TTAA (Things that are awesome)

Insanely fun and cool best pals visiting from Chicago. Riding in cars with boys. Waking up on Saturday mornings chatting and giggling over coffee about events the night before and how much of a blast you had as if you’re 19 and still in college. Deep fried french toast and breakfast sandwiches with diet cokes at Sweet and Savory. Boat rides in the sunshine on the ocean. Cocktails on a patio. Getting showered and gussied up. Fantastic conversation over dinner, feasting at Brasserie du Soleil with a huge group of new and old friends, enjoying life the best way; “Another bottle please! Who wants a bite of mine? OOH this is SOO good, here- try a some! I am totally getting dessert- Ok, you want to share? We’ll take the chocolate mousse, chocolate peanut butter and creme brulee please!” Laughing, laughing, laughing. A stuffed belly of really good food and drink. Booty shakin’. Riding in the back of trucks. Warm summer night air. Going to bed way later than you should.

Forget The Boardroom

I knew this was going to be there when I got back to my car. I had fed the meter a bunch of quarters, but my work meeting at the beach, sitting on a bench, in the sun on this Friday morning (yes I said work meeting) was just too good to interrupt. 

Thinking to myself as I sat on the bench in my meeting:
Shit. I think I only have until 10:10am on the meter. Don’t want to interrupt this conversation. It is too good. The ticket is probably going to be 25 or 30 bucks. Crap. I literally don’t even have that much in my bank account to pay for it right now. What’s this conversation worth to me? A lot actually, so I’m going to sit right here and keep talking. Have fun hooking me up with a ticket- meter lady!
I am confident this will end up being one of the best $20 investments in my future I will ever make.
Now that’s what I call a good deal.

Drop TOMS Not Bombs

As if I didn’t think the company TOMS Shoes was fantabulous enough already. It has been the topic of a couple recent conversations I’ve had so I just sent the link to yet another friend. Saw this great tee and had to share. More ways to sport something cool and help a someone in need. Love that.

To all you big companies out there; How are you doing good? Hope you’re following the lead of companies like these or have your own awesome community do-gooding going on.
Hats off to you once again TOMS!

FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER

Just click here and you’re in like flynn.

Yes, my fingers are bleeding a bit for typing that. It’s Ok. I’ll get used to it and maybe I’ll even start to like it.

What can I say. I want to go to infinity and beyond with Blue Lollipop Road. (Why do I keep quoting Buzz Lightyear?) So? Twit, tweet, twa-(whoa whoa whoa, keep it clean) I will. I am taking the help. Did you hear that world? I am taking the help and I am screaming that out loud. Funny it took me until today to realize it might take me much longer than I’d like, to dig my tunnel alone with a spoon to China.
I can’t lie. I love being a stubborn ass.
