My husband is Superman

By on August 20, 2010

Well, Josh actually prefers Spiderman-that’s his favorite super hero. But the other day, my hubby was Superman for a little girl in Ann Taylor Loft.

There we were – shopping for my birthday. I had been to Charming Charlies and didn’t find any clothes I liked! I was so sad since I had a gift card – I really wanted to buy something!! So we walked into Ann Taylor Loft. (And yes, my husband is awesome for taking me shopping in the first place and standing there while I take FOREVER looking at this, picking out that, deciding which color I like…fun stuff for him, I’m sure…)

Anyway, I’m looking at a rack, deciding if I want to try on something and when I turn around to talk to Josh, he is walking over to a little girl who is in her mother’s arms – just CRYING her little eyes out. Her mother was saying to her, “Well, it’s your fault-you let it go!” That’s when I saw there was a balloon on the ceiling, just out of the mom’s reach – a balloon that my tall husband was reaching for and then handed back to the little girl. My heart melted. I turned away, so no one would see my huge smile. I heard the little girl say in her shaking, crying, adorable little voice, “Thank you.”

I love my husband – and I am so proud of the man he is. He’s my Superman!

Neato! Finding the FUN at Work

By on August 12, 2010
There are very few things at work that I find truly “fun.” (Read my whiny post here.)
But lately, I’ve been trying find happiness in the little things in life. So for the next few blog posts, I’d like to share with you the small parts of my job that I actually enjoy. We’ll call this series “Finding the FUN at Work.”
First off –
“The Neato”
Otherwise titled “How to put a CD cover onto a CD”
1. Peel off your CD label
2. Grab your Neato (I LOVE that it’s call theNeato!)
3. Put the CD Label onto the Neato, sticky side up
4. Put the CD onto the Neato
5. Push down
6. Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it…
POP! The CD pops up and…ta-dah! You have a perfectly aligned CD cover. NEATO! (Uunfortunately, I can’t show you a picture of the finished product because it is confidential. Boo.)
But I sure do love when that CD pops up! It’s kind of like a jack-in-the-box. And I have to smile every time. 🙂
Like I said, you have to find fun in the little things in life. 🙂

Tune in next time for another installment of “Finding the FUN at Work!”

And I’ll leave you today with these ADORABLE pictures of my baby boy helping me put up the laundry.
He’s so goofy!

Hello. My name is Holly, and I’m a creepy blog-stalker

By on August 6, 2010

Yesterday I figured out how to “subscribe” to non-blogger.com based blogs and how to show all the blogs I follow on my blog. (Finally – took me long enough to figure that out!) So I decided today that I should stop being “Holly the creepy blog-stalker” and start getting more involved in the blogging community. I went ahead and subscribed to some of my favorite blogs and I’m going to try to comment more on posts that I enjoy. Of course, now that I’ve made this commitment, I’ll need to be more diligent on updating my own blog. 🙂

The other thing that set off my whole new blogging attitude was that I got my first comment from someone other than my hubby. It. Was. Awesome!!!! It literally made my day. So thanks to the Newlywed Next Door for my first non-husband comment! Next time I watch the X-Files, I’ll think of you. 🙂

You probably shouldn’t be watching this on the breakroom tv…

By on

I just walked into the breakroom to dump my cherry coke zero can into the recycling bin.

“La la la, walking to the breakroom, mindin’ my own business, do dah.”

And the TV in the breakroom was on.

“Geez – ppl around here always leave this on! I’ll be nice and turn it off after I dump this can…”

But before I could, I heard some guy on the station say, “He sure has had a lot of sex this year!”

“WHAT?! What did he just say?!”

I whipped around to see what was on.

“What the heck was someone watching in our breakroom?!?!?!”

……

But then I realized it was ESPN. And the guy had said “sacks” not “sex” …which makes a LOT more sense.

🙂

It’s FRIDAY!!! Only an hour and a half until 5pm! Woo hoo!
