Treats Are SO Good

Sugar drives around NYC selling all kinds of yummy stuff to people. Meet The Treats Truck. 

Sugar dots, brownies and crispy squares oh my. What a smart concept. Can you imagine working with this clan and tooling up to an office during a work day to come to the afternoon slump rescue? What a fun job and how excited would everyone be to see you? Sign me up.
I’ll take two chocolate chippers please.

Two Hot Dudes

Looks like you might need to take a trip to Texas the next time you feel like having the BEST burger ever. Twisted Root Burger Co. has a great story. The guys seem like they’d be a trip to work and hang out with too. They even worry about making things so de-lish and fresh, they make their own ketchup and mustard.

Who says if you go to culinary school you have to go off and cook at some fancy schmancy restaurant? These guys told off the corporate world and are serving up thousands of juicy burgers to the lines out the door because they just love doing it.
I’m craving…
Road Trip! Texas or bust!

The Nicest People…

…are in Wilmington, NC. Really. 

Sorry other places. I love you, but Wilmington, NC never ceases to amaze me.
If you haven’t been before, do yourself a favor. Visit. Maybe it’s the beach, maybe the sun. Who knows.
The people in Wilmington always pass the parmesan at pizza joints when you can’t find any, let you cross the street every time, strike up conversation in the grocery line to tell you where the recycling center is, welcome you over for dinner when they don’t even know you, always look straight at you to say good morning- even if when it’s way too early to be pleasant, and are just REAL.

It’s just plain great.
You could really teach other places some things Wilmington. Thanks!

This Is A Double Decker Bus

And it’s how Argentineans travel. Everywhere. No trains, just mac-daddy buses. These are my feet. Let me tell you, the full service double decker bus rides are like nothing else. Food, drink, movies, games, music, blankets, full fold down seats to sleep…

What can beat first-class service and a full view of the Argentina landscape? Yep, they even come around with champagne until you tell them to stop. 
Forget you flights! This is so much better.

Meet Willy Robinson

I saw him fishing this morning. He looked like he was loving life, just having a peaceful and relaxing time. I introduced myself and asked him if I could take his picture. He was very sweet and welcoming. Made me smile a lot.

Here’s to simple mornings going fishing in the sunshine.
Love it.
Thanks Willy Robinson.

Peace Out Cubicle

Here are some fun options for you if you want a part-time gig. Maybe your “real job” is a drag and you could use a lighter environment. Maybe you just feel like switching it up or could use some extra cash. Either way here are a few, especially if you’re interested in meeting all different walks of life:

*Flower delivery guy or gal; Flowers always make people smile regardless of the reason for delivery. (Didn’t you ever see that cheesy movie Bed Of Roses? Don’t lie- you know you did and they were totally on point.)

*Magic Man at Chick-Fil-A; This guy does magic tricks for kids during the lunch rush. Brilliant and what a treat for any age. I was fortunate enough to experience the magic recently. (Made the nuggets taste even better if you can believe that’s possible)
*Barista; Talk about a revolving door of every Tom, Dick and Harriet! Let your personality shine and just see how fast some big wig from whatever company offers you a job, or you meet the man/woman of your dreams. Everyone drinks some kind coffee or tea beverage, rich or poor. It’s almost as if baristas have a stage to perform on everyday. Rise and shine and rock out that latte art!

*Walmart Greeter; Yeah, yeah Target is cooler. Whatever. This persons job is to stand and greet all day. What a great little part-time gig for a retiree. 
*Cart “Girl” at a golf course; Yes, they actually pay you to drive around a golf cart, on a golf course, in the sun, eat peanut M&M’s and serve icy cold beverages to golfers. (OK, so eating the M&M’s is optional- but I sure enjoy it.) No this is not a lie. 
Oh so many more I will have to add on as time goes on. There’s no time like the present to try something new. When you do something you love and have fun with it, just always seems as if more opportunity falls in your lap. Gotta love that.
