade my pitiful amount of miles in for. I settled on a few gift certificates (Thanks for the free clothes, Air Miles) and still had a couple hundred points left in my account.

I scrolled through the pages of lame electric can opener type items, until on the very last page I found just the thing that has been missing from my life! A Magic Bullet!

Of all the things I need in my life, I have realized that the ability to make homemade salsa and guacamole in three seconds was at the top of that list.

I am not sure if you have seen the infomercial of this product, but it sucks me in EVERY time. It was on just the other night, and for probably the hundredth time, I had to watch it in its entirety.

So in about four weeks, Jenny and I will be proud owners of a Magic Bullet. And it was 100% free of charge! Thanks Air Miles.

I have heard mixed reviews as to how well the product actually works, but who cares, now Jenny and I can do our own infomercial re-enactments. I only wish Eric was here to experience the fun.

Please don’t forget to vote for who I should take to Preference, even though I may have already, kinda asked someone, via Facebook nonetheless. How gauche is that?

I figured that if I have already spent years of my life trying to come up with elaborate asking methods, so why not, in this my comeback year, try a more low key approach. If this actually works, I will be surprised.

Embracing the three day work week.
Relieved you aren’t dead.
Waiting to see what kind of hilarity ensues this weekend.

As Always,

odd that you complain about having an 'internet boyfriend' with no real-world conversations, and then you go for the preference invitation on facebook. hypocrite much?

I also like to leave anonymous comments belittling people's decisions...oh, wait...You can see who this is.

I haven't seen the infomercial for the Magic Bullet, but we bought one the other day for Scott's grand nephew who got married. They had registered for it at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Let me know how it works out! It sounds fun and the perfect thing for an apartment! Good luck with your preference date. I voted for the RM, (I think--it was last week--how can I be expected to remember something that long.) :-)
Love, Aunt Gayle

Not dead? Was that in reference to me? Or am I being too vain?

I'm glad your come back will be low key. It should be fun for you.
