the prez at ray's hellburger!!!

the president (of the United States that is) was at ray's hellburger today! check out the video...no matter how you feel about the guy's politics, it's pretty cool to live in a city where the president eats lunch like 50 yards from my house!!!

gmail update

well, not only is gmail going to be inaccessible, but until they figure out a way to filter it, they are monitoring people's access to it! so far they've tracked down two other people and gotten them in trouble for chatting at work...

on another note, i just found out that i will doing some more traveling for work! i will officially be able to check "kansas" off my list of states that i've seen. whoo hoo!

gmail access

so the saddest day of my career has officially arrived. i was just informed that i will most likely lose access to gmail while i am at work. this is an incredibly sad and unfortunate development, and i apologize because it will make my response times to emails infinitely slower. i probably won't lose my company email though and i have unlimited texting, so if you need me before the end of the work days, those are you new best bets for contacting me. ugh, this is really annoying news, even for a monday.

monopoly tournament!

i should've known that events like this took place, but i had no idea it would hit so close to home! i think we should have a tournament among our friends to determine who should enter to become the next US monopoly champion! seriously, who's in?

spa week!

i have heard rumors about this week and apparently it is finally here! it's spa week in the DC area, and apparently you can get tons of treatments for only $50! check it out and let me know if anyone's interested, cause i'd seriously consider a massage...

a new low

i have discovered a new low in the world of healthy eating...don't get me wrong, i am a big proponent of healthly eating, but i also feel like as long as you eat most things in moderation and stick to health pyramid proportions, you're allowed to indulge sometimes without feeling guilty.

that philosophy has led to me believe that this new invention is completely unnecessary and totally ridiculous, but too funny not to blog about :) apparently this guy's at work developing a "steak dinner" spray next...yuck.

these are a few of my favorite things...

so i know it's been forever since i posted, and i apologize for my slacking! hopefully, this will help make up for it...

i subscribe to a blog called "Office Tally", which centered around the show "The Office". today, i read a post detailing the results of their latest contest, which basically involved making a diorama of a scene from the office using peeps as the characters! check out the top 20 finalists and pick your favorite...how i missed out on a diorama contest for the office, i will never know.
