Kevin and I volunteered at a food bank this weekend. Our job was to sort through frozen foods and throw out what was bad or thawed. It made us never want to eat meat again (until dinner that night).

Product reviews

I love when others give product reviews, so I wanted to give one.

1. Aussie 3 Minute Miracle deep conditioner - $3.69

As someone who rarely gets haircuts (Marisa, do you remember the last time you cut my hair?) I have to use a deep conditioner on my ends. Also I’m cheap, so I bought this one a few months ago. When I went to get my hair dyed in December, my hair stylist said she was jealous of how healthy my hair is. (Also keep in mind that I blowdry my hair sometimes and I use a curling iron a lot.) I was shocked, so for now I’m going to give credit to this bottle of Aussie.

2. Water Bobbles - $9.99 for Medium size

I haven’t bought bottled water in almost 2 years (that is a lie - I have bought them when I’m on a road trip or when I forget to bring my bobble to the gym)

3. Wireless LCD FM Transmitter for iProducts - $5.36

(link) Since we drive back and forth to Baton Rouge and to Houston many times throughout the year - this product is required. The thing is, it works without being plugged in to an outlet or cigarette lighter, so you can also use this in a hotel room that has a clock radio. If you do plug it in, then it charges the iProduct.

Country grammar

  1. “She and her husband are going to attend.”
  2. “Her and her husband are going to attend.”

I know that the first one is correct, but I ALWAYS say the second one. It only comes out in my spoken grammar, I tend to type it correctly. However, my mouth and brain find such comfort and ease in slipping into the second one. 

When I say the phrase incorrectly like that, my older coworker always corrects me. So then I correct myself. Now I find myself being very aware of when I say it incorrectly. After returning home for the holidays, it was clear where I learned my behavior. EVERYONE was saying “Him and Stacy* are going to be late.” “Her and her boyfriend argue all the time.” So I assumed it was a Louisiana thing (obviously it doesn’t make it right, but it was regional.)

Then I heard Kevin say it the other day. A native Texan! Now I’m curious how many others make this same mistake on a regular basis…..anyone? crickets? hello?

*I don’t actually know any Stacys.**

** Ok, except this girl I went to grade school with but we aren’t even facebook friends, get over it!

Pictures from the meetup this past Saturday. Lots of pictionary was played, many penises were drawn, lots of unwatched sporting events on surrounding TVs, but most of all - a very fun and sweaty meetup.

Chat with me and a girl in HR about my cheesecake. After this, both she and Vickie (Global HR Director) did a shake down of the fridge to look for it. When it couldn’t be found, they started offering me things they thought were similar. “Here is some cheese” “Oh, here is a peppermint” “Here - eat this person’s ice cream!”

I’ve always heard of this happening to other people- I never thought it would happen to me.

The “claw nail” trend is hideous and I can’t wait for it to die.
Others that have embraced the claw nails:


In case you do like this trend, don’t worry about my opinion. I’ve also hated leggings, jeggings, and skinny jeans before I ever embraced them. I’m very Mitt Romney with my convictions.
